Who is the master of magazines?
By Rebekah Bradford, Special to The Post and Courier
Thursday, September 2, 2010
In the spring, the magazine industry unveiled an ad campaign to remind people that print magazines still are vital in the age of the Internet. The ads are kind of catchy, so we decided to represent magazines in this week's Head2Head trivia. Three-time winner Corie Young is taking on challenger Josh Frasier, who's just returned from backpacking around Europe for the summer.
QUESTIONS
What was the name of John F. Kennedy Jr.'s magazine?
Who was the first person on the cover of Playboy magazine in 1953?
What does "GQ" stand for?
The documentary "The September Issue" is about what magazine?
What year did Rolling Stone magazine start?
What sports figure has been featured on the cover of Sports Illustrated more than anyone else?
What magazine is photographer Annie Leibovitz best known for?
Name the magazine that has an annual "Sexiest Man Alive" issue?
The idea that some cartoons in this magazine have impossible-to-understand punchlines was a subplot in a "Seinfeld" episode.
What magazine has the highest circulation in the U.S.?
CORIE'S ANSWERS
I bought the first issue. It's George.
Wasn't it Marilyn Monroe?
Guys Quality.
Vogue.
This is a guess: 1969.
Babe Ruth.
Entertainment Weekly.
Oh that would be People.
Time magazine?
Reader's Digest.
JOSH'S ANSWERS
JFK had a magazine?
Farrah Fawcett.
Gentleman's Quarterly.
Vogue. Don't ask why I know that.
Late sixties. Maybe '67.
Michael Jordan.
Uh, don't know.
People.
The Economist.
I'm going with People magazine again.
CONCLUSION
Josh took down the three-time winner and will be back next week to try for a repeat. Regarding the questions, neither contestant knew about Annie Leibovitz's connection to Vanity Fair despite some of her iconic photography regularly gracing the pages of the magazine. And both contestant expressed surprise/shock that AARP had the largest circulation of any magazine in the country. Until next time.
CORRECT ANSWERS
George.
Marilyn Monroe.
Gentleman's Quarterly.
Vogue.
1967
Michael Jordan.
Vanity Fair.
