    Elementary School Cancels Their Subscription to US Weekly

    We just received a sternly-worded missive from the Orange Center Elementary School in Fresno, asking us to cancel their subscription to US Weekly. Presumably this is part of the wave of cancellations related to their totally controversial Sarah Palin coverage. This raises so many questions: what exactly is an elementary school doing with a subscription to US Weekly? And why did they e-mail us to cancel it?

    Hello,

    Please advise how our school can cancel its subscription to US
    MAGAZINE so that we do not receive any more copies. Your publication
    has become offensive.

    Thanking you in advance,

    Orange Center Elementary School
    3530 S. Cherry Ave.
    Fresno, Ca 93706
