Are you dying from endlessly trying to emulate Martha Stewart Living?
Does Better Homes and Gardens seem to be telling you, "Well, better than your home, anyway"?
Is Real Simple not quite simple enough?
Then SOUR is the magazine for you!
SOUR is the monthly publication for those whose lives have fallen far short of their early potential.
Our editorial staff has taken to heart our magazine's motto:
"The Art of Fine Living with Your Regrets"
If you ever thought you'd be President of the United States, a millionaire by 40, or really anything other than miserable and languishing in middle management at a company you abhor, let us send you a free trial issue of SOUR.
You know you've failed, but why turn to other magazines who seem to believe that you're suddenly going to turn your life around?
Do you really think the freelance magazine writer telling you how to organize your home office didn't write the article from a desk stacked to the rafters with unfinished articles, unpaid invoices, and half-hearted first stabs at his novel?
Did the Editor leave out the part of the Build It Yourself Patio article when the couple fought for 4 days about whether it should be brick or Saltillo tile?
Of course they did.
SOUR writers, editors, and photographers have been there and done that. They understand the chances of you putting down the magazine to train for a marathon or start your own lavender farm are exactly zero.
They write, photograph, and edit from their broken, misshapen hearts, then pass along their discouraging perspectives to you.
Just take a look at this month's thrilling offerings:
* Five Fabulous Vacation Places WAY Out of Your Budget
* Readers Poll: Your Biggest Disappointment To Date
* 7 Easy Kitchen Makeovers That, Let's Face It, You'll Never Get Around To
* Fun Optical Illusions! Roll Your Eyes To See What These Shapes Actually Are!
* More Fashion Choices that Look Better on Really Thin, Beautiful Models Rather Than the Rest of Us

Sound too good to be true?
(Well it should, because we charge you for shipping on the books. But, hey, we're telling you up front.)
As for your first issue of SOUR, prepare to be pleasantly surprised!
But you should first set your expectations rather low.
Otherwise it'll probably just confirm your suspicions that nothing's ever as good as it seems.
Frankly, we don't blame you.
