God forbid we gaze upon the visage of a scientist. It must be horribly jarring to read a textbook and see pictures of Einstein and Curie...
If there was anything worth reading in magazines I'd also be mad if I had to scroll past 8 pages that were just pictures of Einstein standing in his field.
Don't read magazines. They have pictures of humans. And stay away from IEEE journals, too.
You can still enjoy rags even if they're mostly fluff and photoshoots. You don't have to convince me it's okay.
I didn't realize that you being mad was a sign of enjoyment. Perhaps somebody should look into this curious apparent overlap of pleasure and pain!
