Latest issue of BusinessWeek arrived and it's a doozy. Not.

Anyone else noticed? Was it just the end-of-year blues, all the usual companies pull out or run out of budget or . . . dealing with golf superstar scandals (Accenture)?

It's the leanest issue I believe I've ever seen. 68 slim pages, with very few ads. So few that one can turn page after page after page after page of articles without seeing an ad.

I wasn't even able to spend the normal five minutes pulling out all the two-sided ad pages and "special advertising sections" on why I ought to set up offices in [insert random country name here].

Did Bloomberg fire the sales team when they bought the magazine, or what?
