Runner's World and dumb product promotion

Why do I continue to read Runner's World when every issue tells you basically the same thing? And why do I continue to read it when I know the magazine has no scruples about liberally mixing advertising into its "reporting?" The Jan. 2011 issue has a feature on running makeovers, one of which outfits a guy who normally runs in sweats in high-tech, expensive winter running gear. What's wrong with sweats? And doesn't anyone wear plain t-shirts anymore?
