Exasperated- I know the real way these people got beach bodies and it doesn&#8217;t have anything to do with Pilates.  The girls inject horse urine and the guys do &#8216;roids.  Duh. <\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>6. Hopeless- for the future of society.  <\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>7. Impressed- by how often I&#8217;ll read the &#8220;Celebrities are just like you!&#8221; section.  It turns out, celebrities are not just like me.  They&#8217;re never shown lying on the couch watching reruns of King of The Hill and eating Andies Candies.  <\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>8. Worried- That I may actually be making myself dumber by reading People.  I&#8217;d probably be better off binge drinking.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>9. Curious- About how these stories compare to the current issue of The National Enquirer.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>10. Positive- That purchasing People magazine will hurt my chances of running for political office in the future.  The people will tolerate a lot, but will surely draw the line at an unhealthy obsession with tabloids. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>10 Feelings I Frequently Have While Reading People Magazine: &nbsp; 1.
