Tightwads
There's saving money, and there's being tight: saving money at the expense of other people, or simply for the miserly hell of it.

I'd buy it if the content wasn't shit.
When I was younger and more foolish I fell prey to the blandishments of the no-doubt completely-legitimately-homeless-and-not-lying-to-me-at-all person with his plaintive mating call of "biggishoo, biggishoo" and bought a copy.
Fuck, for that money I could have bought a copy of the Daily Heil. The quality of the writing would have been better, for a start.
If your business model is to try to emotionally blackmail members of the public into doing something about the homeless problem at one remove (by flogging a shit magazine instead of getting direct donations) then at least have a decent product to sell. If you can't be bothered to produce a decent product, then don't bother; solicit direct donations instead.
