ACS: Popular media's new floozy

Taken a look at the cover of this month's PC Authority? Splashed right across the front:

In association with Channel Seven's Today Tonight


Wow. That's certainly going downhill from their previous issue's "The hidden power of Google Earth".

For those of you who don't know, you get a subscription to PC Authority with your ACS membership. In essence, the ACS is saying, "we endorse this magazine". By proxy then, if PC Authority endorses Today Tonight, then the ACS endorses Today Tonight.

That's hardly professional, for the supposed "association for IT professionals". Next the ACS will be doing an exposé on the best fake tan.
