Oh my God, it's 99 cents. You can find 99 cents on the ground, for crying out loud. It's not a huge monetary investment.
I'm not trying to diminish the plight of the poor in America, here, but the way people are talking in here makes it sound like NBC is asking us to spend $20 for some paper glasses.
TV Guides cost 99 cents. In this day and age, that's the closest to free you're going to get without it actually being free. However, if you still can't afford it, either ask someone you know to buy it for you (I'm sure someone somewhere will lend you 99 cents) or find someone who gets TV Guide anyway but doesn't watch Medium. Either way, I don't think it's too ridiculous to put the glasses in a magazine that 75% of TV viewers purchase anyway. I don't buy TV Guide anyway, but I also don't mind spending an extra dollar this week.
