That wasn't really my point at all. My point was that not liking the covers doesn't make you shallow and that to assume otherwise is a grossly inaccurate generalization, especially when it's not really all that obvious that Ayumi is sad and depressed on said covers. My personal opinion is the covers don't look like a tabloid, or at least it doesn't look like anything I've seen on the cover of Star,people's or any of those gossip papers. Maybe tabloids in Japan are different but this is what a sad and lonely party queen looks like in the tabloids here. (Sorry I don't have a larger image)
