...is that all the rabid fans chomping at the bit over BND have to buy the issues they don't support to use said bingo card.
I don't like what's happened either, but with all the buzz these events in Spider-Man have generated the fans are doing exactly what Marvel wants; discussing the books and generating interest in the product. While the bingo card is amusing, it gives the fans another reason to pick up the book rather than speak with their wallet.
And despite all the hate Quesada is taking, I don't like how so many people take personal shots at him. As EIC he doesn't want Spider-Man to fail, he's doing what he thinks is right to ensure the longevity of the character. Do I agree with his approach? No. But how often do we say that all we can ask of people is that they do their best?

Even if you set aside the large and growing number of fans who download illegally, there are countless communities like scans_daily where people can legally post up to half the pages of any given issue, which is more than enough to tell whether it's good or bad, and therefore worth being bought or not.
I've actually started buying some comics because I saw how good they were on scans_daily, and likewise, I've never purchased others after seeing how bad they were. In fact, this bingo card was created by a fellow scans_daily poster in direct response to my post of the first eight pages of "Brand New Day." The post with those BND scans, by the way, has generated roughly 300 replies so far, all but one of which have been totally negative.
Really, there's no excuse anymore for paying any amount of money for comics you might not like.
