Time Inc. has announced today that Life magazine will be folding, after the print issue dated April 20, 2007. The disappearance of Life (currently distributed as a weekly newspaper supplement) marks the first time 'Life' ended since, well, the last time…thirty-five years ago.

Naturally, the announcement was met by disappointment (by the magazine's many staffers) dismay (by its small, but sort-of dedicated readership) and really bad puns (by every bored reporter in print/media).

From E&P:
"'LIFE' Cut Short: Time Inc. Shutters Newspaper Supplement"

From Gawker:
"Time Inc. CEO "Regrets To Inform You" That 'Life' Is Over"

From Fishbowl:
"Death to Life."

Mainstream media journalists and bloggers uniting in a puntastic farewell to a magazine beloved by senior citizens everywhere? It truly is the end of Life as we know it.
