Most Controversial Magazine Covers of All Time

[pokerfan]

I have to admit that I didn't see anything controversial about the Playboy cover until I read the accompanying text. I still don't. :shrug:

We’ve put together a collection of magazine covers that have stirred up controversy through the years. These covers can serve as object lessons for what to do and what not to do both with design and editorial. While some controversial covers have worked and sold more magazines, or won awards for the editors who made the decision to go to press with them, others were embarrassments that the publication had to either apologize for, or fire an editor over. Here are some of the most controversial magazine covers of all time. Feel free to suggest other covers that you think should be part of this collection.

1. Well, it was 1971

It was still shocking for James Bond to have a love scene with a black woman that year.

2. WRT that 3rd picture...

For the longest time, I didn't realize that was Yoko's hand on John's back. I just figured he had some kind of vestigial dorsal fin.

3. I still have that National Lampoon somewhere

My favorite mag cover ever. :rofl:
