Holy sheeit, y'all!

[JeffR]

I was just over to the convenience to buy my lotto tickets, a pack of smokes and a sixpack. Thought I'd check out the nudie mags and maybe see what the Enquirer's talking about this week. Was just about to head home to write some more checks that will bounce for sure, when I saw the cover of some slick magazine called the Yew Norker or something like that. And there's Barry and his missus on it. Turned my head around, and how.

I wasn't going to vote this fall, just like usual. But I have to do what I can to save this nation from radicals like Osama bin Barack.

Barr '08!

[eleny]

1. Lucky for us that the New Yorker saved you from making a big mistake

[JeffR]

2. I'm gonna go praise Jesus right now.

Whew.

[eleny]

5. Say hey for me, will ya!

[JeffR]

7. He says hey back.

And eat your greens.

[eleny]

9. Consider it done, JC

With an Amen tossed in fer spice.

[AZBlue]

3. Precisely!

[jefferson_dem]

4. My greatest concern at this point ..

is that bin Barack may have just lost the "Get a Brain Morans" guy's vote for good.

[JeffR]

6. Worse, Moran Guy might stick with Vanity Fair and Architectural Digest this week.

If he does, he'll never know what danger he's putting America in.

[Goblinmonger]

13. But what I really want to know

is if the other guy will cast asparagus at Obama because of this cartoon.

[JeffR]

15. Arugula

maybe.

[Breeze54]

8. DUzy!! LMAO!!

:rofl:

:P

Do I have to send you an PM saying I nominate this OP? :P

[JeffR]

10. I can't worry about the DUzy Awards right now.

I'm too darn worked about about a magazine!

[JohnnyLib2]

11. Did ya call the church and line up some snakes?

Heavy artillery is needed.

[JeffR]

16. Snakes!

Thanks, great idea.

[NanceGreggs]

12. And therein lies the potential problem.

While far from being the New Yorker's target audience, they sure caught your eye - and in so doing, validated the image of Obama the RW have been selling you all along.

Low information voters don't know from satire - but they recognize a Muslim-garbed, flag-burning terra-ist when they see his pitcher on the front of one of them slick-and-fancy librul magazines.

I have no doubt that this was never the New Yorker's intent, but it may nonetheless be an inadvertent consequence.

[Goblinmonger]

14. You may want to get your satire meter fine tuned

because I do believe the OP was satire.

[JohnnyLib2]

18. Now, this is gonna be fun.

Stay tuned.

[scarletwoman]

23. ...

:rofl:

[NanceGreggs]

19. I appreciate your comment ...

... but being as the OP is my husband, I kinda got his drift.

(You, of course, had no way of knowing that - so I can understand your concern!)

[Goblinmonger]

25. So don't I look like the stupid ass?

I'll file that information under the I'll never remember it but I should catagory.

[JeffR]

28. No sweat!

I'll be teachin' her a lesson soon as I have a few beers and take my shirt off.

[NanceGreggs]

29. Stupid ass?

Not at all! In different circumstances, my reaction would have been the same as yours!

:hi:

[krispos42]

75. You two are married?

That must make for interesting dinnertime converstations....

:-)

[gateley]

21. I think she knows that --

better than we do. :7

It's hard to get something past an Argentinian firecracker.

[KitchenWitch]

33. Oh dear, I believe you just stepped in it up to your neck.

[Danger Mouse]

52. Dude! I love that image in your sigline!

[mucifer]

17. and it just might sell a few magazines. The article inside portrays him as shrewd Chicago politician

[NanceGreggs]

27. If only Joe Sixpack had a penchant ...

... for reading the articles inside of magazines. Turnin' pages is hard work, and making sense of all those big words is harder still.

[Breeze54]

36. And Joe Sixpack working 12 to 14 hour days probably can't keep his/her eyes open long enough

to take a dump, let alone read a high hifalutin piece of
crap like the New Yorker, let alone waste money on it!

Just :wow:

[NanceGreggs]

46. It doesn't take much effort to see a magazine cover ...

... at the check-out stand, and walk away with your own conclusions.

I've never "read the articles" in the National Enquirer or the Midnight Star - but just seeing the covers, I know for a fact that the Bush twins were sired by Osama bin Laden, and extra-terrestrials practically own South America.

[Breeze54]

51. I heard that too!! Damn those extra-terrestrials !!!

:rofl:

[NanceGreggs]

59. As though their crop-circles ...

... would ever distract us from their true intentions!

:rofl:

[Chulanowa]

78. They sure are pretty, though!

[Breeze54]

22. "Low information voters"... Kind of a snobby phrase but I doubt they'll even see it !

Satire is an acquired taste and I know some "Low information voters" :eyes:
that have a better handle on satire than you seem to have.

[NanceGreggs]

31. Anyone here who has read my posts ...

... knows that my appreciation for satire knows no bounds.

However, to think that the cover of the New Yorker, a widely-distributed magazine which is prominently displayed on news-stands everywhere, will "not be seen" by those who won't get it is naive at best.

[Mz Pip]

32. Sure they'll see it

It's on Drudge already. I held my nose and checked and shore nuff, there it was.

Why should the low information voters bother to read an article, with actual words and stuff when they can just see the picture on Drudge. That tells them all they need to know. And sadly, it will not tell them that they are being made fun of.

[Breeze54]

34. See? You thought what I thought. "low information voters" = Uneducated!!

:eyes:

Quite frankly, the working class barely have time to browse news stands and most discount grocery stores or Wally Marts don't even carry that mag and I rarely see anyone at my local "high end" grocery store even bothering with the book and mag section. People aren't bothering with buying mags now, from what I've observed. The only people that would even look at that mag are people with time and money on their hands. Just my opinion, of course. ;)

[Garbo 2004]

60. Most likely mass exposure medium will be TV and radio, not at the newstands. nt.

[Breeze54]

64. The original comment I replied to concerned news stands and who has time for TV in a 14 hr workday?

n/t

[JoFerret]

35. Amazing fantasy world. n/t

.

[Midlodemocrat]

71. On newstands, the New Yorker generally is sold with 1/2 page of cardboard

advertising obscuring the cover. Joe six-pack will never even see the cover unless he's looking for it.

[Duder]

20. When ya got home...

..was there smoke?

Cuz ya know what they sey. Where there's smoke....

[JeffR]

24. No smoke. But there were some Commies going through the garbage.

I had to give 'em a little 12 gauge warning.

[Ichingcarpenter]

26. LOL...... like they have the Nude Yanker at the Connivence Store in your parts

Those nudie mags are illegal in Georgia.

[JeffR]

30. I moved.

Georgia's just too damn liberal for me.

[PBS Poll-435]

39. And they lied about their average summer temperatures.

See Atlanta '96.

:grr:

[JeffR]

42. True that.

If the whole truth about Georgia ever got out there, the flag would end up with 49 stars in a heartbeat.

[Enrique]

70. go back to Georgia, pinko!

[Hawkeye-X]

76. You moved?

From where? The couch to the barclaylounger?

[PBS Poll-435]

37. ROFL - They Sell The New Yawka in Ontarioistan?

:rofl:

[JeffR]

40. Right next to Ice Fishing Monthly and 500 Easy Poutine Recipes.

Both available in French, too.;)

[PBS Poll-435]

41. Have you seen Ice Fishing Monthly's Obama cover?

The NERVE!!!

[JeffR]

43. Oh, no.

Was he swilling lattés from a thermos?

[PBS Poll-435]

44. Worse. Hot Chocolate from a styrofoam cup.

:grr:

[JeffR]

47. Damn elitist!

Bob Barr would never do that.

[PBS Poll-435]

49. Bob Barr is going to save America's soul whether they want it, or not.

:dilemma:

[JeffR]

54. And if he falters, there's always Ron Paul.

President Clinton had it wrong. Apparently we were busy building a bridge to Cloud Cuckooland, not the 21st Century.

[PBS Poll-435]

55. Can't we do both?

America has vast resources.

[JeffR]

56. We used to fight the Commies and still put a man on the moon.

We just can't multitask anymore. The Ritalin isn't helping, it seems.

[PBS Poll-435]

57. I thought the Viagra would counterbalance.

:cry:

[JeffR]

58. Big Pharma lied to us.

Hard to believe, but apparently true.

[Mira]

38. You. Cracked. Me. Up - that is so very funny. Bar '08 - unless I'm missing somthing

[CC]

45. I never knew you of all people were

such a trouble maker. (I followed a link you left from the lounge.) When does the photo group get a link with a photo? Common you can come up with one that is on topic and leads here. :)

[JeffR]

50. I love the group too much to drag my juvenile baggage in there.

Here in GDP, by contrast, it seems to fit just fine.:crazy:

[smalll]

48. Clearly, the time has come for a re-thinking of the First Amendment.

When one magazine's cover can turn an Obama romp to victory into another guaranteed Democratic presidential loss, it's high time to do away with freedom of the press.

Until we can amend the Consitution as necessary, the least we can do at this point are nationwide public book-burnings of Stewart Little, Charlotte's Web, and the Elements of Style.

[JeffR]

53. Well played!

:spray:

[sakura]

61. Cheese and Crackers! Got all muddy!

I was just at the dentist's office, waiting for my kids to get their teeth filled, and as usual, most of the magazines in the waiting room were full of liberal bias and filth. I've asked the receptionist time and time to carry something more appropriate, but she never does. They're the doctor's old magazines, she said. He's too cheap to buy new ones for the office. I definitely don't approve of his taste in reading materials! I'd take the kids elsewhere, but this is the only dentist our insurer covers. I should have brought a book, I thought.

Then I saw a magazine with the same picture my cousin mailed me last week. I always take what he writes with a grain of salt, because he's a little off the deep end, if you know what I mean, but I know for a fact that this magazine, the New Yorker, is a liberal rag. I've heard Hannity talk about it millions of times, and Susie's crazy English teacher tried to get the school library to carry it. (Thankfully, the other PTA moms and I said, "No way!" We got a subscription to Guideposts instead.)

But this magazine was carrying the same picture my cousin sent! Guess it must be true, if a liberal magazine would print the same picture. I'm so glad I found out about Obama. I was a little uneasy about voting for McCain-- my sons are age 13 and 15 and I don't want to see them drafted into a war that everyone knows was a bad idea. Plus, at times he seems, well, senile. But voting for a Muslim terrorist is even worse. And who does that Michelle Obama think she is? I think Rush was right when he called her a feminazi!

[JeffR]

62. Close call.

It's these deceptively minor things that could make our freedom-loving nation into a terrorist-run hellhole.

Keep fighting the good fight, and don't let those snotty Manhattan liberals ruin your community.

[sakura]

63. Do you know any of these people?

I do. A lot of them (not the Holy Sheeit crowd, but the confused, sometimes judgmental suburban mom) are on the fence, and this won't help. Neither will elitist jokes about them, or their grammar-challenged brethren.

[JeffR]

65. And no doubt they're all tuned into GDP tonight, right?

I'll try to be more careful, knowing that what I post here is read by, um, dozens of people.

[sakura]

66. And it will disappear tomorrow, right?

I forgot. No "journalist" looking for an angle ever reads DU. No faux news intern looking for some "data" to bolster a story about the elitist left is ever going to check in here.

Thanks for making such a cogent point.

My point, however, was about the middle class, educated, suburban mom who leans conservative, but sometimes votes democratic. We need her vote to win. And though she may not buy the New Yorker, she will find out about this cover.

[JeffR]

67. And if she's smarter than you're implying she is, and I think she is,

this won't matter worth a damn to her. Give the soccer moms a little credit.

[sakura]

68. I am one. I know my cohort.

Some are smart. Some aren't. Just like every other group, DUers included.

[jhain]

69. Ya didn't get no picture of it??

Wassa matter? Did they repo your cell phone?

[Gregorian]

72. Privatize the presidency!

Privatize the government.

Hey, if you don't vote you'll probably end up with the same thing you'd get if you did vote for Barr.

Yeah, it's hard to understand what makes the "typical" American tick. Maybe Barr is the beer we'll need to push the American drunks over the edge. Then maybe people will wake up. But I doubt it. There seems to be something in our air. The American disease.

[stellanoir]

73. You are perhaps my fave mock redneck ***EVER***

[SwampG8r]

74. dude

the duzy guy will never giveyou anything for this
its a good concept but he is more sophisticated comedically

[OwnedByFerrets]

77. LOLOLOL

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: Hey, was that satire???
