I am so glad that I cancelled my membership with this magazine back in the '90s. Garrison Keillor was correct when he said,

"The New Yorker used to be a writers' magazine and it was very important to me. But under Tina Brown's editorship, it's been transformed into a magazine driven by gossip. It's not a writer's magazine any moreit's all about 'buzz' now."—GK

My friend showed me this last night. I was appalled.

I am outraged. It puts more thoughts in people's head that, not only Obama is a Muslim (which he is not), but that he is a terrorist. Grrrrr.

'outraged' thats what my friend said as well. I'm not even American, but I know the implications of the picture. And its not like I dont get satire (hello? my country pretty much invented it) but some things are just in poor taste.
