When Humor Goes Really *Really* Wrong
I understand what they were trying to do (I think), but really?

Peej says:
And if I understand what they are attempting to do (I think), then it’s quite possibly the stupidest attempt at political satire I’ve see in a very long time, even if its intent is to deflect and dimiss the stereotypes and accusations being thrown Obama’s way. It’s like a MAD magazine cover gone horribly wrong, except I think that’s probably insulting to MAD magazine in this case.

Just listened to the New Yorker editor defend it on NPR, and I’m pretty sure that he accused folks who objected to it of being “elitist”.
The stupid. It burns.

Those who object are elitist, and those who don’t get what the new yorker was trying to do are stupid. Win-win!

Hee. The New Yorker is accusing its critics of being elitist. The world has gone mad!
