Devil horns

This is last week's news, but are you going to tell me that Time's layout editor didn't say to himself (or herself), "Hey, devil horns! Nobody can prove malice on our part -- we can just say they're paranoid -- and it'll sort of fun to piss off the religious-right nut fringe."

Postnote: HE reader "SaveFarris" pointed out a while ago that Time did this before to Bill Clinton, with a link to prove it.

It's a shame they were actually courting the religious right a while back, by endorsing prayer in schools.

There's a lot of that going around. Take a look at the cover of the current Esquire, which seems to suggest that Sean Penn is the most beautiful woman in America.

For the record, I am personally inclined to say that he is not.

I know the layout editor gets paid to see things better than I do, but really, I had no idea what the problem was until it was pointed out. This is kinda ridiculous, especially since I would guess (and I haven't read the piece) the article/interview is probably incredibly positive as a whole.

I'm pretty sure they're saying he's Catwoman.

Good thing they didn't "accidentally" do that to a muslim cleric. Half the planet would be on fire right now.

I agree with Walter. The sunday New York Times magazine had a cover story on religion, politics and Islam. Very, very interesting.

I saw a reader's digest yesterday at the grocery store checkout line which implied that Ben stiller is reading our emails o.O

if any of you think those two little tips just slipped through without ANYBODY noting it, you don't know your mainstream media.

i always have a soft spot for billy because he's not your tyical holy roller and mainly because ofthis incredible interview:

My first thought was Batman. And since Time is part of Time/Warner, who is releasing Dark Knight, I'm going to consider this some very subversive advertising for their own product.

Besides, Graham's not the devil. That was Falwell, who just died and is hopefully being raked over the coals right now for all his sins against humanity and real Christians.
