I'm sure you've all seen the cover of the latest "New Yorker." Of course a lot of people are upset about it. While slightly offensive, it is becoming increasingly obvious that it is hard to take a joke in this election campaign. Sadly it is a perfect image of satire, but without an article to go along with it, it is completely out of context. It would've made a better picture inside the magazine than on the cover. Gladly, Obama seems to have brushed it off without much concern for the misguided outrage that has been set off.

Does an article follow in the magazine? I think it is a good piece of satire because it is simply outrageous, however, without an article discussing how the (uh) "messed up" stereotypes are absolutely preposterous it is hard to see it as productive satire and it seems more like a fox news "Top Story."
