so basically you negate its justification for printing (you know "hey dont worry america, people are certainly not stupid enough to take it seriously"😉 the irony is so thick and juicy...like my penis.

i love how people try to draw parallels between other highly publicised political satire against bush or maccain when there are none. desperate people who would cry and kick and scream if it was done to their infallable heros who piss rainbows and shit pure sunshine. a running theme of idiocy. (yes this means you so dont ask)
Actually feature films like Fahrenheit 9/11 and music videos like "Mosh" came out about Bush, and they were downright attacks, not even satirical.
It does seem a bit hypocritical for people to be up in arms about this thing, which is really just satire.

If you ignore intent, you will not understand the similarities or differences. Also, if someone does not want to see something, they will not.

yeah, or you're wrong and bush was not depicted as a secret islamic flag burning terrorist. but the fact stands anyway that many people (yourself included) are too stupid to understand that this piece was intended to be a satirical jab at american paranoia and racism.
😆 Thanks for giving an example of my point. You are missing the big picture; intent is everything.
no it isnt 'everything'. there is also responsibility and good taste. the new yorker should have contemplated their move well before executing and they obviously didnt. they banked on the idea that people are intelligent and would 'get it'.
trying to drag in a documentary which criticizes george bush based on his job performance proves nothing. yes people get criticized all the time. sometimes that criticism is unfair even. however being baselessly labeled as a terrorist and enemy of the state, intentional or not, is irresponsible and not the same as someone critiquing your lord and savior bush.
just more of your right wing apologist diluting of the topic im afraid.

Please apply this standard to everyone, including Bush.
BTW I'm not right wing. I used to be a Democrat until Dean. Now I'm independent. If I look right wing to you it is only because you are far left wing.

Also, people saying that it is aimed at Obama, seem to misunderstand the message.On a different note, this one is way better, funnier, sadder, truer and importanter, then again, it is from the best magazine in existence.
What magasine is that, and where can I get it?
