As featured on page 61 of Rolling Stone's 1000th issue, CNN has a full-page advertisement for its silver medal, Anderson Cooper. Keeping with the magazine's "hip" context, we're treated to Coop's playlist: along with the Arcade Fire and Arctic Monkeys, Anderson enjoys the Scissor Sisters and a bossa nova cover of Joy Division's "Love Will Tear Us Apart." And then there's that "Nature Boy" track.

It's obvious that CNN isn't even trying anymore — why not just add Streisand and the Pet Shop Boys to the list?
