1. They use a template for their covers, that 2007 cover is the default template and the designer just forgot to change it (or did make changes but they saved wrong) and because it was a two year old cover nobody up the line noticed.
Or
2. That 2007 cover sold a shitload of copies and they are so desperate for increased newsstand revenue they figured that they would re-run it.
is it me or are straight men the WORST liars? Some sense of entitlement where they actually believe they can make something false true just by saying it?
Oh! Hey! Gawker! Call on me! Vanity Fair's circulation back office is in Boone, Iowa, which was buried under a blizzard yesterday. No one went to work yesterday, and only a handful did today. (I earned 15 community college credits in Boone in the late 90s and never, ever, ever thought Boone would make Gawker. It's Mamie Doud Eisenhower's birthplace, you know!)
GW is having a breakdown? Nan Darien has finally snapped, taken a KPMG droid in a polyester suit hostage? Ed Coaster spilled his Venti Blanton's on the computer? (oh that roguish Uncle Ed)
Maybe the glare from Meryl's forehead focused for an instant on one of their auxiliary propane storage cannisters, causing a devastating explosion that ripped one whole side off of the building!
@TheUptightMidwesterner: As one uptight-ex-midwesterner (minnesota no less) I take that as the highest of compliments coming from another uptight midwestern. (are you really in the midwest?)
@TheUptightMidwesterner: heart you fellow minnesotan. I'm trapped in the evils of NYC (which I kinda love), but I threaten to move back every two months
@miss_msry: I'm sorry, but I don't accept answers phrased in the form of a question. All answers must be submitted in the form of a prepositional phrase.
I used to work on several of those books in the dear, dim past. E & P did exceptional reporting, and Adweek was quite the lively and informative read, as well-written as any consumer book. Blessings on the E & P and Kirkus people, and good luck to everyone else under the new owners. Stay safe.
