Daily Kos: STUNNING: Comparing U.S. & World Covers for TIME Magazine
Yes, what you see is TIME devoting its cover in international markets to a critical moment in Egypt's revolution – perhaps the most important global story this week – while offering Americans the chance to contemplate their collective navels…
Also, while we're on the topic of navels, there is nothing STUNNING about this story unless it's the STUNNING cluelessness of whoever wrote its headline. But this is YA hot internet trend, isn't it, writing AWESOME, OUTRAGEOUS, AMAZING, HILARIOUS, and — best of all — NAKED headlines that have nothing much to do with the story they refer to. If anything. Not that we are entirely INNOCENT ourselves, of course. But we are trying to do better.
