PARODY OF SATIRE

July 22, 2008

Today’s Parody of That New Yorker Cover

by Ken Layne  

Collect all 100 TOPPS parodies of the New Yorker cover.Oh look, another one of these things. Today’s parody cartoon of the the poorly received satirical New Yorker cartoon shows Cindy McCain “cradling” a bunch of Rx pills she “adopted” from the “Dope Factory,” while Walnuts staggers along on his Old Man Walker, and there’s what’s his name, Dubya Bush Jr., on the wall, oh and what’s that in the fireplace? Why, it’s the Constitution. But that’s cool because it’s actually RON PAUL HOLDING THE CONSTITUTION. [Vanity Fair]

I call RW bias! No Colostomy bag!

pinko-commie July 22, 2008 at 5:29 pm

I am not sure this can be called “parody.” It is too factual.

slavojzizek July 22, 2008 at 5:31 pm

This just sucks. They should have McCain trussed up, yelling ‘take me back to ‘Nam’, you cunt trollope!’ at his dominatrix wife, while Megan has a threeway with Heidi and Spencer in the background.

God, it looks like he’s wearing adult pampers.

El Bombastico July 22, 2008 at 5:33 pm

[re=41620]pinko-commie[/re]: Yes, it would have been nice if they had included just ONE incorrect characterization. As for the adult Pampers, as someone on Gawker pointed out, there appear to be puddles of liquid on the rug, so that’s out.

columnv July 22, 2008 at 5:34 pm

Look how low J-Mc’s pants hang. Maybe they’re implying that he’s full of shit.

The Station Manager July 22, 2008 at 5:35 pm

Why oh why are these nice old white folks doing the terrorist fist jab?!

SayItWithWookies July 22, 2008 at 5:37 pm

What is that thing on top of McCain’s head? Some sort of medical fastener that keeps his face from sliding off his head like cheese off a too-hot pizza?

Gopherit v2.0 July 22, 2008 at 5:39 pm

I like this one better.

And the New Yorker cover was irony, because it was so far off from reality, not
a parody like this.

pinko-commie July 22, 2008 at 5:39 pm

[re=41626]columnv[/re]: Why imply, when you can just come out and say it. McCain is full of shit. Much better.

bhosp July 22, 2008 at 5:40 pm

[re=41626]columnv[/re]: Well not anymore.

gurukalehuru July 22, 2008 at 5:41 pm

I thought satire was not supposed to be, like, factually accurate.

Gopherit v2.0 July 22, 2008 at 5:48 pm

[re=41637]gurukalehuru[/re]: maybe it’s satire in the same sense as The Daily Show…..you know, 95% true and you don’t know whether to laugh or cry.

Godless Liberal * July 22, 2008 at 5:54 pm

VF is a bunch of sissies, since they’re not actually printing an issue with this cover.

And then again there is always this one: http://www.dailynews.com/opinions

He should be standing at the window shouting “GET OFF MY LAWN!”

mrtrailsafety July 22, 2008 at 5:59 pm

how cum Cindy’s not wearing a pointy WonderBra?

Fata Morgana July 22, 2008 at 6:04 pm

And to think I believed there was a level of unfunny beneath which one could not sink…

cal July 22, 2008 at 6:09 pm

Cindy’s face should be tighter.

Tawmn July 22, 2008 at 6:28 pm

HAHAHAAH It’s funny because he’s old.

lumpenprole July 22, 2008 at 6:31 pm

This ought to offend … no one.

ronaldpagan July 22, 2008 at 6:48 pm

This isn’t funny. They should have had Johnny as a crazy, homeless, amputee, junkie Vietnam vet suffering from PTSD, and Carol as a tragic crippled little match girl, and they were both on opposite sides of the Iraq-Pakistan border (to signify the insurmountable gulf between them that destroyed their marriage). Now that would have been poignant.

The Incomparable Tiny Valdez July 22, 2008 at 6:54 pm

When does the next controversial New Yorker come out so that, as a nation, we can just move on?

Fata Morgana July 22, 2008 at 6:58 pm

SuperRounder July 22, 2008 at 6:59 pm

A fist bump? Shouldn’t he be calling Cindy a cunt and using his hands to attempt to simultaneously jerk off independents and evangelicals?

Oscar Folsom Cleveland July 22, 2008 at 7:06 pm

It’s Diana from “V: The Series” again, sucking the very life force out of Walnuts! by using the deadly outer space lizard flipper jab! Oh NO!!!!!

Gopherit v2.0 July 22, 2008 at 7:30 pm

[re=41697]ronaldpagan[/re]: While he gets jerked off by a pill-popping prom queen?

DP July 23, 2008 at 12:17 am

It kind of looks like McCain wet on the carpet.

nougatmaster July 23, 2008 at 1:23 am

walnuts should be slappin’ the cunt. WASP’s don’t fist bump.

queerbubbles July 23, 2008 at 8:31 am

See, this doesnt count at satire… its true. The Obama thing was at least false. Cindy and her pills? True. WALNUTS and his face bandage? True. Being old and decripid? True.

sanantonerose July 23, 2008 at 9:30 am

[re=41630]SayItWithWookies[/re]: I was wondering about that, too. What IS that thing on his head? A sock? A bandage? Loose skin?

hardcorepops July 23, 2008 at 9:39 am

The only thing keeping him from looking exactly like Jimmy Stewart is the WALNUT CHEEKS!

Puddles of urine would have completed the portrait beautifully.

The Neoskeptic July 23, 2008 at 10:43 am

[re=41630]SayItWithWookies[/re]: those are bandages hold his body together cause he had lotsa cancer cause he’s old and he’s actually been dead since late 2006
