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]
PARODY OF SATIRE
Today’s Parody of That New Yorker Cover

I call RW bias! No Colostomy bag!
I am not sure this can be called “parody.” It is too factual.
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.
pinko-commie: 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.
Look how low J-Mc’s pants hang. Maybe they’re implying that he’s full of shit.
Why oh why are these nice old white folks doing the terrorist fist jab?!
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?
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.
columnv: Why imply, when you can just come out and say it. McCain is full of shit. Much better.
columnv: Well not anymore.
I thought satire was not supposed to be, like, factually accurate.
gurukalehuru: 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.
VF is a bunch of sissies, since they’re not actually printing an issue with this cover.
Gopherit v2.0:
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!”
how cum Cindy’s not wearing a pointy WonderBra?
And to think I believed there was a level of unfunny beneath which one could not sink…
Cindy’s face should be tighter.
HAHAHAAH It’s funny because he’s old.
This ought to offend … no one.
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.
When does the next controversial New Yorker come out so that, as a nation, we can just move on?

A fist bump? Shouldn’t he be calling Cindy a cunt and using his hands to attempt to simultaneously jerk off independents and evangelicals?
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!!!!!
ronaldpagan: While he gets jerked off by a pill-popping prom queen?
It kind of looks like McCain wet on the carpet.
walnuts should be slappin’ the cunt. WASP’s don’t fist bump.
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.
SayItWithWookies: I was wondering about that, too. What IS that thing on his head? A sock? A bandage? Loose skin?
The only thing keeping him from looking exactly like Jimmy Stewart is the WALNUT CHEEKS!
Puddles of urine would have completed the portrait beautifully.
SayItWithWookies: 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
