The New Cover Of Your Favorite Magazine

Ha ha, these people are funny because they named their magazine “Paranoia,” meaning they recognize that they are simply insane people with a printing press. [Reason]

    Man, you can attach Barry’s picture to anything and sell a lot of it. This is why he should be on the $1 dollar bill.

  2. columnv says at 3:54 pm, July 28th, 2008

    Does it have anything about Barry being a secret Muslim?

  3. SuperRounder: To appease these folks a $666 dollar BarryBill should be circulated.

  4. NoWireHangers says at 3:56 pm, July 28th, 2008

    But when are they going to put Barry on the cover of “High Times”?

  5. WhatTheHeck says at 4:01 pm, July 28th, 2008

    Paranoia will destroy ya.
    But first, we have to allow the government to dumb us down.

  6. NoWireHangers: Barry’s holding out for Juggs.

  7. BillyClubb says at 4:03 pm, July 28th, 2008

    With Barack Obama on the cover and a title of “Paranoia” I can tell who runs this magazine: Republicans.

  8. ReelectTilden says at 4:05 pm, July 28th, 2008

    Shouldn’t the cover be in ALL CAPS? This may be a CIA plant.

    Just because you’re paranoid don’t mean Reagan didn’t give me a raging case of AIDS.

  10. tunamelt says at 4:07 pm, July 28th, 2008

    This is like that special blend of pre-internet crazy that hands out leaflets on buses. Oh, nostalgia.

  11. WagTehGod says at 4:08 pm, July 28th, 2008

    I want to believe.

  12. Inadequate Blackmail says at 4:10 pm, July 28th, 2008

    “Fall Issue” LOL. “Display until December 2008.”

    Someone is going to be hired at a newstand, get to know everyone, move up to Assistant Manager, have a blow out with the boss and get fired all while this magazine is still sitting on the shelf.

  13. SayItWithWookies says at 4:11 pm, July 28th, 2008

    Any rag called Paranoia that only comes out quarterly is not trying.

  14. Fata Morgana says at 4:14 pm, July 28th, 2008

    Barry’s tie and the Rev’s nautical blouse are in my head, telling me to shoot up a post office and smear applesauce on my pudgy, naked ass.

  15. carerer says at 4:15 pm, July 28th, 2008

    It’s the special annual issue of the New Yorker. Like for Sport Illustrated.

  16. gurukalehuru says at 4:15 pm, July 28th, 2008

    Things I believe: AIDS is man made
    Governments lie to the people as a matter of course
    9/11 was an inside job
    Someone other than Lee Harvey Oswald shot John Kennedy
    The Kennedys killed Marilyn
    Thomas Jefferson fucked Sally Hemmings- repeatedly

    I don’t think that means I’m paranoid. I prefer to think of myself as well informed.

  17. problemwithcaring says at 4:20 pm, July 28th, 2008

    OMG - do I have to explain satire to you people? This cover is what is commonly known as a “caricature”. Subscribers of Paranoia magazine know full well that Wall Street, like Hollywood, is run by the Gay Mafia.

  18. Canuckledragger says at 4:27 pm, July 28th, 2008

    Snark? Meh! Too easy…

    Sad fact? Paranoia’s regularly closer to the truth than the NYT…

    But, hey, with all the Hope & Change & Rainbows & Unicorns, the future’s so bright, I gotta wear shades. I bought these cool wraparounds in Bono Red(tm) from the Illuminati while I was passing through Bavaria filming “The Beer Hunter.”

    My subscription to Parnoia was delivered late. Coincidence?!?!?!

  19. Is it just me or are they intimating with that photo and caption that Barry *is* “Man-Made AIDS”?

  20. PoliticalGraffiti says at 4:35 pm, July 28th, 2008

    that is totally Oprah in the background

  21. problemwithcaring says at 4:45 pm, July 28th, 2008

    PoliticalGraffiti: Oh Ok - I thought it was Tiffany from I Love New York.

  22. edgydrifter says at 5:00 pm, July 28th, 2008

    Has the good reverend been moonlighting as a bartender on the starship Enterprise? Or maybe he’s decided people will take him seriously if he delivers his “Pappy Bush concoted the AIDS in a secret lab in Reston VA” speech dressed like a Vulcan. Those fuckers are wicked logical.

  23. SuperRounder: “Man, you can attach Barry’s picture to anything and sell a lot of it. This is why he should be on the $1 dollar bill.”

    –the problem is that the $1 bill is worth like 25 cents. Oh, but if you think Zimbabwe currency that is like $25billion. And by the time you read this like $50billion

  24. jagorev says at 5:49 pm, July 28th, 2008

    SuperRounder: The “the $1 dollar bill”? Can you get one of those at an ATM machine after you enter your PIN number?

  25. jagorev: The sad thing is, the way “ATM” and “PIN” get popularly used, that’s exactly right.

    Ah, Whitey Streiber and Mind Control….the purrrfect black veep to “Too White” Barry Osama…and he writes, too!

    Check this:

    “Human beings are not that simple, and the visitors certainly aren’t.

    I think that their society is a lot more complex than ours, and ours is hardly good or evil. Human life is all shadings in between. Are your friends and family good or evil? Or, how about you? Have you never done anything evil? I know I have, and I doubt that there is a single human being alive over the age of ten or so without similar regrets.

    But it gets even more complicated.”

    Meh!
