The New Cover Of Your Favorite Magazine

by Jim Newell  3:50 pm July 28, 2008

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.

columnv July 28, 2008 at 3:54 pm

Does it have anything about Barry being a secret Muslim?

Q2 July 28, 2008 at 3:55 pm

[re=45722]SuperRounder[/re]: To appease these folks a $666 dollar BarryBill should be circulated.

NoWireHangers July 28, 2008 at 3:56 pm

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

WhatTheHeck July 28, 2008 at 4:01 pm

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

FMA July 28, 2008 at 4:03 pm

[re=45727]NoWireHangers[/re]: Barry’s holding out for Juggs.

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

ReelectTilden July 28, 2008 at 4:05 pm

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.

tunamelt July 28, 2008 at 4:07 pm

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

WagTehGod July 28, 2008 at 4:08 pm

I want to believe.

Inadequate Blackmail July 28, 2008 at 4:10 pm

“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.

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

Fata Morgana July 28, 2008 at 4:14 pm

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.

carerer July 28, 2008 at 4:15 pm

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

gurukalehuru July 28, 2008 at 4:15 pm

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.

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.

Canuckledragger July 28, 2008 at 4:27 pm

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?!?!?!

AxmxZ July 28, 2008 at 4:29 pm

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

PoliticalGraffiti July 28, 2008 at 4:35 pm

that is totally Oprah in the background

problemwithcaring July 28, 2008 at 4:45 pm

[re=45833]PoliticalGraffiti[/re]: Oh Ok – I thought it was Tiffany from I Love New York.

edgydrifter July 28, 2008 at 5:00 pm

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.

[re=45722]SuperRounder[/re]: “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

jagorev July 28, 2008 at 5:49 pm

[re=45722]SuperRounder[/re]: The “the $1 dollar bill”? Can you get one of those at an ATM machine after you enter your PIN number?

AxmxZ July 28, 2008 at 7:10 pm

[re=45995]jagorev[/re]: 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!

http://www.unknowncountry.com/

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!
