“Well, obviously, another story that’s important enough to run on the cover of the paper, but not, you know, sexy enough to move any copies and not so serious that a little T&A, or at least a little A, won’t turn off the readers. So, like, maybe if the Observer decides to run a piece on that Cherry Pit place down in Duncanville but decides none of the swingers are attractive enough to entice the folks looking for something to thumb through while scarfing down a half-caf, triple-whipped latte. And OMG, you guys–they totally aren’t! Oh, and another copy of Buns of Steel.”
Zac, I love you, but I will be so glad when Christmas is over…just to escaped this concept on the blog…
I hope that D Magazine will consider this for best cover for an alternative newspaper in Dallas.
I was thrilled to find out it is a “scratch and sniff”.
I think the art director overdid the PhotoShopping. Seriously, how could anyone’s legs be that far apart at the crotch? Don’t most people’s butt cheeks meet in the middle?
That wasn’t their only butt shot. There was one in the article about Carol Reed (http://news.dallasobserver.com/photoGallery/index.php?id=828357&p=1). Even though there’s a Republican tat Photoshopped in, I don’t think the picture is of Carol.
*Why* am I even contributing to this thread?
