A Decade Of Terrible Puns
If you go by the New York Post's selection of its best front pages of the decade, we ushered in The Nads with the 9/11 terrorist attacks and ushered them out with the revelation that an illustrious linksman banged a bunch of broads. Unnoted in the review of the past ten years: the bit of prognostication to your left, and the classic "Benedict Jeffords," which brought us all so much hope for new EIC Col Allan's tenure. Going over this list, a couple of things stand out: 1) It's weird to think that it was only in this decade that full-color front pages became standard, and 2) Wow, what an absolutely horrible ten years it has been.
I would've gone with Kerry's Hero
I saw this link and thought "If 'Furious George' doesn't make the cut, I'm going to go ape-shit." Thank you, NY Post!
Awful decade, shitty NYPost covers. The "wood" used to have some actual news value mixed in with the wordplay, didn't it? And the wordplay was sometimes clever instead of being constantly stupid, bigoted, clumsy and/or based on wingnut talking points. Ugh.
BUT: Make Col Allen weep by voting for #44, the weirdly polite Obama inauguration front page. (Nice try getting in on the "sell historic copies of the paper on Obama Day, fucktard!)
Or #8, the UN Weasels cover, to point out how wrong they were to jump on that bandwagon.
