Is This an Easter Miracle?

First the Shroud of Turin dress, and now, this?

Michelle_Obama__cover_Newsweek_obesity_children___promote_health_wellness_American_communities

Have you seen Lady M on the cover of Newsweek? She’s talking about her No Child's Fat Behind program again. But that’s not why I’m bringing this up.

I’m just wondering; is it just because I spend my life reflecting things that I immediately thought: WTH is that reflection in the apple? Is it Leo Tolstoy? KSM? Karl Marx? Muhammad? ( I sure hope not, I understand we’re not supposed to reproduce his image, period.) Are those horns spouting from the top of his head? Where did they get this evil apple, from the Tea Partiers? Raj said it really did look like the Shroud of Turin to him, but what would he know – he’s a Buddhist.

If it is Karl Marx, some right wing nut is probably going to say it has something to do with indoctrinating the children in our schools or something: “feed your children well”? What were they thinking?

You would think, with all the little people we employ around here, that this sort of PR disaster would never happen. And doesn’t Newsweek hire editors anymore?

I’m going to take some aspirin, get a glass wax and have Raj check to make sure my lens are in focus. It’s going to be a long week.

  1. Why would they impose an image on an apple? This is so strange, but with this administration, should we be surprised? However, I wonder if somebody at the magazine did this to 'liven' up the image. Is this supposed to go into our brain and make us want to follow this man? Is this a conspiracy? If so, what side is responsible?

    So many questions; so few answers....

  2. OMG, it's an apparition....

    I'd say it looks like Rasputin!

    ….this is too easy:

    ..the Commander in Chief will let it be known that Michelle Obama was just TOO overly enthusiastic about helping her subjects and worked behind the scenes to force passage of his healthcare bill; as she holds no actual government position, the Commander in Chief will decide to allow her to perform penance by giving her an official public service job:

    POTUS will give her a captain’s commission in the US Navy……thereby allowing Michelle to take command of the USS Cowpens, as she is the only one who can live up to the previous captain’s legacy:

    Oooops,

    it was from HILLBUZZ, not No Quarter:

  5. I saw that image and, what with my cold and all, thought of the Smith Brothers. Or could it be a salute to ZZ Top? "She's got legs. She knows how to use 'em..."

    I'm so over Newsweek. They're not fit to line the bottom of my birdie's cage. Is anyone still buying mags with that face front and center? Her fight against obesity should start with that roll right behind the apple.

  6. Breeze..I agree, it's Rasputin. On an apple!
    Notify the Inquirer immediately!!

    They photo-shopped the shadow she cast on the table. They made her waist on her left side smaller. Sham, fake, bogus, yadda, yadda.

  7. It's totally Karl Marx. Maybe it's an editorial comment from the cover layout designer person. "Help! I'm a conservative trapped at Newsweek!"

    ReplyDelete

  8. Breeze, I also called up Rasputin! Could the ghost of Rasputin be whispering in the night to our Tsaritsa Meshill in her ill-advised, wrong headed course?

    Then again it could indeed be ZZ Top.

  9. MO is the epitome of "I-I-me-me mine," so I am thinking it could be George Harrison looking for his record label.

    And what is that thing crawling up her arm? It looks like a slug.

  10. Over at hillbuzz they're saying it's Karl Marx. So who knows. No matter who it is, it's bizarre that Newsweek chose to do that.
    http://hillbuzz.org/2010/03/16/why-is-there-a-picture-of-karl-marx-hidden-on-this-apple-in-the-latest-newsweek-cover-of-our-fashion-icon-first-lady/

    I long ago quit reading Newsweek because they were just one in a long string of supposedly 'unbiased' sources of information that typically only give the left's point of view. And as for mags with MO or BO on the front, never again! Guess I'll be snuggled up with FR and a few other online sites for a long time.

  11. I agree about News"weak" and Times too.

    But that article about the female Captain of
    the Cowpen seems to me to describe TheFirstFatty
    to a 'T', if she would ever be in such a position.....

    ReplyDelete

  12. I am more concerned that she's letting her "angry eyebrows" grow back in.

    srdem,

    I tried the other suggestions, but I seem to
    come back to Rasputin everytime.

    Now, we know that TheFirstFatty is a big (if
    not the biggest) influence on TheLighbringer.

    So, who is HER biggest influence? Her very
    own RASPUTIN?

    The answer to that may solve a lot of mysteries
    for us....

  14. I know enough to know this was no mistake. Kudos to the one who did this. They will be out of a job by noon today.

  16. Wow... maybe is Karl... I just thought about the witch in Snow White... you the poison apple!!

  17. The Obama's do seem to be having trouble with photographs, don't they? The NY Times puts them in crosses, their own WH chooses terrible optics for them, now this.

    ReplyDelete

  18. I'm sorry to report (or maybe not) that after I broke this big story, Newsweek cropped the original cover to eliminate the apple,table top and elbows. Perhaps because you can tell that Lady M's waist shadow had been photo-shopped as well.

    And while I can certainly see the resemblance to Rasputin, and like the theory since he, too, was either a prophet or a flimflam man, I'm currently leaning towards the ZZ Top theory. Wasn't their picture on those "Zig-Zag" papers you made funny cigarettes with?

    Nostradamus is certainly a good long shot, though.

    All I know for sure is that Mrs. P is right about someone packing their knapsack about now. But somehow this will be counted as another dozen jobs saved or created.

  19. Well, I notice that the First Fatty's got her massive birthing hips, saggy pouch, and gigantic trunk hidden behind a huge piece of furniture!

    King Barry the Smoker and First Fatty of the Bitterland!

    Who are they to tell anyone how to live?

    Hypocrites indeed!

    I will never acknowledge Michelle as First Lady because, in NO sense of the word, is she even remotely a lady.

    She is the First Fatty, First Bitter Half, First Lecturer, First Phony, First Fake,
    First Hypocrite, First Money Waster, First Muffin Top, First Whatever ...

    Never the First Lady.

  20. MOTUS! Were you up to some mischief on that photo shoot? I'm sensing a familiar pattern...but you know when it comes to the O's I usually do look for hanky-panky...not that I would accuse you of any sabotage...

    ReplyDelete

  21. Never a lady, indeed. She's the Fat, Fat Czar.

    ReplyDelete

  22. MOTUS, Do you want to know the part of Snow White I always wondered about?

    Whatever became of the mirror.


    I'm guessing we're all about to find out...

  23. I read that Tom Hanks is complaining about Karl Rove's book. Notice that Tom has nothing to say about Karl MARX's book.

    Anyway, don't you think the First Slob's nails need to be trimmed? They look a bit low-rent.

    Here are comparison shots of Laura Bush vs. the First Slob disembarking from Air Force One.

    Laura, though casually dressed, looks regal, while Michelle looks like a nasty slob.

    You have to scroll down a bit for the pics.

  26. Anonymous ~ I just saw that photo at the Grocery Store Meeting or whatever it was called! I had to hide my eyes and just peek at the side view, you know, like you do at a horror movie. OMG - I mean, words escape me!

    I have never seen a skirt? Is it a skirt? Or pants that look this bad on someone and what is with them becoming bra extensions? That a new fashion in D.C.? Bra extension pants?

  27. When I looked at the image in the apple, I thought I saw a crown on his head. Made me think of the guy who plays the king in the Burger King commercial. Could this be a subliminal message? She'd rather have a double double whopper, extra large fries, and a triple sized milk shake!

    I know a number of people post as anonymous, but this is my first post. Sorry for any confusion.

    ReplyDelete

  28. Oh my! Go to ap photos for a full on back-side image of grocery store get up. I'm speechless.

    ReplyDelete

  29. Evidently it's 90 degrees outside, sleeveless and wearing linen. And here I thought the East Coast was still freezing and having storms.

    They just can't find enough fabric to make a skirt big enough to cover that butt. Every single skirt and/or pant she wears pulls across the ginormous hips and ass. There's no other explanation other than she thinks it's sexy instead of understanding how tacky it is. I see the wighat has been shampooed...finally.

    BTW, MOTUS, I read that you're going to
    Me-He-Co. I hope they send the US Army and the Marines along with you. We don't want you or Big (R) MO kidnapped by those nasty drug cartels who seem to be in charge of the entire country. You know, The Dear Reader would loot the treasury (oh, sorry...nothing there now)...well, at least mortgage the mansion (mmmm, or not) and Big White to rescue the two of you. Be careful. Maybe you can opt out and stay home (I hope).

  30. I googled Karl Marx/pictures and the one I pulled up and posted at No Quarter looks just like the one on the apple.

  31. Moright you're right! Speechless about does it for me too after seeing the back end of that dress!

    I can say 1 thought came to mind but it was very, very, very uncharitable....

  32. Oh come on, Funky, say it!

  33. I think I solved the mystery of who's on the apple. In today's Boston Globe is a pic of John Brown, the Civil-War-era abolitionist. It looks amazingly like the face on MO's apple. But that's a strange choice if someone's playing a joke.
