Design the cover of the first issue of "The Dee Youer" magazine.
Open your photoshop or paint program, and design a cover for our satirical magazine.

Rules:
1) Submissions and viewers must have a sense of humor.
2) No past flame war from any part of DU is immune from being satirized.
3) You must do some photoshopping or painting on your cover--some form of art.
4) Try to avoid calling out DUers by name, especially those lacking a sense of humor, so that our thread doesn't get locked.

We'll hold a vote on the best cover if we get enough submissions, much like the photo group does of their photos...say, on Saturday night, July 19.

Here's my submission, to get the contest started. :P
