Did Time mag. put Devil Horns on Rev. Billy Graham? Some think so.


http://www.onenewsnow.com/2007/08/perspectives_billy_graham_with.php

Is Billy Graham the devil incarnate? That's how he is portrayed by the appalling cover of the August 20 edition of TIME, which shows the distinguished evangelist with horns.

The cover superimposes Graham, arguably America's most well-known preacher, over the TIME logo, and positioned so that the peaks of the "M" appear as horns coming out of his head. (H/T to Mark Finkelstein of NewsBusters.) The sophomoric design stunt appears to be the editor's mea culpa for running a generally positive portrayal of Graham inside the magazine.

If this is a dupe the mods can nuke it.

Man you really hafta be careful these days not to piss off certain folks.

2. People must work real hard, stay up all night ( and I suppose stupid pill
might be involved)to come up with this stuff. I'd never think a thing of that picture. Maybe I don't have enough imagination.

5. I noticed it
when I pulled it out of the mail box. But I didn't give it any more thought, until reading this thread.

18. I missed it for a moment
even though I knew I was looking for devil horns. I don't think it was an intentional act to place his image just so that it would look like he had horns.

3. Those aren't devil horns...
...they're Batman ears! The editor obviously thinks Graham is a superhero with a keen theme song!

:sarcasm:

19. OMG! You should have given an early AM barf warning! One I can take but
all of them? Yikes! I wonder if that is the work of one schizophrenic photographer who really sees Shrub as an Angelic figure?

20. You do realize that every time I will think of Billy Graham, I'll have that visual image
in my head? lol!

Several years ago, I had a similar thing with John Ashcroft. I mentioned to someone thst Ashcroft probably wore a bustiere under his suits (ala Robert Vaughn in SOB) and damn it, I gave myself that visual of him. So much to the extent, that when I think of Ashcoft, I envision him in such! :)

13. They are still citing him and he complains?
This is just more culture of victimization and egregious self-promotion. Porn, wrestling, religion, talk radio-they all do it.

15. It's just the way he combs his hair.
Edited on Tue Aug-21-07 07:21 AM by Lint Head
He has wavy hair. The same idiots that see Jesus and Mary in burnt toast see horns on Billy Graham. The placement of the letter M is coincidental. It's the only way to center him on the page. That is unless you want the T to look like the cross sticking out of his head. :dem:
