Title: The New Yorker's BBM Cover Chosen as 'Best News Cover'
Post by: Lynne on October 24, 2006, 11:33:53 pm

The American Society of Magazine Editors has chosen The New Yorker's Brokeback Mountain parody cover to be 'Best News Cover':

"In this year’s competition, another New Yorker cover was chosen in the category of best news cover: a depiction of Vice President Dick Cheney and President Bush as cowboys, alluding to the movie “Brokeback Mountain.” On that cover, published in the Feb. 27 issue, Mr. Cheney, who had recently shot and injured a friend in the face in a hunting accident, is seen blowing the smoke from the tip of his shotgun barrel. The cover was drawn by Mark Ulriksen."

That is wonderful, that cover was such a hoot when it came out.

Is it me or do others detect a rise in BBM consciousness the past few days?

I've noticed it too. I thought it was because I went to Wyoming last weekend. Suddenly, BBM seems to be everywhere!
