"fly-over" America and NY Lampoon

I'm posting this diary to provide emails to the New Yorker and its advertisers.  They are included below the fold...Yea, Yea, I know...this has been discussed ad nauseum

Ad nauseam (not "ad nauseum") is a Latin term used to describe something that has been continuing "to the point of nausea. For example "This topic has been discussed ad nauseam"; it has been discussed extensively and everyone is tired of it.
Defined as such by the American Heritage Dictionary et al.

Argumentum ad nauseam or argument from repetition or argumentum ad infinitum is an argument made repeatedly (possibly by different people) until nobody cares to discuss it anymore. This may sometimes, but not always, be a form of proof by assertion.

but please bear with me.  In addition, for those of us who can't access the current diary because of its size, or have just now got wind of this story, I think we need another venue to express views.  The current rec'd diary completely pulled my computer into "lockdown" due to the size.

Many on the other diary http://www.dailykos.com/... have have suggested those of us in "fly-over" America just don't get this.  We don't seen the humor, the satire, etc. because we must not be educated enough to get it, or we are not used to reading the witty New Yorker, or we don't understand freedom of speech or...it goes on and on.  In some ways, I find that as insulting as the so-called "lampoon" cover.  The fact of the matter is, we do get it.  We get it...we don't, however, have to like it or accept it.

I think this is an outrageous example of the media's belief that they can say or do anything in the name of freedom.  If this "cartoon" had been embedded with a story discussing the rumors, then that might have been acceptable.  This however, is not.

I'm sick of hearing about how "unbiased" the New Yorker is. How etheral it is....This cover goes way over the bounds of satire.  Are we going to get a cover from the New Yorker portraying McCain in a similar light?  If so, I'm sure some of the Kos readers can suggest some colorful images and I hope they do so.  

One theme of this campaign has been "the world is watching"...Yes they are and this image is not what we want anyone to be seeing.  

I'm finished with the New Yorker; I will never read it again.  Why?  Well, heck...I'm just from Mid-America...I guess I don't really get it.

In the mean time, please join my be emailing and contacting the The New Yorker and let them know your opinion; no matter what YOU think of the cover, let them know by expressing your freedom of speech.
