I know someone started a thread about New York Post covers but I don’t know how to search the sandbox
anyhow today’s is a classic

give up the funk

(a) sub-par Simpsons reference inappropriate to audience
(b) blunt cut-and-paste aesthetic is good choice, but they still could have lined up heads better
(c) headline accuracy is basically 0%
(d) thread I started on this topic forever findable via unique term “increadingly”
(e) gotta have that funk
water on mars!
(f) linguistic side-question: doesn’t the term “surrender” suggest that you’re actually surrendering a thing, like land or soldiers? not that i want this kind of specificity from the Post — it would be really pointless then — and not that you can’t call people “surrender monkeys” in theory, like as assessments of their character, having nothing to do with the situation in progress, but ... you know, abandoning a military offensive is just “giving up,” and ceasing to lend troops to what you claim as a sovereign democratic government is just, like, “cutting aid.”
cheese eaters wear mouse ears!


are all editorial cartoonists completely idiotic?
(c) headline accuracy is basically 0%
the combination of ballsy audacity and wild inaccuracy gives the very best Post covers that special “wtf” quality
also it’s totally a basement jaxx video

also, your fave pundit weighs in on “Operation Surrender”, referring to 1939 Poland in the 2nd sentence, before ejecting the premise entirely by the fourth paragraph to spend to the rest of the column ranting on about Matt Lauer questioning Bush about torture, an event that happened three months ago.
The final sentence of the column proposes that we ask “our new friends Iran & Syria” about their torture methods, apparently forgetting the fact that we’ve been flying folks over to Syria to be tortured for the last 5 years. But hey, why let shit like that get in the way?
I read this headline as containing a comma that it doesn’t.
SURRENDER, MONKEYS
Which makes exactly the same amount of sense as the intended meaning, actually.
isn’t the new york post the one owned by moonies?
No, it’s owned by Rupert Murdoch.
The Moonies own the Washington Times.
No wonder the administration is in such a shambles what with Baker sliding around the place with his big nametag on sneaking up on people and handing them backwards memos.
fun with the NY Post breathlessly reporting on its own “shocking”/“provactive” front page.
