Stupid brouhaha of the week

Michelle Obama is on the cover of Newsweek this week. No big deal - she's easy on the eyes, and she's fighting childhood obesity so it's all good.



But look closely at that apple on the table in front of her. There's an image there. Is it Jesus? Charles Darwin? Grigory Rasputin? A guy from ZZ Top? Karl Marx?

Surely there must be some hidden message. Some say it's Karl Marx. Looks more like Darwin to me. But it can't be innocent. It must be some kind of conspiracy.

Oh, I know!! It's the Ayatollah Khomeini!!

Actually, I think the conspiracy nuts will be very disappointed when they find out that it's really James Garfield.

That's not made it over the Atlantic yet, so this is the first time I've seen it - do you have a closer pic of the apple?

Daniel, in that bigger picture the image on the apple is clearer. And I think it has to be the guy from ZZ Top.

It's photoshopped.

The latest copy of Newsweek we just got in the mail does not show anything that looks like a face in the apple.

it's more fun to imagine that it's Benjamin Harrison or Victor Hugo or John Brown.

I'm utterly speechless that THIS would be an issue for anybody, photoshopped or not. OMG!!!! Michelle Obama has a face on an apple on NEWSWEEK!!!!! OMG!!!!! RAGE!!!! Impeach OBAMA!!!!

Really though, what could possibly be the issue here and who would be getting upset over a vague face on an apple? The world just confuses me sometimes.

If some woman in Wisconsin can have Jesus on her refrigerator, why can't Michelle Obama have Rasputin on her apple?
