1. *lol* I haven't watched the Faux Freakout, but I LOVED that cover!
Hairy upper lip, wrinkles - in other words, a more real picture of a real woman than we've seen since she was selected.
They should have taken it from a different angle though; we didn't see any nose hairs *snort*

3. What a crock of whiney bullshit. I've seen Obama covers that looked unretouched...
...showed slight whiskers and pores (he's still beautiful, IMO).

I think this whole flap is just rediculous. Some people just WANT to be offended and are looking for things to be offended about. It's a sign of INSECURITY. Considering that little miss porcelain pitbull is pathetically unqualified for the job of VP of the US - I guess it's understandable - but really, these people need to get OVER themselves.

4. I saw this on Princess Sparkle Pony's
Photo Blog earlier. Guess the mainstream media decided not to use the filter Sarah was whining about.

5. Can't retouch her soul, though
The cover, although I haven't seen it other than in this video, makes for a great metaphor. From the initial view, she looks pretty. As you get closer..... not so pretty afterall.

12. Naah! just FOX's lame attempt to sell the mag.
they know that their perverted male foxbots are going to jump out of their couch and rush to the news stands to buy it and then use it repeatedly and vigorously in the privacy of their bathrooms. just another lame ploy at bumping circulation so that newsweek can say how popular Sarah Palin is. I urge everyone NOT to buy that copy!

The ugliest part of Sara Palin is her mind. :evilgrin:

16. I'm sorry, but only women
would even consider this an issue. I saw the cover and it never occurred to me there was any wrong with it other that it was of Sarah Palin. This ain't Bravo TV. Who the fuck cares if she has blemishes? I mean, come on!

29. You are SOOOOOOOO right!!
I mean, "only women" would care about this, so that means 2 things: 1. women don't matter, because they are only like 51% of the population, and stupid as hell to boot! and 2. they're stupid as hell and only care about stupid shit like their appearance, which, as any MAN could tell you, doesn't affect their careers, earnings, family lives, social status, or cultural perception. And, none of us burly MEN ever said anything about women's appearances that would suggest WE care about that shit!

Jesus, why don't women just shut the fuck up already???

So, what's the problem?

20. Do ANY of these look retouched?








I see wrinkles, moles, dark circles and all kind of stuff on this man. And it doesn't make one DAMN bit of difference.

At least it's not Palin's staff coming up with this idiotic mess but this dumb ass "Republican strategist." That heffa needs to get a LIFE and a real job.

22. Phony Retards!!
Hell, I was offended when I saw the cover yesterday afternoon at my doctors office and here's why. Failin has done nothing to deserve the honor of gracing any major publications cover period!

32. All the more reason
to ignore faux. What a complete joke of a network. I hope Jon Stewart does a parody of this 'controversy'.
