    I was wondering if maybe he borrowed Doc Brown's Delorean and went back in time to stop Selena's parents from ever meeting at the Enchantment Under the Sea dance.

    Must be, because mine has it. Right above the mug, just as Ballard's and Taylor's were in the previous two issues.

    But while we're talking about the caricatures mugs ... yeesh. Not a fan of that idea.

    The b/w pixellated pics weren't so bad...but these new ones look like something from a budget bar mitzvah.

    whatever. if SI came calling nobody on this board would turn them down. what a joke. if those who can't make it simply complain this board is full of people going nowhere.

    We're journalists. We already know we're going nowhere.

    You can call it complaining, I call it harsh but fair criticism of a publication that was once the benchmark in this business. Maybe you haven't been reading SI for 20 years and therefore don't find these mistakes alarming. You're the exception.

    Just curious - for what will you write coherently?

    No, I'm just sick of getting on here and seeing people incessantly bitch. It would be great to see all the people on this board taking digs at other writers, publications and companies try and pool their collective hatred into something worthwhile ... like discovering a way to breathe new life into this business.

    I think you bitching about other people bitching would make great copy for page one. When can the photog stop by your mom's basement to take the picture? Industry, revitalized!

    Just tell the photog I'll be in your mom's basement -- and by basement I mean ass.
