Because The New Yorker Fist Bump Cover was Such a Good Idea
Parody is the highest form of flattery
 

Vanity Fair is no stranger when it comes to cover story controversies. When Graydon Carter's "downstairs neighbors" at The New Yorker got in trouble for their satiric cover with Barack and Michelle doing some terrorist fist bumping in the Oval Office, Vanity Fair was right there with a parody of their own to lessen the tension.

Since then, the NYer cover (they did it as a goof!) has been subject of several more artist mock-ups, ostensibly to show America how silly it is to have gotten its feathers all ruffled over that one silly cover, when John McCain and Sarah Palin are out there right now essentially putting that sentiment into words.

But since there will always be new and exciting ways to mimic other magazine covers, Vanity Fair figured they had one good push left in them.

Two anti-McCain covers so close together? Careful VF, people might start thinking you cater to the super-rich celebrity elite.

In other news: that guy who's been doing the Dexter campaign for Showtime must be getting tons of work lately.
