i am amused by the coincidental cover choice ... but that's it. i wouldn't place that as news. (i'm criticizing the newsite for making a report on it, not mitzuzake for posting it at plime.)

would have been funnier if the dog ad on the back was about spaying and neutering pets.

What a hilarious coincidence. I love that both of them look completely clueless and confused... And then you see the back cover! Ha!

The dogs strike eerily similar poses to Barack Obama, the first black American presidential candidate for a major political party, and his Republican rival John McCain, tanned golden brown from the Arizona sun.
Okay, I see that the images definitely resemble one another. They are not, however, posed at all similarly.

Heh...nose prints...

I love it when ads are scrutinized for news worthy meaning. Just so funny.

I don't really see a problem with that, I think it's funny.

People who find this sort of thing offensive annoy me.
