The top magazine covers came by no suprise to me. With the top magazine having an image of the stars of Twilight, just shows that our society is going through a vampire craze I personally am hoping will end soon. Then there was the cover of this big burger that Texas must have been proud of. Yes it looks good and I am sure it made many people want to go get one after they saw that cover, but is a burger the best thing that Texas should be proud of?
I personally don't think that Marge on the cover of Playboy should have been recognized as one of the top magazine covers, but I understand why it was. Being able to link a show that has been around now for over 20 years that is enjoyed by many people, including families, to Playboy is huge. The cover might not have been that appealing with Marge just sitting in a Playboy chair, but the fact that a mother with two children and a husband is sitting in a Playboy chair makes a difference.
My favorite magazine cover I would have to say is the one with the fat Statue of Liberty. I personally just like the caption that is under it. "It's worse than you think. How to beat obesity." I just think this cover is showing one of the true sides of America and the caption fits in perfectly on how we view obesity. As a nation we are recognizing more and more people becoming obese and the rate of obesity in children is growing, yet not many people seem to be doing that much about it. Then we have all of these advertisements out there on how to lose weight, the perfect weightloss plan, the magic pill that will help you lose weight (but you still have to excersise), and then there is surgery. I'm not sure if we will ever be able to beat obesity, but the advertisement and drug companies are sure trying to get people to believe that losing weight is a lot easier than it appears.
