Apparently in an effort to transform her magazine “Rosie” into something “edgier,” Rosie O’Donnell told editors she wanted covers featuring boxer and convicted rapist Mike Tyson, parent-killer Lyle Menendez, and actor/murder suspect Robert Blake.
You can’t make this stuff up, people.
That’s pretty edgy.
Curiosity to know your opinion prompts me to ask — would it be noteworthy if those pictures appeared on the cover of Time or perhaps Newsweek (along with the stories/interviews I’d assume would go with them). Is it the sharp contrast betweeh the soft, fuzzy image of women’s magazines or Rosie O’Donnel herself and these three that makes this seem peculiar? (It seems odd to me, too, and I’m pondering WHY).
Sherri: Yes, I think it’s funny that Rosie would suggest those covers for her magazine, which used to be McCall’s. Did she want to cover the Arab/Isaeli conflict too?
I’m not arguing that is does seem funny, I’m just making guesses as to what she really wanted. I mean, yes, “Rosie” aka McCalls was a light-n-fuzzy magazine, and Rosie is typically a light-n-fuzzy personality, but what I’m trying to work out is why it’s funny that someone in the light-n-fuzzy business should try to handle some serious subject — you’ve got me pondering the underlying assumptions that create the humor.
It’s your own fault, you know, Adam. You’re always making me think.
Well, the thing is, none of the cover people Rosie suggested are even remotely relevant to the present time. It’s less, “Let’s tackle the big stories” than “I have a curious fascination with second-string ne’er-do-wells from a previous decade”.
Mark — THAT makes sense. Thank you :>
