Listen to Ann Coulter whine about her Time photo
It was pretty unflattering :D

http://mediamatters.org/items/200504200003

Coulter claimed "elongated funhouse photo" of her on cover of Time proves media's liberal bias

Though she acknowledged, "I haven't read the article," right-wing pundit Ann Coulter claimed that the "elongated funhouse photo" of her on the cover of the April 25 edition of Time magazine would ease the concerns of those "worried that the influence of Fox News would start a mainstream-media lovefest with conservatives." She continued: "For 20 years, we kept hearing, 'Oh, no, the media isn't liberal. They're not liberal. They're just trying to sell newspapers, just trying to sell newspapers.' ... apparently, Time magazine is willing to sell fewer magazines in order to run an unflattering photo of a conservative."

1. The better photo was the unretouched one of her horse-toothed...
jackass face. Having sex with her would be bestiality.

5. Ann Coulter, more concerned about her photo than
the fact that the article showed that Time Magazine had their lips superglued to her bigoted, racist white ass!

6. Beauty is skin deep but her kind of ugly goes to the bone.
The camera captured her true self.

7. A funhouse photo for a circus freak; seems appropriate to me
Edited on Wed Apr-20-05 05:01 PM by Enraged_Ape
I noticed that the TIME photographer covered up her horrifyingly freakish man-hands, which will give even the most strong-hearted person nightmares and send small children running into the streets screaming.

Seems like they did okay by old Anne.

8. No photo on Earth can show how ugly she is on the inside.
She really is a blight on the American culture, such that it is. :puke:

11. Freakhouse photo...
is more apt. Annorexic Coulter actually DOES look like that. It's got more sharp angles than a stealth fighter. If one was to pass their hand over it, anywhere, it would draw blood.

Maybe Ann the man just noticed that it's a human skeleton. There isn't a photographer in the world that could take a flattering picture of it.

12. maybe it's true what some people say --
maybe Ann Coulter really is just a comedian. Because that's one of the funniest things I've heard in a while.

Perhaps she should have gone to Sears to have her photo taken and insisted that Time run an approved "glamour shot". "My God, we need more Vaseline for the lens -- one jar isn't enough!"

That would have insured against Her Beauteous-ness being sabotaged by some art director who was secretly part of a full frontal attack on conservatism itself.

Jeezus, I sure wish I could claim to be the victim of a vast political conspiracy whenever I see an unflattering photo of myself.

15. Her "elongated funhouse photo" isn't so much the problem
as much as it is her elongated funhouse physique.

16. and one other thing, Ann
that's WHAT YOU FREAKIN LOOK LIKE.

Everyone understands when they are looking at a deliberately distorted photo. No one REALLY thinks your feet are that big in relation to your head. We've all seen this type of fish eye distortion to know that's what we are looking at here. When people see these kinds of images, like a reflection in a Christmas bulb or gazing ball, they understand they are looking at a graphic distortion, that someone was trying to be "edgy", and our brains can automatically correct for this phenomenon.

We've all seen you flapping your gums on the teevee, we actually understand that this image has a deliberately distorted perspective -- (like some pundits.)

The only thing that's being revealed now is pathological insecurity.

23. check out the NY Daily News:
Time mag shoots- Ann Coulter snaps

Human Uzi Ann Coulter is on the cover of this week's Time magazine, and author John Cloud's profile of "Ms. Right" is largely sympathetic.

But yesterday, the best-selling conservative firebrand had blood in her eyes and venom on her tongue over cover photographer Platon's off-putting wideangle-lens portrait.

"Kim Jong Il was treated better," Coulter raged in an E-mail. "A CURVED-LENS PHOTO ON THE COVER? Just amazing. My feet are the size of the Atlantic Ocean and my head the size of a pea."

Time executive editor Priscilla Painton replied: "There are a lot of women who would kill for those legs."

But Coulter demanded: "Why are liberals so afraid to show conservatives as they are? Why is it always 'paraphrasals' of our points, and '60 Minutes' edits, and curved lens/fun-house photos?

"Needless to say, I'm not going to read it," Coulter insisted - though maybe she's having the piece read to her. "If they can't show a picture of me without distorting it, they're not going to quote me without distorting me."

Actually, Ann, I thought the piece was fair and balanced.

24. "There are a lot of women who would kill for those legs."
Yeah, kill their mothers for passing along those defective genes :7

Incidentally, Coulter thinks she's so smart. Why didn't she request to have the final approval of the pic on the cover? Time mag is hardly a liberal mag, that's why, and she thought she was "safe."

Poster child for middle-aged anorexia.

mug shot was darkened for the Time cover. Somehow I think not.

28. You are on the cover of "Time", Annie. I'm pissed about THAT!!
It's not like you're particularly "special" or "better" or "more deserving" or "more valuable" than the majority of Americans who work a helluva lot harder to simply EARN subsistence and existence in this country, let alone have the rare good fortune of being acknowledged on the cover of and have an article published in Time magazine!!!

You are a mean, vicious, hurtful, self-centered/involved, hateful, divisive woman.

You DON'T DESERVE to be on the cover of or have an article written about you in Time magazine or any decent, American-LOVING publication for that matter.

So, stop your bitching!!!

35. The Funniest Thing Is The Photo Looks Like Edith Ann
A stoopid little girl in a too bug chair spewing nonsense. I think that is the biggest fucking slam. Yet she is concerned about the size of her feet? Fuck you with your $250 shoes Ann.
