Vanity Fair: The 'nobody cares' issue

Ok, so you know how normally there is tons of bru-ha-ha over the Vanity Fair cover? Which celeb is going to be on it? Which media story or scandal will they break? Who's on drugs, getting molested, puking, naked, or (if we're lucky) all of the above?

April Fool's Day totally went over our heads this month — and do you know why? No, not because we're oblivious navel gazing morons. Because we hadn't seen May's Vanity Fair splashed all over the place like Angelina Jolie's prego belly tattoo.

We were just blindly scouring the internet for something to care about, and bam, there was May's cover in all its "Green Issue" glory. The not so much talked about Leonardo DiCaprio cover? Nope. Total over exposure of George Clooney? Absolutely.



The May cover features a quartet of eco–power players, capturing Hollywood glamour and activist passion: Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Al Gore, Julia Roberts, and George Clooney, photographed by Annie Leibovitz. Articles inside address the pressing environmental issues of the day: Mark Hertsgaard reports on the reality of global warming; Michael Shnayerson writes on the Appalachian mountaintop-mining crisis; and a Green Guide offers up 50 simple things you can do in your daily life to help save the planet.
Snooze! We don't know ... maybe we were just staring at our belly-buttons for so long (they really are so pretty) that we completely missed any coverage that may have taken place. But we have a pretty solid feeling this might make the "lowest selling issue of the year" list.

2. "Nobody cares", eh?

"Nobody cares" if the icecaps are melting.
"Nobody cares" that oil is running out.
"Nobody cares" if Bush sells our national forests to the lumber companies.
"Nobody cares" that Repukes are promoting superstition over science.

"Nobody cares". Shit. What a bunch of dicks. They should chain their latte drinking, basic black wearing, elitist asses to their favorite Manhattan sushi bar until the sea level rises enough to drown them.

10. no kidding - I'll buy it for the cover alone.

Clooney, Gore, RFK jr - I'm there!

[Synnical]

9. Please, please edit your OP - I almost didn't click on it

Because it just mentioned celebs, this is an important issue of Vanity Fair and the fact that the Wingnuts "jossips" want to make a low selling issues is way funny.

Recommended all the same. And I'm off to bed. The change in time is screwing with my sleep schedule.

Thanks for the post!

I did think about that, but it's too late now. :(

14. I Love Everybody

15. jossip has confused VF with its own asinine website, methinks.

[Joe Fields]

16. Pardon me, but did I read that you said, "Nobody cares."?

That's a pretty callow assumption on your part.

[crispini]

17. WOW! I need to get that.

Looks great!
