Disgusting Newsweek Cover Photoshops 'Diana at 50.'

Disgusting Tina Brown wouldn't know news from a nipple slip.

Newsweek's 'Diana at 50' cover: Shocking, brilliant or just plain cheap?

Had she lived, Princess Diana would have celebrated her 50th birthday this coming Friday. Ever ponder how things might have turned out for the people's princess had that fatal 1997 car crash never happened? Newsweek's Tina Brown has ever-so-kindly tried her hand at taking some of the guesswork out of that equation.

The rather jarring cover features an imaginary present-day Diana strolling with the daughter-in-law she never knew: An age-projected photo illustration of Di is digitally superimposed at the side of the former Kate Middleton, the commoner who married Prince William, emerging from Westminster Abbey in April as Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge.

While many fans were imagining the high glamour and higher emotion Diana's presence would've brought to the royal wedding, the cover and accompanying story takes it bigger, imagining one version of where she would be today.

1. Who gives a fuck....

[stevenleser]

2. I honestly don't see what the big deal is. The story is an interesting concept.

So, some people dont like the picture. Its just not that big of a deal, not compared with unemployment, the wars, etc.

3. Tina Brown has turned Newsweek into the Weekly World News.

17. For "People" or "US", maybe. And THEN only maybe.

4. I agree with the majority of posters at Newsweek.

Tacky and tasteless.

[nadinbrzezinski]

6. Intersting and also scary use of photoshop

7. They made her look more like 70. Her face and neck, anyway. n/t

[KT2000]

8. creepy thing to do

got it in the mail and turned it over - just too weird.
I don't understand the purpose of it at all.
And to have Kate looking at her???

[jmowreader]

11. They had nothing else to put in their magazine, you see...

and the American people are just in love with British royalty.

And what a shitty job of placing Diana in the picture--it looks like someone cut her out with scissors and glued her to a photograph. Ya need to slightly fuzz the edges up to make it look real.

9. I agree, it is disgusting, it is not news, it is fantasy.

and they should have published it in some other mag.

[ebayfool]

10. What? 50 isn't disgusting. The hat, on the oyher hand ... n/t

[WinkyDink]

18. It isn't "50" that is the point of criticism.

Jeez. Tone-deaf.

[Smarmie Doofus]

12. Not nearly as disgusting as this:

Whats a nipple slip?

[trumad]

15. I hope they're not going for a drive.

[WinkyDink]

19. Oh, har-de-har.

[trumad]

20. Tabloid'ism makes me write shit like that.

I don't mind tabloids---the kind that are in the check out line---

BUT Newsweek? ---hence the number one problem with the "new" MSM.

They not cater to the lizard brains.

[WinkyDink]

16. Disgusting cover, in more ways than one. This is NEWSweek???
