We were surprised to see the cover of today’s New York Post, which features “borrowed” (ahem) images of our beloved spies beneath the poorly-Photoshopped heads of Barack Obama and Vladimir Putin. We were surprised for two reasons: 1) We didn’t expect to see such a blatant rip-off of our October issue’s cover on every newsstand in New York, and 2) from an editorial standpoint, we didn’t think News Corp would have much problem with illicit snooping. Regardless, we congratulate the Post on its excellent cover — and we look forward to its Alfred E. Neuman/Duck Dynasty cover, probably coming soon!
