Variety has new cover story about Yahoo, and the cover image is quite a doozy! The front and center image is a drawing of Marissa Mayer holding up a large wooden "Y," that looks disturbingly like a cross. So Mayer is Jesus, I guess? The headline reads "The end is nigh."
If that isn't weird enough, Yahoo issued a similarly cryptic response to the headline. The company said "Running that cover illustration is Variety's own burden to bear."
What the hey does that mean?
Is it a cry for help? A promise? A threat? Perhaps, and just perhaps, this message wasn't really meant for us.

Sorry. I left out the hspace qualifier in the img statement.
Just don’t publish a cartoon of Mo...
Well, the Y obviously stands for Yahoo, and there is a saying that goes “A cross to bear” is a well known idiom. So it just looks like an editorial comment connecting the two.
I thought it was meant to be a Y chromosome. (Doesn’t make it less sacrilegious, just a bit broader).
There ya go, using common sense. How are we supposed to get all riled up with righteous anger when you're doing that? :-)
If Marissa Mayer self-identifies as Jesus, she can now use the men’s restroom.
Obviously meant to be a cross. They would never dare do this with any religion other than Christian.
Marissa Mayer will get $55 million severance package.
The symbology in that picture is a broken cross. I would say it represents Christianity being broken/destroyed. Skull may represent a dead Christian.
