I think most people who looked at the posted cover figured it HAD to be a satire. Even a dying waste of paper like Sports Illustrated wouldn't sink this low, would they. But there you go - - it's for real. Apparently they figured they could cash in on Gore's Oscar.
Joke's on them, the scumbags.
When I saw it posted here I thought it must be a hack. Nope. Too bad. Idiocy.
