I know Americans are insular, but this takes the biscuit. Here are the covers of Time magazine from around the world this week.
Across the planet, the cover story is The Truth About Talibanistan, a gruesome story on the rise of religious fundamentalism in Pakistan. Except in the US, where the cover story is The Case for Teaching The Bible.
Thanks to Memex 1.1 for the pointer.
This is excellent. I wonder if the thought even crossed their minds that sooner or later someone will put three and one together and post something like this …
Well, _Time_ makes no secret of the different editions, they use the set of covers as a navigation menu.
For me it was about the irony of globally warning about the danger of religious fundamentalism while at home justifying it.
