I first saw the cover and it made me think of that song "Tatted Up" where guy is just randomly screaming/singing/yelling. I looked at the cover and thought the same thing: Why is he just yelling?
Then, I took in the whole picture and immediately saw the allusion to King Kong. I wanted to get angry, but then I realized that Vogue was milking the public for every ounce of publicity they could ever desire and more. I don't even read Vogue, but I know all about this "controversial" issue. So do the morning show radio DJs, sports talk analysts, and other media outlets. Mission accomplished.
