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.

LOL @ that really dumb song and now you have me hearing that yelling part. Whitlock also referenced the tatted up culture and asked why we're not outraged at that.

It's funny because Vogue hit the nail on the head whereas other attempts at controversy/attention fsometimes fail miserably. Think Nas and Kelis. People vaguely remember their attempt but the best they got was worst dressed list and THE GAS FACE. They should've gone with imagery versus the blatant "look of me."
