I find the girl on the cover of the new Adbusters magazine to be very attractive. The format of this months magazine is a half and half split like they do to Mangas sometimes. Flipping it upside down is like switching to a whole different magazine. Half of the pages are oriented one way, the other half are inverted the other way, so it is like two separate magazines with two different covers meeting in the center. On the back cover is a young guy looking out the window of an old retro school bus with dull orange bench seats and that typical grey-green school bus interior paint. The day is sunny and the cover is bright. On the front cover is a young woman with dark hair and long black bangs almost in her eyes riding in the interior of a very plush looking bus. She has her knees up on the seat in front of her and a cell phone in her hand. It is much darker. Both people are sitting alone and gazing out the window, eyes glazed, lost in thought. I think the guy represents a slower paced natural life, family based, globally aware etc. He is the good one.  The dark girl represents the modern kid, TV reared, consumer oriented and all the other things Adbusters pounds on monthly. They should have chosen a different representative though. She’s looks too cute and intelligent for the dark side. Maybe I’m just a sucker for that spaced-out, introspective look. I’m probably missing the point, I haven’t started to read it yet, just a quick skim.

  1. Oh, the yummy chocolate books you’ve been delving into lately! I’m a sucker for girls from the dark side too. I keep trying to remind myself that a Jedi craves not those things…
