Forget that it's a great cover, forget that it was done by one of the greatest cartoonists of our day, forget that it's, in many ways, more accurate than most of the reporting going on out there.
Nope, they have to reject it just because it makes all corporations, and the financial system itself, look pretty bad. BOO-HOO.
You know, I just don't think Fortune Magazine has enough of a sense of irony to have gone with that cover. Hell, clearly, they can't even take a joke. A blunt, powerful and devistatingly accurate, joke.
My favorite part has to be the "Milton Friedman Paycheck Advance." If you don't know who Friedman is/was, Google him. To some he was a high priest of finance who developed a sort of Bible for the way the entire planet should do money, to others he was a fear mongering money magician who indirectly caused the oppression of millions and the deaths of who knows how many.
