Going to the dogs: How Nature magazine featured Obama and McCain ... with an unfortunate ad on the back

Has the American presidential campaign gone to the dogs?

One could be forgiven for thinking so after seeing the latest issue of Nature magazine.

The world's leading scientific journal has featured a powerful image of John McCain and Barack Obama on its front cover. The pair radiate statesmanlike-authority, the image is suitably sombre for the weighty interview inside.

Then, however, you see the back cover.

In an unfortunate choice, advertisers placed there an image of two labrador pups - one black, one golden, in an uncanny mirror image of the grave image on the front.

The dogs strike eerily similar poses to Barack Obama, the first black American presidential candidate for a major political party, and his Republican rival John McCain, tanned golden brown from the Arizona sun.

1. What a strange juxtaposition. I cannot help but wonder if it was intentional, or someone

is going to get fired for that...

5. I hope you're kidding.

[Dollface]

2. The yellow lab even has a white muzzle. LOL

[melody]

3. That has to be intentional

Look at the wash on McCain's face. He hasn't had that much color since 1973 ... and it's the same color as the dog.

[lumpy]

7. McCain's sallow yellowish complexion is probably from

poor liver function. Too many meds, perhaps.

[melody]

9. He's not sallow. Altho he may have a ton of makeup

Egyptian #5, I think they call it.

Still, it's a very similar shade to the dog's.

4. Those aren't Lab pups. nt

6. Tanned golden brown by the AZ sun? How about spraypainted oranger than an Oompa-LOompa?

[melody]

10. He is Oompa-esque in that

Good catch.

[Pirate Smile]

8. LOL

:rofl:

11. They got McCain's good side.

Fortunately Obama doesn't have a bad side. All his sides are yummy!

12. Why does a scientific journal have the candidates on its cover?
