Poorly-Timed Cover Story Headline of the Day

At a time when Lebanon is literally being blown apart as Hezbollah and Israel wage a battle apparently no one can end, the new issue of TimeOut New York features the not-quite-appropriate cover headline of the day "The War for Brooklyn: Whose Side Are You On?"...about gentrification in Gowanus.

The issue also refers to comedian Martin Short as "a weapon of mass destruction." (Which isn't offensive so much as it is inane.)

Make sure to check out next week's issue of TimeOut New York when the magazine proclaims the rise in Bugaboo Strollers "A horrifying, all-out assault on The Upper East Side."

Man, I loved Ed Grimley. Martin Short is a weapon of mass hilarity!

There was actually a short letter from the editor in that issue addressing the poor choice of verbiage - I think they designed the cover before the shit hit the fan. It's on the inside cover or the first 2 pages.

But seriously - those Bugaboos! Could they be more terrifying?!
