i am always impressed by how shitty Bloomberg Business covers are
are you sure because this one is incredible
Oh my god you guys don’t even understand, I got a free subscription to this and for a whole year I have read nothing except the cover trail feature where they explain how they came up with their fucking covers, it is the only thing I care about
Look at this shit:
I can’t find my favorite though, because my absolute favorite was the one that was just five different steps of MORE BEARS culminating in this real actual cover
WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF PROFESSIONAL HIGH-PAID GRAPHIC DESIGN
I used to get Bloomberg Businessweek at work because I was Subscription Manager, so everything came to my name and then I’d pass it on to whoever’s job it was to read it in our research office. I frequently stole the covers for a rotating exhibit of What The Fuck.
This is one of my favorites, because it’s funny in the abstract but funnier if you realize this is literally the outgoing and incoming CEO of Goldman Sachs, one of the giants of global finance.

But my absolute favorite which hung on my cubicle wall for literal years was the Figurine Orgy cover.
Tony. Tony what are you doing to Belle. I mean, I can see what you’re doing to Belle, but I don’t think it’s wise.

These include Iron Man lifting Belle over his head with his face in the crotch of her dress, Mr. Potato Head looking disheveled with Jasmin and Ariel, and Elsa lying on the fur with Optimus Prime, among others.]
