Is there something in the water at the Beijing Youth Daily headquarters? Here’s George Bush as an anti-terrorism superhero who, along with the King of Terrorists and a Henan version of Condoleezza Rice, appears in Current Affairs, a new monthly newsmagazine for kids.
The magazine’s Chinese title, 《时事魔镜》, reads "Current Affairs Magic Mirror"; magic is apparently necessary to turn international affairs into something of interest to kids.
Joel reviews the content and concludes:
This bastard child of the Xinhua News Agency and Mad Magazine certainly has the potential to fail utterly while trying to be too hip to today’s youth, but if it succeeds, it just might be brilliant.
Personally, I’d buy it just for the ultra-cute Condi rendition.:
The style and color scheme is off though. Ms Rice tends to go for power suits and, overall, has much better fashion sense.
