The Daily Mail of London reports on the front cover of the new 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.

Yep. That’s pretty bad.

The Daily Mail reports:

The journal swears it is horrified by the coincidence.

“We didn’t know until the issue landed on our desks,” Nature pleaded to the media. “It just goes to show that editorial and advertising aren’t working in cahoots.”
