I subscribe to The New Yorker and I didn't think it was that big of a deal. I guess someone will always find offense with something.

I'm unfamiliar with The New Yorker... and even though I now know that it's not a serious magazine, I still think that they went a bit overboard.

Actually, the New Yorker is quite a serious magazine, it just tends to be filled with a lot of opinionated articles. When they said "satire is what we do" they meant in their cartoons.

I thought it was pretty funny actually. It wasn't calling Obama a terrorist. It was making fun of the people who think Obama is a terrorist.
