Who’d have thought that shying away from putting dead women on the cover and instead turning Vanity Fair into Tiger Beat Lite ™ would have backfired massively. In a vain attempt to illicit mixed cougar feelings of wanting to adopt and then molest the cover boy, Vanity Fair put Bieber on the cover. A bunch of you angrily s**t all over my Twitter, Facebook and the comments at the time. You no likey. Pretty much only the prepubescent fans who were out of the magazine’s demo approved of the cover. And that’s because, through no fault of their own, they blindly approve of everything. The grown women newsstand buyers and even more angry subscribers did not like this beautiful lesbian flower gracing their cover. And they voted with their feet. Making this the worst-selling cover in 12 years and, according to WWD.com, ‘one of the top three worst sellers for the magazine since Graydon Carter took over as editor in chief in 1992.’ The only two that have sold worse were Will Smith in July 1999 and Harrison Ford July 1993.
