Tiger Beat for dorks

Completely slipping our minds, we thought we'd share a "Newsweek" moment with you from earlier in the week.

When the latest issue arrived after the Iowa caucus, Kimberly gleefully giggled at the cover of her boyfriend and exclaimed that she would "Hang it in her locker at work like a Tiger Beat cover."
Upon further inspection of the January 14th issue, namely referring to page 29, Chris replied that he would do the same if he had a locker with the picture of one of HIS boyfriends:


And lo, as a result a hearty guffaw was enjoyed by all.

Little did we know, that the side-splitting website The Onion beat us to our own humor MONTHS ago! It surely must have been subliminal. Observe:

Barack Obama "Tiger Beat" Cover Clinches Slumber Party Vote
June 19, 2007 Issue 43•25

WASHINGTON, DC—According to a poll released Monday by Teen Zogby!, both Barack Obama's approval and dreaminess ratings among slumber party–attending tweens have risen to 82 percent following last week's publication of the Tiger Beat cover pictorial "Hangin' With Barack!"

"Barack is sooooo hot!" said 12-year-old Tiger Beat subscriber Beth Majors upon reading the issue, which included a "supercute" poster of Obama leaning against the Lincoln Memorial and an interview in which he revealed that his most inspirational hero is "you." "He so totally has my support. Obama in '08!"

Obama is expected to remain a solid favorite with the giggling-and-talking-until-4 a.m. voting bloc, as hunky war hero John McCain, his closest contender, is widely considered by the slumber party demographic to be a gross dork.
