Spanish mag skewers Obama’s “manhood”

Back in September we wondered if there was such a concept as “bad” satire. “Are some topics a little too sensitive to make fun of? Can some humor go too far?” we asked.

We cannot help but contemplate those issues after viewing the following cover from Spanish magazine El Jueves:In the caricature, the well-endowed Obama asks people to “look at the ‘pendulum’ and repeat after me: all is well. All is very well.”

El Jueves specializes in satire and has been notorious for making fun of all sorts of authority figures. This has often gotten the magazine in trouble such as the uproar last year involving a caricature of the Prince of Asturias cavorting with his wife.

So what do you think of the controversial cover? Racist, humorous, or who cares?
