Comedy website Something Awful have a load of photoshopped reverse magazines that PZ Myers pointed out. A “reverse magazine” is the process of taking a well known magazine (New Scientist etc) and rewording the title / front cover so it covers exactly the opposite of what it should. There are quite a few religion / belief based ones which I found amusing.

1. New Scientist to Old Scientist, with the great science behind Flat Earth. Alas the last gathering of online Flat Earthers (or FE’rs as they liked to be called) have abandoned ship, but their website and forums can still be viewed in the Wayback Machine.

2. Scientific American to Unscientific American, featuring interviews with Ken Ham and the jailbird Kent Hovind, as well as proof that the Grand Canyon formed in a couple of days during the flood!

3. Out becomes In, the openly gay magazine becomes the magazine of in-the-closet homosexuals, including Tom Cruise, and of course the fag-hating Phelps family.

4. From the masters of illogical persuasion comes Sophism…for men, with articles on Evolution, the 9/11 “conspiracy”, and of course the ultimate proof of God: Pascal’s Wager.

5. Finally we reach the Islamic worlds version of Vanity Fair, the aptly named Modesty Fair. Find out why having even a little hair showing can lead men to gang rape you, and why you must be submissive slaves to your husband!

Since we haven’t had a poll for a while, I thought this might be a good opportunity. So, given the chance, which of the above magazines would you subscribe to?
