Is Time Magazine trying to make sublimal suggestions about its recent coverboy the Reverend Billy Graham? The question comes from none other than celebrity gossip website TMZ.com.
“Rev. Billy Graham’s cover photo for Time magazine is innocent enough in and of itself,” the site notes, “but when you look at it superimposed over the Time logo, it looks like someone drew devil’s horns on him.”
Perhaps, the site surmises, someone at the magazine was trying to pass judgement on the “Pastor to Power” in the same way Graham once cited AIDS as a “judgement from God”–a statement, the site points out, that was not included in the cover story, but which, the site fails to report, Graham vehemently retracted.
Personally, I think TMZ is trying a little too hard to see what they want to see. I mean, it’s beyond obvious that those are meant to be horse ears and not devil horns. Someone needs to get their glasses checked.
Take the Reverend Graham Rorschach test and see for yourself.

HAHAHAHHA! I get Time, and I didn’t even notice that at all. Way to be subliminal, Time magazine. I haven’t read the story yet, but you can bet I will now after work.

They can’t be serious! To begin with they are out of position for a side shoot of photography. It would if planned show ignorance on the part of the perportrator. Such ignorance should be fired since they know nothing of their job. I personally do not take the time and can’t say I like the Magazine. Leans too far left for my taste. Don’t like politics in my news or as “Friday” used to say,”Just the facts ,maam;just the facts”.My only copmment,somebody is reading something where it doesn’t exist.

How shameful. Someone has to stoop so low as to poke fun at one of the most holy men of our world. Not even the Popes measure up to Billy Graham. May God bless Rev. Billy Graham.

How foolish of Martha Smith SOlomon to call Billy Graham a holy man–he is a man full of holes, as have we all, and his son is a man full of holes. Jesus X was a holy man, Billy Graham is NoT Jesus.
