Bag’s Take-Away:
The emasculation of Wall Street? I don’t believe it for a second. Rather, the gratuitous snap “taking it in the shorts” feels more like New York Mag…
1. over-empathizing with the 1%-ers and those luxury goods advertisers. (Is there a shoe and suit credit on an inside page, btw?)

Here come the OWS covers. NY Mag’s “Sucks To Be Us” cover features demoralized youth, the hyper-modern motif of the human billboard/protest sign and the play on Arab Spring with the dual Stars-and-Stripes and keffiyeh neck accessories.

Upcoming NYT Magazine catalyzing media love affair with the Libyan rebels. This photo from the VII Network, in particular, drives home the symbolism of the “citizen-warrior.”

(photo: Eric Bouvet/VII Network, for The New York Times caption: The anti-Qaddafi forces were composed of both civilians and some ex-soldiers no longer loyal to the regime. slideshow here.:
