Which cover do you like?

You may have noticed our print cover this week: A Jack Russell terrier named Roux is digging her teeth deep into a Michael Vick jersey.
No. 7. Get it? 2007? Well, I thought it was a witty idea.
Roux, who’s owned and trained by my friend Melissa Nunnink, actually was Staff Photographer Joeff Davis’ second model for the cover shoot. The first was Bella, a pit bull whose time was volunteered by former CL staffer Noah Gardenswartz.
Here’s the layout we gussied up for Bella. We liked both shots, but I wanted to show folks Bella to let you decide whether we picked the right photo. And also, well, because she’s kinda cute — doncha think? And, looking into Bella’s noble pose … doesn’t it make you even more sick that Michael Vick would pick on pit bulls?

Do it like the cover of National Lampoon where they said “buy this magazine or we’ll kill this dog.” Then you could kill the dog and put it on YouTube. Cool, huh? Let me know if you need more keen marketing ideas!

It may be logistically impossible to prop this shot I have in my head. But perhaps have both dogs clamped tightly, wildly swinging from the descended sack of MV7 might be a better photo. I know press time is already here, but just a suggestion should you still have time to represss the cover.

Vick actually wanted to pose for that shot but they wouldn’t let him leave the state of Virginia.

I prefer the Jack Russell, unless the pit was photographed in a Hummer with some bling, a blunt with a hottie or two and a caption that read ” My lawyer got this for me from Mike Vick, call and see what he can do for you! 1-800-Lawy-Yerz”.
BTW, you know you are racist and anti-gay for publishing the cover to begin with, right?….. hahahahahaha.
