I read that the cover on the left is a fake.

I would hope so...do you remember the link?

Edit: Hmm, I checked a bunch of coverage of it and it seems to be the real deal.

Not fake. Saw unsold copies all over newsstands.

Thanks for that hiss. I saw ecib and cgods conversation and I was looking online for evidence of it's authenticity or forgery and couldn't find much convincing in either way. I had a hard time believing that that was the best image people with iPhones could come up with. As we know here, a phone can create some bad ass images. That said, any publication worth its salt should have photographers on staff.
