What's Wrong with WSJ. Magazine Cover?

It's a businessman's fantasy: Sexy model Diana Dondoe clad only in recent editions of The Wall Street Journal that have been contoured to fit her sumptuous figure by none other than fashion bad-boy designer Roland Mouret.

Okay, so forget about the printer's ink that Diana no doubt later had to shower off will a Brillo pad and the fact that the dress couldn't be very perspiration friendly. 

What really kills the fantasy for newsroom junkies such as me is the fact that the bylines appearing on Diana's dress are outdated.  In fact, Jackie Calmes, featured on the front-page story that adorns Diana's left should (along with June Kronholtz) now writes for The New York Times and hasn't graced the pages of the Journal since June of this year.

Other discernible bylines on the cover of WSJ. magazine include:

Suzanne Craig -- precariously close to Diana's left breast.

Valerie Bauerlein and David Enrich -- folded over Diana's heart.  
(Article dated June 3, 2008 on the forced departure of Wachovia Corp. CEO G. Kennedy Thompson.)

Monica Langley, deputy Washington bureau chief --  whose bylines is punctuated by Diana's right...um....nipple.

Sarah McBride -- barely visible adorning Diana's right shoulder.

Two of the articles visible on Mouret's dress clearly focus on Democratic presidential contender Barack Obama.
