Someone deserves an ASME...

Whoever designed this cover deserves an f'ing ASME (American Society of Magazine Editors) best cover award. Brilliant, immediate, provocative, and insightful all at once. Clear communication in a double-take. Kudos!

Is there missing context? Was the left-half of the image ("Screwed") previously used on a story about rising unemployment?

Yeah, I saw this on a bus and didn't get it either. I didn't connect it to the kid's ad at all and wondered what the heck it meant.

I understand the concept, but not knowing who this person is or not having any other contextual background it really doesn't convey anything to me.
