anyway, that mag cover is simultaneously horrific and hilarious... or horrilarious, if you will.

I think it's probably safe to assume that SLOG in general is NSFW.

really i'm just complaining about huge titties on my monitor when I just loaded up the slog.

Last week Poland (the two twins are its president and foreign ministere) objected to a new constitution of Europe because Poland felt small nations like Poland should have voting power disproportionate to their population relative to larger states like Germany; they pointed out the Polish population would be much larger if Germany had not killed so many people in the Second World War. This violated a tabu, caused news sensation, but in the end they compromised.
So this magazine is referring to the twins' agreement to subordinate Poland to Europe (I believe it says ?Mother Europe," perhaps?) and perhaps is criticizing them? The nuance is obscure.
In all events I am thinking perhaps some persons wish to discuss the politics of this (is it not interesting they consdier a united constitution? ) in addition to the tres-americain fascination with "boobies." (These are not unusual to see on the Cote d'Azure, I may assure you.)
A la prochaine--

I doubt if she were male, they would show the twins fighting to give the guy a BJ. Please.

And really, for a gal her age, Angela appears to be, uh, hanging in there quite nicely. Those boobies don't appear to be more than twenty-five years old. Unless you think there's any chance it's not...real....

One's the President and one's the Prime Minister. They preside over a right-wing, nationalist, hardline Catholic government. Anti-gay, anti-semitic, etc. The Prime Minister, Jaroslaw Kaczynski, is strongly rumoured to be gay himself. "Sexism" is barely scratching the surface of the hate-filled, virulently intolerant social climate that is Poland today.
