MAGAZINE URBAN LEGEND<\/span><\/u>: Time magazine intentionally placed “devil horns” on Billy Graham and\/or Bill Clinton as some sort of commentary. <\/p>\n

Back in early January 1993, there was a bit of controversy when Time magazine revealed it’s Man of the Year. They chose the President-Elect, William Jefferson Clinton.<\/p>\n

Here is the cover.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/center><\/p>\n

People were all, “Hey, are you insulting Bill Clinton by making it look like he has devil horns via the M in TIME?”<\/p>\n

Time Magazine said, “No, it’s just a coincidence.”<\/p>\n

Five years later, Clinton was on the cover again, and again…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/center><\/p>\n

And again, Time Magazine said, “No, it’s just a coincidence.”<\/p>\n

Six years ago, Billy Graham was on the cover. Time magazine put him on the cover of the magazine and, once again, if you check out the cover, the M in Time looks like devil horns…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/center><\/p>\n

And yet again, after criticism from people offended by the cover, Time said, “No, it’s just a coincidence.”<\/p>\n

And while I can’t PROVE it (because I can’t read minds), I’m going with “yeah, it’s just a coincidence.”<\/p>\n

Here’s the main reason why.
\n
\nCheck out these covers. Time magazine has put “devil horns” on…<\/p>\n

Person of the Year Vladimir Putin…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/center><\/p>\n

Maggie Thatcher…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/center><\/p>\n

Bill Gates…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/center><\/p>\n

George W. Bush….<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/center><\/p>\n

General Petraeus…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/center><\/p>\n

Kate Winslet…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/center><\/p>\n

Franklin Delano Roosevelt…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/center><\/p>\n

Jay Leno…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/center><\/p>\n

Kim Jung Un…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/center><\/p>\n

Angelina Jolie…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/center><\/p>\n

Kathryn Bigelow…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/center><\/p>\n

Now, some lesser horns…<\/p>\n

Ronald Reagan…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/center><\/p>\n

Lyndon B. Johnson….<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/center><\/p>\n

Abraham freakin’ Lincoln…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/center><\/p>\n

South Vietnam’s President Ngo Dinh Diem…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/center><\/p>\n

Prince Charles…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/center><\/p>\n

David Rockefeller…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/center><\/p>\n

Ben Bernanke…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/center><\/p>\n

Jonathan Franzen…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/center><\/p>\n

and this one I wouldn’t even mention except that when it came out, people DID complain that it made her look like she had devil horns, so Hillary Clinton…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/center><\/p>\n

So, look at those people!<\/p>\n

They are from all facets of life and temperament, so it’s extremely unlikely that the editors at Time magazine have a problem with ALL of them, right?<\/p>\n

It just looks like occasionally the M in TIME can look like devil horns – it sure seems like a coincidence to me, and since that fits the “official” explanation, I’m willing to go with a false here.<\/p>\n

The legend is… <\/p>\n

STATUS<\/span><\/u>: False<\/p>\n
