Mona Lisa Book covers

There have been a variety of book covers which uses the very famous image of the Mona Lisa in a new twist. Examples are shown below:




The famous cover of New Yorker Magazine depicting Monica Lewinsky as the Mona Lisa (above). This clever and attractive image plays on multiple characteristics of its subject: Monica was known among friends as "Mona," The images of her in the popular press emphasized her mouth and smile (with appropriate innuendo), and in both Monica and Mona there flies the uncertainty of the nature of her relationship with a great celebrity.

New facebook

There has recently been a change in the facebook layout style. I like it however most people really hate it. There are so many groups i keep getting invited to about bring back the new facebook, so why do i like the new one?

I think its is more asthetically pleasing, i find it much easier to find out whats going on, the layout is more simple and coherant to read, and also when ure visiting someone elses profile you dont have to scroll all the way for about 10 mins to there wall cause of the amount of crap applications they have decided to have!

What do you think? old or new?
