And you thought the story was dead. Dead, dead, dead. A 47th prod of the stick reveals the story is still moving. And the HUFFINGTON POST via a litany of websites reveals that the LeBron James/Gisele Bundchen cover shot on Vogue might have the most striking resemblance to a World War I recruitment poster.

(LeBron. Gisele. And the Kaiser. These stories and Andy Rooney on 60 Minutes.)

This actually seems modestly harmless. Vogue was likely taking a hard stance condemning the death of Archduke Ferdinand — a sentiment needed so badly in today’s anti-Ottoman Empire society.

Some speculate that while the WWI recruitment poster doesn’t have a bouncing basketball, it was conceptually replaced by Wilson’s Fourteen Points. And with no flapper girl equivalent for a stickly Brazilian supermodel, they replaced Gisele with a desirable woman.

But the debate is not over. And it’s for the best that we dissect, trisect, and dodecasect this issue until we can once and for all reach a definitive… hey, look, everyone! The May 2008 edition of Vogue!

UPDATE: EVEN MORE controversial Lebron covers! Sweet!
