Though I like this photo, I'll be the first to admit it looks like something out of a bad cover for Backpacker Magazine: (http://www.backpacker.com/)

http://www.pmags.com/gallery2/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=17693&g2_serialNumber=2&g2_GALLERYSID=9b7269e0127675108ae6001d1d0952b4 (http://www.pmags.com/gallery2/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=17693&g2_serialNumber=2&g2_GALLERYSID=9b7269e0127675108ae6001d1d0952b4)

Being the sarcastic twerp I am, I gave the photo this caption:

I can see the titles on the cover: DON'T GET LOST..TIPS FROM EXPERTS! TOP TEN SECRET PLACES THAT WE'LL RUIN! EXPENSIVE GEAR YOU HAVE TO BUY!

Dlarson over the BPLITE.COM (http://bplite.com/viewtopic.php?f=37&t=1060) took my idea and ran with it:

Too funny!

He also Photoshopped one my other photos and made an old time looking post card as a joke:

Never knew my photos were so inspirational. ;)

Thought it might give some people a chuckle

hilarious!

although i think the bp'er cover would be more believable if you were clean shaven & wearing some yuppified clothes.:D

Yeah, I don't see those clothing logos prominently displayed...

Play the game--find the articles hidden among the ads.

That's nice. Where do I buy the expensive weightless gear?

I think my thrift store shirt and surplus hat is quite snazzy. ;)

Lol..wish I still had it - back in 2002 a friend of mine and I took photos of us sitting on open air privies and did a fake BP magazine cover/article with that and photos of Mt. Baker we took. It was hilarious and really stupid :p

Okay, so the fact that it's sponsored by Savers explains the cheesy look of Backhiker.

Does Tata take out full-page vehicle ads?

Remember the SNL skits about Adobe - the little car made of clay? :D
