What do you think?  New York Magazine’s blog, “The Daily Intellegencer” has posted about a “sinister secret message” that they’ve found in the title of the magazine in the keepall in the above Annie Leibovitz/Louis Vuitton ad of Mikhail Gorbachev looking thoughtfully at the Berlin Wall whizzing by outside his limo window.

This ad has been around for a while, and this is the first I’ve heard of this little consipiracy theory… but apparently, this is what the magazine looks like blown up:

I also speak no Russion… but apparently, Michael Idov does, and this is what he had to say about it:

Well, we just now happened to take a closer look at that material, and Ho … lee … crap. It’s a Russian book or magazine, strategically posed so that the title is upside-down but readable: “Litvinenko’s Murder — They Wanted to Give Up a Suspect for $7,000.” Litvinenko, of course, is the Russian ex-spy whose death — by polonium-laced sushi — has been widely attributed to Putin’s goons. We have no idea what the business with the $7,000 is (maybe it’s the price of the bag?), and nor do we want to know!

I have no idea what this means… but weird to say the least!
