The breathtaking hypocrisy from those having a go at those who think it's embarrassing is the funny thing, not the cover itself. I can just imagine the exact same people's reaction had it been Lowe who had done similar.
It's extremely cringeworthy and suggests an enormous ego. Also tallies with the stories that he was desperate for everyone to give him the credit at certain times and not markus.
Hilarious reaction from the same old faces.
