New Columbia Magazine Is Out, and It’s Got a Clever Headline About Johnny Depp’s Penis

New Columbia Magazine Is Out, and It's Got a Clever Headline About Johnny Depp's PenisExtra! Extra! Hot off the presses! Meaning, downloaded from a Web site slightly ahead of its formal publication date! God, publishing today is boring. Anyway, here’s your first look at the Columbia Spectator’s new sorta-Bee-less weekly magazine (click to embiggen); we’ll do an update once we’ve had a chance to read it.

UPDATE 10:30 a.m.: Breaking! Title of publication is obscure Jane Jacobs reference! Something about “eyes on the street.” Where is this damn Johnny Depp story already?

First major impression: It’s funny. The editor’s note is witty, there’s a spot-on clique breakdown (“If I go to one more party where everyone is sitting in a circle, smoking pot, and talking about Animal Collective, I will jump off a building”), and one intrepid reporter profiles the city’s best toilets.

    Why is the tag “columbia spectator” not capitalized?

    Are you kidding me? You’re complementing an unreadable, esoteric magazine? Journalism is about communicating to the masses in a simple, clear fashion. “The Eye” seems dedicated to the opposite.

    I totally disagree. The magazine is fantastic. I’m not sure how you could find cliques, toilets, and internships esoteric…
