Is this the most tasteless magazine cover ever?

 Newsweek's  cover
 My normally cheery disposition turned sour when I noticed, with mounting incredulity,  the Newsweek cover (right) that uses  image manipulation  technology  to bring Princess Diana back from the dead and place her walking down a street alongside  the former Kate Middleton, now Duchess of Cambridge.  I am not easily shocked, but I found this more tasteless than anything I can remember seeing in a mainstream  publication. No amount of Photoshopping will bring Newsweek back from the dead if editor Tina Brown  continues to drive  a  blunt stake through its once-proud  heart with creepy,  crude and  cruel
 sensationalism like this.
