NOW Magazine’s cover of Mayor Rob Ford has been compared to TIME Magazine’s front cover of Adolf Hitler printed 67 years earlier.

The cover of NOW, an alternative weekly, shows Ford with a dripping, spray-painted X splashed across his face.

TIME’s cover which cast a red X across the face of Hitler was printed on May 7, 1945, one day before Germany’s official surrender.

TIME’s red X covers have featured some of the most hated men in America and have also included Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein.

It’s not the first time NOW has skewered Ford on its cover; last March, a topless Ford in patterned boxers greeted readers at the newsstand.

Reaction online ranged from praise to outrage. One Twitter user congratulated NOW, while another expressed how sorry he felt for Ford.

NOW posted a cheeky response on Twitter. “Our cover is not an intentional reference to the Time Hitler cover. Sometimes an X is just an X. Bye!”
