belatedly on Monday afternoon , Variety co - editor - in - headman Andrew Wallenstein sent a tweet out into the world . This would n’t be a particularly noteworthy action , except that it included an image of what is likely Variety ’s upcoming natural covering , depicting Marissa Mayer as a Christ - like figure carrying a Y - shape crossbreeding . What ? Indeed .

Mayer is hanging out in what looks like some kind of desert surround , carrying a Y - shape wooden crown of thorns on her back , her aspect etched with pain sensation , superfluity , or both . ( in all probability both . )
It ’s unreadable what , exactly , Variety is going for here , beyond an exercise in poor gustatory perception . Mayer snuff it for our sins ? Is her violent courtship supposed to symbolise the blood she ’s pour forth while at Yahoo ? Does the skull on the ground represent the misfortunate Yahoo shareowner eff over bybad management and inadequate decisions ? Marissa Mayer is tired ? Marissa Mayer’sZamboni ridewasn’t worth it ? Marissa Mayer could n’t palm lifting the weightiness of a massive , billion - dollar company ? We should pray for Marissa Mayer ?
We ’ve turn over out to Variety and Yahoo for comment , and we ’ll update if we hear back .
Update : A Yahoo spokesperson provided the following statement by email : “ run that cover instance is Variety ’s own burden to bear . ”
Update May 24th , 4:31 pm : The cover taradiddle is out , and it also includes an illustration that reference book Leonardo da Vinci ’s “ The Last Supper . ” They really went all in with this topic !
