Buddhist Monk Reads TIME Magazine

TIME THE FACE OF BUDDHIST TERROR

A Buddhist monk in bright orange robes sits in a chair and reads a TIME magazine featuring a portrait of a Buddhist monk with the headline “THE FACE OF BUDDHIST TERROR.” The joke comes from the contrast between the monk’s peaceful appearance and the magazine’s provocative depiction of Buddhist extremism, making it useful as an ironic reaction to hypocrisy or unexpected bad news.
