The cover of today’s New York Post, which features a picture of former Subway pitchman and convicted child pornographer Jared Fogle along with the headline “Enjoy A Foot Long In Jail” is raising a lot of eyebrows on social media. The phrase “NY Post” was among the top five trending topics on Twitter this morning.
Some thought the double entendre was just hilarious:
Never change, NY Post. OMG. pic.twitter.com/K5djmEEq2r

Most, however, were offended by the strong suggestion of prison rape:
A gossip magazine would've worded it better than the NY Post. It's sickening to read that headline.#SMH

It's no surprise the NY Post ran that cover. It's essentially NY's Enquirer. Sad thing is, they probably take that as a compliment.

The NY Post front page and its "joke" about prison rape is shameful.

It’s been a while since there was this much passion about the wood of a New York City tabloid. Who says print is dead?
