Do you think it's just a coincidence, or is it a tribute?

I made the unfortunate mistake of seeing a miniature of the infamous picture. I was reading a /. article about the guys at Defcon (was it defcon?) who put up a relay program on a laptop for wireless that hijacked wireless http requests and forwarded them to the infamous site.

Um...yuck.

Anyways, did anyone read the cover article from Time? Is what they're saying legitimate cause for alarm, or just xenophobia, or both?
