OK, the ascension of Joe Sciacca to editor in chief of the Boston Herald is not even remotely controversial. From what I can tell he’s a stand-up guy who deserves the gig. We talked with Joe yesterday on Radio Boston.
In his honor, I submit this fake Herald cover for your review:

Because the Herald does such a good job making non-controversial things controversial. (Illustration by Andrew Phelps/WBUR)
Good luck, Joe.
If you want a laugh, you can browse through some the Herald’s (actual) recent covers — they’re instant classics. What’s your favorite?
Update: Twitterer David Guarino (@davidguarino) replies: “Shoulda gone with a hat. As Joe knows, you haven’t made it until Herald puts a hat on you on page 1.” Hilarious.
