Fusion Magazine
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fusion is a comedy magazine founded and edited by Glenn Beck and published in the United States. The title is a play on Beck's talk radio program's motto, The Fusion of Entertainment and Enlightenment.
Fusion is a sixteen page publication that is published ten times a year. A recurring item in Fusion is the future obituary of famous people. Fans who went to the 2005 Glenn Beck: On Ice tour received the premiere issue featuring puppet-like replication of Glenn ice skating with training wheels on the cover. According to the Glenn Beck Disaster Relief Auction, the "puppet was hand made out of polymer clay, wire, metal, plastic, foam, fabric and sequins by Chris Sickels of Red Nose Studio." The auction raised thusands of dollars for the victims of Hurricane Katrina.
The articles in the premiere issue include:
- 1/4 Page Politics
- The License to Procreate Quiz
- Raphe (Glenn's 8 month old son) on Social Security
- A Predictive Obituary (for Michael Jackson)
