Anthony Weiner’s new sexting scandal is being spoofed on the latest issue of The New Yorker.

A cartoon image of the New York City mayoral candidate, who released a public apology after explicit messages and photos of his “Carlos Danger” alter-ego emerged online earlier this week, is seen straddling the Empire State building on the magazine’s August 5 cover.

John Cuneo, the artist of the cover, said of the illustration, “Free association made me think of the Empire State Building, and then King Kong, the iconic image of him straddling it.”

“And then Weiner sexting, his head tilted and looking a certain way,” explained Cuneo, who added, “But all I could think about while working on this piece was, ‘Will Weiner still be in the race by the time it runs?’”

Check out a larger image of the cover below.

TheDirty.com, the gossip site that first broke the news of the New York mayoral candidate’s most recent transgressions, opted to post the alleged “world exclusive” penis pictures on Thursday.

Explaining the decision to run the pictures, the site’s editor Nik Richie wrote:

There comes a time for people to dissolve the political bonds which have connected them with self-absorbed, perverted politicians. New York City, now is that time! As the flagship city of the United States, you must use this as an opportunity to tell the world that dirty politicians like Anthony Weiner don’t deserve to represent you.

Today is the first time in our company history that TheDirty.com has published extreme nude images without censor because New York deserves better leadership than this.

While we are not going to post the images here, if one is so inclined to see the pictures that could potentially change the course of New York’s mayoral race — CLICK HERE TO SEE THE NOT-SAFE-FOR-WORK, UNCENSORED PHOTOS, courtesy of TheDirty.
