Pumpkins unveil cover art

And as we speak, Chuckles Heston and everyone else still around who was involved with the original Planet of the Apes are writing up a massive law suit. Seriously, just try looking at that and not screaming, "Damn you! God damn you all to hell!"
Not that the artist behind the cover, Shephard Fairey, doesn't have a history with appropriating other images. He was the dude behind the seminal viral Andre the Giant/Obey campaign.
In related news, it appears Billy Corgan copped to "all new releases must come out on Tuesdays" pressure and moved Zeitgeist from its original planned 7/7/07 release date to the more conventional July 10.

Yeah, that's what Fairey says about it. Global warming: the new nuclear annihilation.

I like it, I think. The monotone reds are fitting.
