As part of a celebration
commemorating its 100th issue, Maxim went to the Nevada desert and unfurled a 75-by-110 foot version of one of
the lad mag's most popular covers, of Desperate Housewives' Eva Longoria. Of course, because this is
Maxim, Eva isn't exactly wearing a cable-knit sweater on this cover. So, in essence, this is the first time
this desert has seen mounds this big since the last sandstorm (ba dum bum).The Maxim cover is SO big, (if this were Match Game, I'd be hearing "How big is it?" right now) it can be seen from space. Well, at least Google Earth was able to pick up the cover on its satellite cameras, as the magazine's web site proudly states. So there you go: all you need is Eva Longoria, a bikini, and a truckload of day laborers to create a newsworthy event. Nice going, Maxim!

Er, not quite. The link on Maxim's site includes an overlay - that is, it's not actually on the Google Earth's server. Anybody can make an overlay. Its quite possible that's a really good photoshop.
