That Damned UPC!!!

140 comments:

  1. I enjoy that they picked a photo of you that could be tilted so it looks like your chin is resting on the UPC, peeking over it.

  2. Mine doesn't have that, if it makes you feel better. However, apparently you can't find the single face ones in stores... you have to have a subscription... bummers!!

    ReplyDelete
  3. Awesome! It reminds me of Monsters Inc when Mike and Sulley are on the cover of the magazine. Mike's face is covered by a UPC, too.

    At least you're peaking over it. That counts for something, right?

    ReplyDelete
  4. That reminds me of Monster's Inc...Mike Wazowski always got shafted when it came to being in the spotlight. Don't worry, us LOST fans know the show would not be nearly as good without you in it.

  5. Aw Jorge, that sucks! You're not having much luck on the magazine front, are you?

    ReplyDelete
  6. Thats one funky beard Jorge... lol

    ReplyDelete
  7. Unbelievable! That is some serious amateur graphic design. Entertainment Weekly should be embarrassed. (They KNOW that UPC goes on every cover...) Sorry Dude. People suck.

    ReplyDelete
  8. Ugh. I thought they planned around stuff like that.dori

    ReplyDelete
  9. That made me actually LOL. Just take "Mike's" attitude from Monster's Inc..."I can't believe it I was on (the cover of Entertaiment Weekly), did you see me? I'm a natural" ;)

    ReplyDelete
  10. I love that it looks like you are resting your chin on it.

    ReplyDelete
  11. I'm glad you're tall enough to see over the UPC. ^_^

    BTW, I got Locke on my Entertainment Weekly. I was hoping to get your cover! *cry* ^_^

    ReplyDelete
  12. Ouch.. that sucks.

    Is that Emilie de Ravin second from the right on the bottom? I can't make myself see Claire not matter how much I stare at her!

    ReplyDelete
  13. Oh no!! At least it's not on top of your face, just a UPC with curly hair.

    ReplyDelete
  14. Dude, that really sucks. At least we can see your head. Maybe if you squint and pretend you're wearing a striped turtleneck it's OK.

    ReplyDelete
  15. Those things really belong on the back of a magazine. :/

    ReplyDelete
  16. Oh my gosh - that sucks! You'd think they could account for that...especially for a LOST edition!

    ReplyDelete
  17. Dude, the Jacob / MIB episode rocked.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Have you seen Monsters Inc.? Reminds me of poor Mike's plight...

    ReplyDelete
  19. D'OH!!!! That's simply wrong! BTW, tonight's ep was INCREDIBLE!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  20. Ha ha ha. It's like you are actually trying to squeeze your head between the box and the tag. ha ha

    ReplyDelete
  21. Oh, that is just not right!! Sorry Jorge.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Aww man! That stinks! I need to go pick up a copy of this magazine.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Doh! Well, at least it looks like you were wearing a striped shirt anyway. :)

    ReplyDelete
  24. You have just not been having much luck with magazine covers are you?!? lol

    ReplyDelete
  25. Wow Jorge... awesome magazine cover, but I'm more intrigued by your experiments in bread. I've recently mastered sweet yeast breads, but am going to try my hand at the artisan breads you've blogged about. Awesome work...on the baking & the series!

    ReplyDelete
  26. Oh no! LOL! Reminds me of Mike Wazowski in the Monsters, Inc. commercials. :)

    ReplyDelete
  27. I want a copy of that!!! Gosh, it´s sad to think everything is getting close to the end... voy a extrañar mucho la serie sin duda alguna.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Hahahaha! I'm sorry Hurley! Looks like you're peeking out from behind a newspaper! :)

    ReplyDelete
  29. At least you're looking up! If it had been a straight-on pic all we would see is your eyes.

    ReplyDelete
  30. LOL oh man- you KNOW hurley would be "DUDE! what the... DUDE?"

    ReplyDelete
  31. I know, I got mine and I was bummed. Like most LOST fans, your character is one of my favorites.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Ha! That's pretty much what I said when I picked up a copy at Barnes & Noble (after finding out this cover was the only one available at stores). Got to special-order the other covers from EW ... who I'm not speaking to, since they dissed Desmond by not giving him a cover. ;)

    ReplyDelete
  33. Dude! That corner spot was tailor made for crazy Claire.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Too bad you didn't pose like Kilroy!

    ReplyDelete
  35. You get no respect, no respect at all.

    ReplyDelete
  36. I like how it's perfectly positioned so that most of your features are still in the photo. Would have been much worse if your mouth and above were covered.

    ReplyDelete
  37. I was really upset about this. Stupids!

    ReplyDelete
  38. If they would just make their magazine cover like one of those cool sliding puzzle games, then they'd really have something!!

    ReplyDelete
  39. Well that's just RUDE.

    Did you hear that Beth got a shout out when Evangeline Lily was on David Letterman?

    ReplyDelete
  40. aw man, that sucks! why isn´t the upc on the back of the magazine?!?!
    Btw, great interview with Aol.

    ReplyDelete
  41. noooooo!!! it reminds me Monsters Inc.! ;)

    ReplyDelete
  42. Aw, man...that really sucks, doesn't it? They made you look like a curly-haired Kilroy.

    Shame, EW, SHAME!

    ReplyDelete
  43. Well, Jorge, it's because you're special...

    ReplyDelete
  44. I got the one with Locke on it. I didn't know they had one with everyone.

    ReplyDelete
  45. oh man.....at least you can see more of you than "Mike" on Monster INC ;)

    ReplyDelete
  46. Omg you've been robbed!!!
    Gotta tell ya, your crying scene in the last episode made me burst out crying. Well done :)

    I do hope you are moving on to something else soon, I will miss watching you :(

    You also need to get your dog more cameos, soooo friggin cute!

    ReplyDelete
  47. But you have the best far away look! Josh's is kind of an angry far away. Yours is a little more gentle. Everyone else has a "Bring it - grrrr!" look, straight to the camera. It's like you are happy with it all. I got's to find me one of those mags.

    ReplyDelete
  48. LOL! Man, you got the short end of the stick!!

    ReplyDelete
  49. all you guys should egg the car of the person who photoshopped these pictures. At least yours turned out ok. actually I dunno if you read the comments but what is your favorite piece of lost promotional media? maybe I should ask this on dural-sac jack blog.

    w/e that upc made a move that was uncalled for, I wonder who got the upc on the issue where your center?

    ReplyDelete
  50. wooo... it seems like them sawyer covers are attracted to you :)

    ReplyDelete
  51. a UPS or DEATHS! plastered on your forehead. you both got the short end of the stick.

    ReplyDelete
  52. UPC or not, we already know how cute you are, Jorge! Not to worry about such things!

    ReplyDelete
  53. It's like in Monsters, Inc. When Mike is on TV.

    ReplyDelete
  54. Bummer on the UPC, dude. Wondering why Josh's picture is so big?! It's it a sign of something in the storyline? Or just that he's hot?

    ReplyDelete
  55. Reminds me of Mike Wazowski from Monsters Inc when he was on that commercial and the Logo covered his face... he was still very excited :)

    ReplyDelete
  56. That's a real shame Jorge. Life is pretty darn unfair at times.
    Gonna really miss seeing you as Hurley every week. Fare well my friend.

    ReplyDelete
  57. Same thing happened to that little guy in Monsters Inc. and he was happy just to be on the cover.

    ReplyDelete
  58. Reminds me of Mike Wazowski on "Monsters Inc"! At least you're on the cover of EW. Not too many of us can ever say that ;-)

    ReplyDelete
  59. That's seriously wrong. They couldn't have put it over Naveen's face? You'd still see his eyes, at least.

    ReplyDelete
  60. Aw. It's like in Monsters Inc. when Mike Wazowski gets covered up by the logo in the commercial. It's okay. We know you look great!

    ReplyDelete
  61. Congratulations for a wonderful run of Lost. I'm a huge fun of both the character Hurley and what your acting has brought to the show. I thought you'd like to see this compilation of Hurley's "dudes" that I found online. :)

    Thanks again for a great show,

  62. Oh, COME ON!!! I'm gettin tired of you gettin shafted!

    ReplyDelete
  63. This is incredibly rude on EW's part. What jerks. At least you don't have "shocking deaths" written across your forehead. :-)

    ReplyDelete
  64. oh no, you're like Mike Wazowski on Monsters Inc.! :)

    ReplyDelete
  65. lol! I thought the same thing.

    However, if you observe all the pics, it would make the most sense to place your photo there since your head is tilted up the most.

    ReplyDelete
  66. OMG! I can't believe they did that! It reminds me of Monsters Inc! haha!

    ReplyDelete
  67. This came in the mail with just one face on it not the whole crew with the words, we'll miss you.. I lost my stuff and started screaming that EW spoiled the whole show! Then I found out all of the characters were on the covers.. then I calmed down.

    ReplyDelete
  68. You're sort of peeking over it! You look very inquisitive. Or maybe pissed off.

    ReplyDelete
  69. Awwww... honey. I'm sorry. Reminds me of Mike Wazowski on Monsters, Inc.

    ReplyDelete
  70. I felt the same way when I bought this copy!

    ReplyDelete
  71. Now that is WELL out of order!

    ReplyDelete
  72. that reminds me of old school Andy Griffiths where Barney gets his name in the paper only to have it spelled wrong.

    Classic!

    T <><

    ReplyDelete
  73. You just cannot catch a break with this issue of EW. (I didn't find you in my mailbox. Or Josh. I got Matthew...)

    ReplyDelete
  74. I was happy to have received a copy with Terry O'Quinn on the cover, but I would have preferred one with Jorge. Are they selling all of the covers on newsstands (and are there newsstands anymore)?

    And, by the way, was the story Evangeline Lilly started to tell on Letterman the other night about you and Sidekick 22, or about Hurley and Libby?

    ReplyDelete
  75. what a bunch of B.S.!!!!!!!! You deserve the big pic, esp without the upc in the way!


    On another note, everyone hyped up Ep 15 so much that I was a little disappointed in it, as much as I love the mythology of the show. Darlton said we would know they've known the endgame by the skeletons, but it wasn't anything huge, it seems like they could've decided to throw them in there this season. Didn't Jack say in sea 1 their clothes looked 30-40 yrs old?

    ReplyDelete
  76. Well, I guess you needed to rest your chin on the bar code:)

    ReplyDelete
  77. Yikes what was up with the newest episode of Lost last night?? Will we get closure or more questions?
    Help!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  78. Awe... You're everybody's favorite anyway. They had to put Sawyer there to make him feel better for being hated. ;)

    ReplyDelete
  79. i, too, enjoy the peeking.

    and the heinous jin-spoiler. :)

    ReplyDelete
  80. Dude, hi. I Just watched the episode 6x15 of Lost and i think it is wonderful, very very much.
    We have some answers now...but there are new questions too :-) like:
    1. if MIB, the monster, has not a body, how can he leave the island?

    Namastè, Hugo

    ReplyDelete
  81. It really looks like you're trying to look -over- the UPC. Like somehow you knew they were going to put it there.

    ReplyDelete
  82. Nobody puts Jorge in a corner!

    ReplyDelete
  83. Oooh why? Stupid bar code!
    Well... what's done is done.
    =/

    ReplyDelete
  84. If it had your fingers over the top edge of the UPC it would be a "Jorge was here" instead of Kilroy

    ReplyDelete
  85. Hey, at least you are peeking over the UPC, not obliterated by it :)

    ReplyDelete
  86. Hi Jorge and Beth
    That UPC was the first thing I noticed, even before Sawyer. :-)

    I searched my local market and found one lone copy of EW and it has all the pics on it (hidden down in the back corner of a rack behind market baskets,guess it got missed by everyone else.) My subscription copy came with Locke on it but I wanted the issue with everyone so it worked out well.

    I believe there was a tv guide with a few Lost actors on the cover and the same thing happened to Naveen Andrews.

  87. Jorge,

    Anyone bring this to your attention yet?

    Mike

    ReplyDelete
  88. Having a toddler that loves Monsters Inc this makes me immediately think of the commercial with Mike and Sulley where the logo was round and placed directly over little green round Mike lol

    You can put a positive spin on it and say YOU are the one they are paying for...just a thought! :)

    ReplyDelete
  89. Dude! What the heck?! That's not fair that some photos are larger than others! You guys should have all had the same size!

    Mike Wazowski!!!

    ReplyDelete
  90. They photos look like really odd photoshop versions of everybody..lol

    ReplyDelete
  91. You rock bro, thanks for the comment. Means a lot that you took time to contact someone you've never met. Most celebs are uptight and wouldn't dare. God Bless

    ReplyDelete
  92. Oh man, I just figured out the UPC thing. That sucks. Is that a final print?

    ReplyDelete
  93. It just means you're the most valuable cast member! Right.

    Is that Claire? Am I nuts or does that look nothing like her?

    ReplyDelete
  94. this is unrelated to this post, but, dude, you've gotta see this

    6 seasons of Hurley's "dude"

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uAPKB6-DYOY&feature=player_embedded#!

    ReplyDelete
  95. haha dude!
    http://jezebel.com/5536670/lost-six-seasons-of-hurley-saying-dude

    ReplyDelete
  96. at least we can see your face above the upc. thank god they had you look up or your whole face would be covered. Love ya Hurley but I got BEN for my cover in the mail. great articles covering LOST though. Peace Out.Renita from Indiana

    ReplyDelete
  97. If they took some space from Daniel Dae Kim photo and cut some hair to Naveen Andrews, you could have been to de right of that UPC instead upon it.
    Lets blame a lazy cover designer.
    Anyway, i think its cool to be there, everyone now looks for who got busted by the UPC.
    Congrats! You and Mike Wazowsky did!!

    ReplyDelete
  98. I am having the hardest time finding a copy of this issue in stores! Why?? (help)

    ReplyDelete
  99. Dude and Sawyer? He's not even the freakin' hero!

    BTW: I'm a grown man and you moved me to tears with your breakdown on the Candidate.

    ReplyDelete
  100. My Question is... Why is Josh's the biggest picture? Is Josh gonna be a major part to the finale? Is he gonna die saving Jack? I remember when Sawyer told Jack "you're the closest thing to a friend I've got doc". aww

    ReplyDelete
  101. Finally you are behind the bars!!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  102. How was LOST LIVE? Details... Give us details! Also, where ya gonna move to?

    ReplyDelete
  103. Hi Jorge,
    I sympathize, but you know what is really a bummer, that the runaway cable satellite could cut off communication on Sunday May 23rd. Of all the days!!! 6years I've been watching Lost never missed an episode and now this? I guess it's ironic in some LOST weird no communication way, hopefully it won't happen. That would really really suck! Love your blog!

    ReplyDelete
  104. I know it doesn't go with this post, but I just finished my Lost shadowbox, and posted a pic on my blog--I wanted to follow up since I'd said I would put up a pic when it was finished!

    And, it is too bad your pic got UPC'd :(

    ReplyDelete
  105. They should have covered up that Said dude, he's always bugged me. I'm glad he's like undead now.

    ReplyDelete
  106. Darn it! :/

    We should go Betty White style and start a Facebook campaign to get you a full cover!

    ReplyDelete
  107. Shouldn't the UPC be on the back?

    ReplyDelete
  108. Totally just bought your poster to hang up with the rest of our limited edition poster collection at home. Awesome. :) http://damoncarltonandapolarbear.com/xrx/body.php?module=product_details&pid=2876&id=172

    ReplyDelete
  109. Oh NOOOO! you are in the shocking deaths department........

    ReplyDelete
  110. Different subject but I just noticed that your fan mail address has been changed to stateside....so sad!

    ReplyDelete
  111. Hey, I am here in Texas and I have this same one that I bought off the selves at B&N. No UPC!!

    If you want one, let me know.

    ReplyDelete
  112. Jorge don't worry! It's a just Magazin cover!

    ReplyDelete
  113. How cool would that be if that UPC actually meant 4 8 15 16 23 42 !
    Finally a rational explanation for the numbers ! Answers are coming ;-)

    ReplyDelete
  114. i totally want that issue. i hope i will be able to grap a copy in berlin.
    i hope they won't ruin your photo even more via putting another sticker for the price in euro above. :(

    ReplyDelete
  115. Okay, so I think Josh Holloway is hot too, but could they make his picture just a little smaller and actually give you some space on there, jeez. Hope there is a big plot twist and Hurley gets to be the new Jacob, even though everyone and their mother thinks it will be Jack. .........That character cries a lot and it makes me a little uncomfortable.

  117. Jorge,

    Luck of the draw dude. At least you're on the cover!

    ReplyDelete
  118. LOL! Looks like you're Mike Wazowski (from Monsters, Inc.)... glad it wasn't like that on all of them!

    ReplyDelete
  119. You're still a cutey over there in that little corner.

    I love that you have a blog.
