We always agreed with Angela Chase on My So-Called Life when she described Anne Frank as "lucky." Angela's English teacher asks her, "How could Anne Frank be lucky?" and Angela responds, "'Cause she was stuck in an attic for three years with this guy she really liked." That's the part of Anne Frank that people should be focusing on, not all that dreary, depressing Holocaust and death stuff. This month, Radar Magazine agrees with us, giving the bland, old Anne Frank cover a sexy new makeover! After the jump, check out the other fab makeover Radar gives to Holocaust bummer Sophie's Choice. Sophie might have to choose between her children, but she doesn't have to choose an outdated aesthetic!

Last week, cable-ready rabblerouser Bill Maher of HBO's Real Time With Bill Maher ventured to Culver City, California's Fox Hills Mall, where he questioned mallgoers and employees about what is shaping up to be the Sophie's Choice* for black women in the Democratic primaries: Do you back the black man because he's black, or the white woman because she's a woman? (Albeit a woman married to a "black" man.) The black women Bill spoke to are mostly in Barack Obama's favor, and, as for the three men, well, they could care less about the political process, seemingly more interested in "terrorizing" and the price of highly-caffeinated soft drinks. Clip above. *Yeah, bad analogy.
