Following the unveiling this morning of Time's magazine cover for the week of August 17, 2015, Twitter has exploded with snark, responding to the goofy and awkward cover with social media derision such as we haven't seen since Geoff Kneighley became the Pope of Doritos. As the inventor of the Oculus Rift Palmer Luckey may be one of the great innovators of our tech era, but between the bare feet and silly pose, this is just bad. Here are some of our favorite reactions.

.@xoxogossipgita's response to that Time cover was "That could be a chicken impression from Arrested Development." And yes. Yes it could.

"How do you want me to act?" "Yeah, so pretend like you are flying and sort of pooping your pants at the same time" https://t.co/wRAR7Qhe4o

Hundreds and hundreds of Tweets about how out of touch Time magazine is about tech as if The Big Bang Theory isn't the #1 show in America.

Judging by the amount of people talking about Time's cover, it looks like VR will be a huge success
