Julia Louis-Dreyfus' naked Rolling Stone cover has proven controversial for more reasons than one.
The 53-year-old "Veep" actress bares it all with a copy of the U.S. Constitution signed by John Hancock etched across her back -- only Hancock signed the Declaration of Independence, not the U.S. Constitution.
Louis-Dreyfus jokingly blames the misprint on Mike McClintock, the fictional ''Veep'' character played by co-star Matt Walsh, who serves as communications director.
''Yet another Mike (expletive),'' Louis-Dreyfus, who plays Vice President Selina Meyer on the HBO comedy series, posted Wednesday on Twitter. ''Dummy.''
The National Constitution Center in Philadelphia also ridiculed the error by tweeting a photo of the cover alongside such Founding Fathers as George Washington and Benjamin Franklin in Signers' Hall with the words: ''Thanks for the shoutout but no Hancock here.''
Rolling Stone spokeswoman Melissa Bruno claims the Declaration of Independence is on the comedian's front, but the signatures couldn't all fit.
The "First Lady of Comedy," as the magazine names her, despite the typo, did not win over everyone with her nude cover photo.
"I just wish women weren't so often expected to strip down to prove their chops and boost their appeal," Julianne Ross wrote on PolicyMic.
Legendary casting director Allison Jones also commented on the sexist nature of the comedy industry.
"There's still pushback, especially with women - when they're not that attractive but they're hilarious, it still doesn't matter to many people. They don't get it," she wrote.
However, many argue there is an appealing confidence to Louis-Dreyfus' exposed cover.
To see "a magazine celebrating the sex appeal of a 53-year-old woman for once, instead of a 20-something starlet, could, in a some ways, be considered commendable," Ross added.
But none of the negative comments will ever get under the former "Seinfeld" actress's thick skin.
"There is sexism - I'm not denying its existence," she told Rolling Stone. "But I'm saying that I will deny its effort against me. I just pay it no nevermind and say, 'Get out of my way.'"
