14. I love Mad Magazine

It was one of the first magazines I ever read as an early reader. I picked it up several years ago to get my son to read and I got hooked again. Now my son, husband, my sister and myself read it. It is so right on and truthful in their satire. This is another example of their brilliance in cutting though the NRA crap announcement and adding the real intention.
