Mad Magazine strikes again!

[walldude]

I get Mad for my kids every month and they have been just slamming the right wing for the last couple years. This one made me laugh out loud. Even though it's not exactly funny if you know what I mean.

[aquart]

1. For your kids. Sure.

[walldude]

2. Hehe...

:P :yoiks:

[blogslut]

3. Damn

I gotta start buying MAD again

[walldude]

5. This one is still my favorite

[blogslut]

6. Stop teasing me

The bookstore is closed for the night!

[eridani]

7. It's my excuse for being strange.

I started reading it waaay back when it was "25 cents. Cheap".

[LiberalEsto]

10. Me too

MAD made me everything I am today

:evilgrin:

[regnaD kciN]

8. One of my favorites...

...from just before the 2004 election. When I was a kid, Mad used to take shots at political leaders (after all, they had Dick Nixon to kick around!) and issues, but I don't think they were ever as pointed as this.

24. I (sort of) remember reading my first MAD

Back in 1964, I believe---my sister brought it home. I quickly got hooked. It was one of my major childhood influences.

9. thanks for this upload. I saw it in this month's issue and thought

how relevant this mag still is. And I still laugh at most things in the mag. And yes, I'm another adult who bought a subscription for my son....so I could read it.

13. MAD Magazine has a better grip on REAL news....

....than a lot of other sources out there (like FAUX and stuff). :thumbsup:

[DemoTex]

18. MAD is the print template for "The Daily Show." Sort of ..

I came of age in the late '50s and early '60s reading MAD Magazine and listening to Brother Dave Gardner LPs.


The Nation cover.

20. When I was 20 (1970), I walked into their Manhattan offices (13th floor, really!), got all

the writers' and editors' autographs, and asked how one got a job there. The answer: "You don't!"

Well, there went THAT dream!

I should have told them I was a student at Potrzebie U.
Heh.

[FVZA_Colonel]

25. Mad Magazine is a living testament to the First Ammendment.

If we weren't a society that values (at leas, we still do) the right to satire, then it would have been sued out of existence a long time ago.

26. It should be on every elementary school library bookshelf.

Literacy can be fun! :D

28. The Onion beat them to it

March 9, 2005 | Issue 41•10

WASHINGTON, DC—Almost a year after the cessation of major combat and a month after the nation's first free democratic elections, President Bush unveiled the coalition forces' strategy for exiting Iraq.

"I'm pleased to announce that the Department of Defense and I have formulated a plan for a speedy withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq," Bush announced Monday morning. "We'll just go through Iran."
