The world has gone “F*cking” MAD !
Speaking of which…remember “Mad Magazine.”
I used to read it a lot back in the seventies, along with “Rolling Stone”. I even had a subscription for the latter.
On account of the internet, a lot of newsstand magazines declined and disappeared over the last 20-25 years. Mad Magizine was no exception.
“Mad Magazine” used to take pride in being anti-establishment. When Donald Trump became President in 2017 one of his campaign pledges was to “drain the swamp” that was Washington D.C. politics.
Trump was the most anti-establishment President in history. Mad Magazine took it upon itself to join the establishment; the political left, the mainstream media, academia, the corrupt Washington elite.
And towards the end of its run it made the lampooning of President Trump its raison d’être.
It didn’t work.
The newstand Mad Magazine ended publication in 2019.
Which is too bad really. Yes, Mad Magazine did some lampooning of Joe Biden back in the day when he was Obama’s Vice President, but the intent was nowhere near the maliciousness that was expressed toward Donald Trump.
Imagine what Mad Magazine and Alfred E. Newman (“what, me worry”) could do with our present demented potted plant President Joe Biden, his crack addled son Hunter, and V.P. Kamala “heels up” Harris.
Imagine what they could do with the “SJW” movement.
But, I don’t think that in the present era of “woke” and poltical correctness that they would have the “balls” to do it.
So it’s just as well they’re defunct.
