For better or worse, I like to think that “Mad” magazine had an influential impact on my sarcastic sense of humor, and love for satire and parody. Growing up in the 1970’s, I loved the magazine.

It seemed that most girls (and parents) never saw the humor while the young boys would be rolling in the streets with hysterical laughter.

The magazine today isn't what it once was. Time-Warner has paid advertising now. Bill Gaines said he couldn't ethically accept advertising from Coca Cola while he was introducing skepticism in the advertising claims of Pepsi or some other beverage manufacturer.
I learned far more about advertising from the ORIGINAL Mad Men at EC Publications than I did from some cable tv show.
