Trading Private Bergdahl: Mad Magazine Nails Obama's Prisoner Exchange
NewsBusters ^ | June 3, 2014 | P.J. Gladnick

"Obama, when you've lost MAD magazine, you've lost America."

That was the apt quote from one of Mad Magazine's readers commenting on their hard hitting parody about President Obama's trade of Bowe Bergdahl for five top Taliban leaders who had been incarcerated in Guantanamo. As you will see after the jump, Mad took a very dim view of the exchange. "Barack Obama's Unfortunate New Movie," was very different from the usual light-hearted humor you see in Mad:

0’s got Alfred E. Neumans’s life philosophy as well:
“Why try harder?, Just do what?, What, me worry?”

Sometimes it went a bit far... being agnostics as they were, they might have been poking some misbegotten jibes at the Christian “Do not be anxious.” But that’s different from total idiotic not caring, which is not for the sake of faith in God, but because one is absorbed in oneself.

In a sense it IS from faith, but a misplaced faith. In oneself.

That site and the downloaded file contain all kinds of malware.

Avast blocked most of it, I just hope it got it all.

I guess I'll find out over the next couple of days.

The download/install of the Mad Magazines failed too, after about 15 minutes of Avast popups.

Too bad.

I was looking forward to reading MAD.
