What, Me Worry? MAD Magazine Going Quarterly

theodp writes "MAD Magazine is about to put out its 500th issue, but starting with its April publication, the mag is cutting down to only four issues per year. The feedback we've gotten from readers,' quipped Editor John Ficarra, 'is that only every third issue of MAD is funny, so we've decided to just publish those.' MAD Kids and MAD Classics are ceasing publication entirely. Keep up the what-me-worry game face, Alfred!"

Speaking of the whitehouse mascot, I think their latest cover makes the whole magazine worth it, no matter what the actual content is.

Since Obama said OK to Warrantless Wiretapping it kind of put a kink in the whole Spy v. Spy thing permanently. Now it's just sorta ___vs. Us.

Easy solution to their finance worries.

The last time I read a hardcopy of a magazine I was really upset Ctrl+F and AdBlock weren't working and I couldn't click the links.
