Funny how it's always the cover up that gets you - Watergate, Iran/Contra, Valerie Plame - the original Mad spoof wasn't news until Circuit City's internal communication to destroy all copies was disclosed. Speaking of covering up, it's not a bald spot, Chris, it's a solar panel for a sex machine. :) Have a great vacation.

I would really love to know who made the call to pull Mad from the shelves. There are so many places I could go with this one, but I'll just say I think it must have been a slow news day for Michael Felberbaum of AP. Off to find a yamika for my beach vacation.
