2. Also On The List - The Iraq War

Some top picks this year include the Iraq War quagmire, with a great chess set illustration, drunken Olympic skier, Bode Miller, the Cheney shooting accident, Richard Hatch, head butting soccer star, Zindine Zidane, smear journalist queen, Ann Coulter, with a great "Basest Instinct" movie poster, Mel "Kampf" Gibson, the passion of the anti-semite, tainted spinach, YouTube, Floyd Landis, North Korea nuclear test by "The Nutty Aggressor", "Muslims Gone Wild", Barry Bonds, Issac Hayes quits South Park, K-Fed raps, Mark Foley, Paris Hilton's vow of celibacy, John Mark Karr and other goofballs and events that helped to make 2006 a supid year.

Compared to the nerfball soft MSM publications which merely only suggest that perhaps Iraq may be a quagmire, or tamely suggest other notions that the public has long since accepted , MAD acts without the retraints of the nonsatire magazines, and skillfully uses parody, lampoon and satire to editorialize persons and events. Compared to spending about five bucks for TIME for their bad funhouse mirror looking "Person Of The Year" cover this year, MAD managed to more intelligently cut through all the nonsense and give you a good laugh as well. This is $3.99 well spent. Buy this issue if you do anything this year. This is a real keeper.

3. Youtube is on the list...why?

If it weren't for youtube we might still have George Allen in the Senate. And that would not be good.

5. YouTube?

The website is a study in bad user interface design and generally poor functionality, but they made $1.6 billion on it nonetheless. Stupid for Google, but it seems pretty smart for YouTube.

4. This needs to be kicked

I have not bought an issue of mad for years, but I think I will have to pick this one up. That cover is priceless, and would make great decoration for my cube at work.
