Is this MAD magazine you are talking about?

Is this MAD magazine you are talking about?

Yes it is.

[Jester]

They mentioned OJ Simpson's book, but not his attempted armed robbery?

My nominees to add to that list, in addition to the above:

The NBA referee that got caught gambling on the NBA.


The baseball players that were exposed as drug cheats (though admittedly not everyone named in the Mitchell Report is necessarily guilty).

The US Women's Soccer Head Coach, for pulling his star goalie the day before their semi-final against Brazil in favor of an older, decent-but-not-as-good goalie. They lost 4-0 to Brazil.

The four idiots that broke into Sean Taylor's house and murdered him.

Former Atlanta Falcons head coach Bobby Petrino, for his sudden exit to take the job at Arkansas.

Former Nebraska football coach Bill Callahan, for taking a once proud program and
dragging it down into places it had not been in decades.

Notre Dame football. 'Nuff said.

"Leave Britney alone!"

Jamie Lynne Spears, for getting pregnant at 16.
Jamie Lynne Spears' and Britney Spears' mother, for having the gall to be writing a book on parenting.
Those Americans who were "shocked" that Britney's little sister would be pregnant at 16. Seriously, WHY were you shocked?!?!?!?

The Miami Dolphins. 'Nuff said.

The New York Mets' utter and total collapse at the end of the season.

Rory Sabatini, who called Tiger Woods "beatable" and then got smoked by Tiger Woods in the very next match they played together.

The BCS system in college football. They will be on this list every year until the morons that run college football finally get a real playoff system in place.

Lindsey Lohan, not for her exploits in general, but for behaving well enough for two months that no one actually won my "When Will Lindsey Lohan Get Arrested Next" pool.

Every one of those idiots whose life was so horrible that they not only had to end it, but they had to take a bunch of innocent people with them. Virginia Tech, Omaha shopping mall, etc. Their last bullet should have been their first and only bullet. If you want off the merry-go-round, fine, but don't push other people who are enjoying the ride off too. Selfish jerks.

Well, to be fair, Jester...some of the things you mentioned happened after this edition of MAD went to print.

What cracked me up is the report that Jamie Lynn was "shocked" over her pregnancy. :rolleyes: Yes Jamie Lynn, having sex can get you pregnant. If you don't understand that, then you were too young to be having sex in the first place, methinks.

My question is how can she be sure who the father is since, in her own words, she has no steady boyfriend but has a group of guys she "regularly hangs out with"?

I'll agree w/ Jester - Miami Dolphins definitely belong on there. At least they didn't go completely defeated this year. :)

Florida Marlin's continued fire sale - selling off Dantrell Willis.

One I saw the other day on TV - GW's year end review:
"We're going to improve fuel efficiency on most cars to 35 miles per hour"

Thanks to the stellar performance of the Baltimore Ravens. :lol:

[DarthRetard]

I have only one thing to say to that, justZu:

Camarillo. Magic Number 83. Welker wore it, and now Camarillo wears it. It shall be the number of magicness.

[Giggle Goose]

Need you remind me of that? :cry:

There's enough Skins fans around to remind you. :D I've actually gotten a few of you purple people to apologize to me.

[Jester]

Then perhaps they should not be printing the "stupid year in review" edition so early...... :lol:

Honestly though, I was not taking MAD to task, merely adding some of my own views.
