As someone who helps companies develop their sense of humor ... I'm ready for the call. You know, if you can't take a joke, then you're really in trouble. And, look how much attention it brought them... now they should get their act together.

This is Mad Magazine's equivalent of the New Yorker Obama cover. A brief moment in the sun before it fades back to obscurity. I haven't read the parody, but the description: "pokes fun at high prices, the breaking of promises found in advertisements, and the employees who save sold-out merchandise for friends" sounds dead on. Any item offered at Circuit City can almost always be found at a cheaper price elsewhere.

After Alfred E Neuman changed his name to G W Bush that mag has never been the same.

all current issues of mad magazine should be destroyed. ever since they broke the long standing policy of no advertising and having been bought by warner brothers, they have been a non-stop advertising machine of the crap they were meant to lampoon. bill gaines must be turning over in his giant grave at the atrocities that have afflicted the house of alfred e. neuman,

I didn't know Circuit City sold magazines, and I didn't know Mad Magazine was still published!
