Al And Mad

Post by **Bruce the Duck** » Mon Jun 14, 2004 10:59 pm

In the current issue of "Mad Magazine," there is a brief mention of Al. On page twelve, at the bottom of the page, in a spoof of "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban," one of the characters (Goyle, I believe) is saying in regards to Professor Trelawney (played in the film by Emma Thompson, wearing large-rimmed glasses and thick, messy hair), "This school's in trouble when the professors start using the same makeup and hair people as 'Weird Al' Yankovic."

In the picture, Trelawney is drawn with a crazed expression on her face.

The issue has Harry Potter on the cover. #443 July 2004

Thought you'd like to know.

I read that two days ago and meant to mention it, but forgot. Pretty good satire if you get to read it!

Cool! I just happened to buy that issue of MAD on Saturday with a handful of other magazines, but I haven't read it yet. Now I'll read it and treasure it!

Yeah. I saw that while I was reading it yesterday, and I was going to post it, but you beat me to it. I thought it was really funny, and it got me thinking. I was thinking about how much classier Mad is than The Onion. Mad's jokes are all in good fun, and they aren't tasteless about it.
