Kindle Joke in MAD Magazine
A friend of mine showed me October 2009 issue of MAD Magazine that featured a cartoon on page 12 showing a man and woman talking with a dog knocked out on the floor -- stars rising from his head. There is a flat device in his hand as he turns to the woman and says, "I didn't have a rolled-up newspaper, so I swatted him with my Kindle."

Shows what Mad Magazine knows...

Hitting the dog with the Kindle probably would've broken the Kindle.

In order to qualify as a Michael Vick joke, the dog has to be brutally strangled to death. Further, I doubt Michael Vick is literate, much less a big reader.

Mine have held up damn well under some serious abuse. (Although I do not hit either the cats or the dogs with them, they have been dropped on stone floors more than once.)

So, shows what you know ....

As long as Michael Vick is not in your immediate area, you have nothing to worry about. However, if you see the dog-murdering bastard, run for your life!!!

Heh, I think he should be tossed naked in a ring with his hands tied behind his back and forced to fight pit bulls with his mouth... just as an experiment to see if he still finds it entertaining.

Sounds like a plan to me!!

I'm still pissed off that in his recent interview he said that he could understand how, from a certain perspective, people might think what he did was wrong.

Ummmm, now that sort of means that there must be a perspective that exists from which what he did isn't wrong. Must be the blood-thirsty killer perspective.

I love it!! (although, if it were a Sony he owned, he wouldn't have dared try that... much sturdier, that sony, right? )

Actually, I recently had a Mad avatar on another board... a memento of my nostalgia from a younger day....

I wanted to attach it here, but I can't find it online, only on my computer now. so here's a similar one

October 2009? Does it have any sports results in it?
