Can I post scans from a 1982 MAD magazine?
« on: December 31, 2004, 08:00:07 am »
I found one over the christmas break at the parent's place talking about video games--just curious if its ok to post the scanned excerpts?

for example...
its better to not post and be thought a fool, then to whip out your keyboard and remove all doubt...

what I found most interesting is that the same games would still be valid today--especially the piling of the bull, the legal manoever game, and the bloody hockey fight (although not this season)...just good for some nostalgia ;D

Really a shame what became of Mad Magazine....  :-[  Now there's advertising and the articles are more goofy that satirical.

Ah well... the Complete Mad CD-Rom set is really cool if you can find it on eBay.  Every issue scanned up to about 1998.

What advertising? True thay had an ad a while back which was a fold in, but it was only for WB products (Who owns them now I think). And upcoming issues get advertised.

If anything, they re-print the same stuff way too often now.  :(
Now in a tasty new flavour.

The last time I looked at an issue (about 3 or 4 years ago) there were real ads (what I thought was a parody on the back was actually a real ad for Altoids).  I don't know if they changed back but that's what killed it for me.

I'm looking at Australian MAD. There hasn't been advertising in about 2 years. And even that wasn't anything major.
