When I was a young editor for a cable magazine, I interviewed Jay Leno. This was in the young days of cable television and some comics were making fun of the new medium, although many were getting their start and gaining fame because of it. One of the first questions I asked Mr. Leno was why he was so quick to poke fun at the industry that was feeding him. His reply: BECAUSE THAT'S MY JOB.
Lighten up, people. It's MAD MAGAZINE.
Yes, it's humorous, but the extra set of "blood-stained" hands bothers me a bit.
