Federal prosecutors on Monday accused the CEO of National Lampoon Inc. and two other people of trying to inflate the company's stock price by paying people to buy shares.

Now THAT is funny!

Come on, they were just kidding.

Seriously, I miss National Lampoon. I graduated to Lampoon from Mad Magazine when I entered high school. It made me cool enough to hang around with the boys. I loved Animal House before it was a movie....back when it was just a special edition I got for renewing my subscription. I cried when Doug Kenney died...okay, maybe not cried, but I got really sad for most of the afternoon. Now I am glad Doug didn't live to see this.

15 year old girls who like to make boys laugh. Twenty something moms who want to make their kids laugh. Thirty-somethings moms who want to teach their teenagers that reading is the coolest thing ever. Me :(

Okay, I think you are telling a funny joke but I don't get it. Damn menopause.

This type of manipulation is fairly common and they deserve all the bad karma they are getting. It would have been nice if one SEC auditor had driven to the small office of Bernie Maddof’s CPA in New City, NY to check the books.

The National Lampoon case is pretty small potatoes by comparison.

In Vacation they drove around with a dead aunt tied to the roof of the station wagon.

Bravo! (There really was a cover that replaced the dog with a French hooker, BTW.)

Senator Blutarsky is going to be very upset when he hears about this.

Supposedly he was devastated because he thought Caddyshack was a failure.

Now I am glad Doug didn't live to see this.

Too bad he didn't live to see what a huge success Caddyshack turned out to be. I don't think the current National Lampoon has much of a connection with the past, except for holding some assets.
