Mad #528 (John Ficarra) - Monster Wedding Issue - August 2014

Kim Kardashian is known for being an assistant to Paris Hilton as she did whatever it was she did.  Kim has recently married her third husband, Kanye West who is a rap singer from Atlanta, Georgia.  "Kanye" is a Nigerian word meaning "let's give".  North West, daughter of Kim & Kanye was born in June 2013.  This celebrity wedding was very important to fans of celebrity weddings.  Mad artist Mark Fredrickson drew the Frankensteinian cover for this issue.  The Mad editors liked it so much that they reproduced it as a two-page poster on the inside.  For the record, the contents of Mad #528 are:

Fundalini Pages & Strip Club - 9 pages
Mad Vault & Best of Idiotical - 5 pages
Index & Letters - 4 pages
Advertisements - 8 pages
Celebrity Wedding Stuff - 5 pages
Other Original Material - 29 pages

"Two Defectives" is the best parody of a television show I never saw.  "Planet Tad!!!!!" is excellent as always.  The best article in the issue in "The Puffington Host", a clever parody of The Huffington Post that I read on a regular basis.  [JAM 6/14/2014]
