It's not a gadget, it's a book! But there's a digital Kindle version too.
Inside MAD, An Ill-Conceived Collection of the Magazine’s High-Quality Stupidity from the “Usual Gang of Idiots” and Their Celebrity Fans. (Yep, I'm in the book too.) Features Special Introduction by Judd Apatow and 17 Celebrity Guest Essays.
For more than six decades, MAD Magazine's irreverent humor has warped the minds of countless readers. Now MAD's legendary writers, artists, and celebrity fans pull back the curtain, or lift up the venetian blinds, or some window treatment analogy like that, to share and comment on their favorite MAD spoofs of all time in Inside MAD. Contrary to popular belief, not everyone who wasted their formative years reading MAD wound up as a complete failure. Despite having their minds irreversibly rotted by the magazine, some readers actually went on to be, well, successful! And now, for the first time ever, these successful readers share what reading and appearing in MAD meant to them! Roseanne Barr, Ken Burns, Dane Cook, Paul Feig, Whoopi Goldberg, Harry Hamlin, Tony Hawk, Ice-T, Penn Jillette, George Lopez, David Lynch, Todd McFarlane, Jeff Probst, John Slattery, John Stamos, Pendleton Ward and Matthew Weiner all ignored their management’s advice and contributed essays to Inside MAD. But wait—there’s more! (Regrettably.) To get the perspective of highly unsuccessful people too, MAD – an imprint of the much more successful DC Entertainment – invited its own editors, writers and artists to share their all-time favorite MAD articles. Contributors include: Sergio Aragonés, Tom Bunk, Tim Carvell, Paul Coker, Jack Davis, Dick DeBartolo, Desmond Devlin, Mort Drucker, Mark Fredrickson, Drew Friedman, Frank Jacobs, Al Jaffee, Peter Kuper, Tom Richmond and many more. (Not to be confused with noted writer Manny Moor.) As a bonus, Inside MAD also features an all-new, specially commissioned gatefold poster by Sergio Aragonés illustrating the mayhem of the legendary MAD offices and a never-before-reprinted Alfred E. Neuman pop art poster! MSRP $29.99, but it's cheaper online.
