Essay 527


Mickey D’s bites Mad magazine with this execution, working off the publication’s famous back-interior-cover-folding-gag. But the results are unfunny and unintentionally bad.

The open spread shows a Black dude in a shopping mall enjoying his Dollar Menu goodies, with an oblivious chick standing nearby. The folded finale reveals the guy surrounded by more shopping bags.

Guess the implication is that Dollar Menu items leave you more loot to spend on other things. But it kinda looks like the Black dude ripped off the White chick’s stuff.
