Chris Christie: Breaking Band
EAT, WEIGH, GUV DEPT.
New Jersey Governor Chris Christie recently revealed that he had undergone lap-band surgery in order to help him get down to his “goal weight” of a svelte 535 pounds. We salute his newfound resolve to lead a healthier life — but, given his donut-inhaling history, we’re a little worried about a relapse. But if such a thing does happen, it will at least make for riveting drama.
Pulling the Plug on Oreck Vacuums
CLASSIC MAD DEPT.
Oreck Vacuums filed for bankruptcy today, citing deteriorating sales and management departures. The news should come to no surprise to MAD readers, who were tipped off to Oreck’s sucky product way back in 1998.

MAD Debuts New Viagra Ad
MAIL ENHANCEMENT DEPT.
Good news, pervy shut-ins! Now you can order Viagra online and have it delivered right to your home! You’ll never have to put on pants again! So, to sum up, a great day for weirdoes — and a terrible day for their mail carriers!
Happy Birthday, Sigmund Freud!
Today is Sigmund Freud’s birthday! (Hmmm, that’s funny how close it is to Mother’s Day...very telling.) And we can think of no better tribute to the father of modern psychology than to share a few gags from the classic MAD article "Get a New Psychiatrist If..." (Admittedly, we’re terrible when it comes to thinking up tributes...)

2nd Anniversary of "Weekend at Bin Laden's"
CLASSIC IDIOTICAL DEPT.
Can you believe that today marks the two-year anniversary of Osama Bin Laden being killed? To recognize the occasion, we thought we’d share our blog post from the original event! Wherever he is, we’re sure he’s looking up on us, smiling.
Martha Stewart's Honest Match.com Profile
IT’S A GOOD ZING DEPT.
With high-profile stars like Zach Braff pitching projects on Kickstarter, it was inevitable that other sites would also begin hosting notable celebrities desperately in need of...not money, but companionship! It seems that even a one-person conglomerate like Martha Stewart needs some help meeting the guys! (At least she didn’t go to Craigslist!) Of course, on dating sites, being truthful is prized, and that’s why we think “glue gun” Martha should go with our suggestions for a tell-it-like-it-is approach!
