BURGER ZING DEPT.
Fast-food employees across the county are walking off the job this week to protest their lousy pay, though it doesn’t seem likely their demands for more money will be met. Which makes sense: Fast-food chains have many more important priorities than paying employees a living wage.
When asked by a reporter recently what he’d do if he found out a priest was gay, Pope Francisanswered, “Who am I to judge?” The Pontiff’s refreshing non-condemning tone was welcomed by many and may have set the stage for the Holy Father to do further outreach to the gay community.
INSTASHAM DEPT.
The MAD offices were host to a number of MAD luminaries (we use the term loosely) on Thursday, including Paul Coker, Drew Friedman, Tom Richmond, Teresa Burns Parkhurst, Desmond Devlin, Tom Bunk and Irving Schild! And in case you don’t believe us, we’ve got the photo to prove it! (Click the image to make it bigger!)

PICS OF THE LITTER DEPT.
While at the San Diego Comic-Con, MAD Art Director Sam Viviano and Associate Art Director Ryan Flanders spied none other than Game of Thrones scribe George R.R. Martin eating breakfast right next to them! After rehearsing their Dothraki, they screwed up the courage to approach him for this Celebrity Snap! He was a great sport, even turning his famous hat sideways "Aflred E. Neuman-style." Thanks, George! Now stop goofing around and wrap up that heptalogy!
CARLOS DANGEROUS LIAISONS DEPT.
When we ran the first version of this ad two years ago, we assumed that Sexter would run for a single season before being cancelled. However, now that more dirty messages and nude shots of Anthony Weiner have turned up (dated a full year AFTER his initial sexting scandal broke) this show has been renewed...even if his New York mayoral hopes are being cancelled.

YOU STAY GASSY, SAN DIEGO DEPT.
San Diego Comic-Con 2013 has come and gone, and the Usual Gang of Idiots were there in full force. Here are some lowlights from the convention floor.
CHEATER RIVERA DEPT.
On Sunday morning, Geraldo Rivera tweeted a nearly-naked selfie, proudly proclaiming, “70 is the new 50.” (To which we proudly proclaim: “Both are still gross to look at.”) However, despite Geraldo’s pride in his appearance, we’ve learned that not all the work on his body was done at the gym! After doing a little cyber-research, we were able to find the original, untouched selfie!
