On a related note, I am quite upset at similar satire franchise, MAD right now. They did an issue where they parodied Happy Tree Friends, which actually got me quite excited but the problem is:THEY GOT EVERY SINGLE FREAKING THING ABOUT THE SHOW WRONG! Being a fan of the criminally underrated gore cartoon, I was naturally quite excited to find out that somebody finally cared enough to parody it (an extremely popular long running magazine nonetheless) but when I realized how little they even care about the show, I was very disgusted. My main issue is that the cover showed the characters being tiny, of course they are animals so they're obviously going to smaller than humans. But no, this cover made them the size of freaking gummy bears:literally tinier than Spongebob. Spongebob is a fish.........how could a squirrel, a beaver, or a freaking moose be any bit bigger than him? They also compared it to South Park which, in all honesty:is a pretty lowbrow comparison. If they'd ever even seen HTF they'd know that it's not sexual like South Park, sure the violence is there but the rest of the things that make South Park controversial are nowhere to be found on HTF. The large amount of research failure makes me feel like they shouldn't even parody something if they don't what the hell they are even talking about. I normally like MAD (except for when they mock God and Jesus), but this was just dumb. It made it extremely obvious that they aren't HTF fans and basically got me excited over nothing. Oh and by the way, HAPPY TREE FRIENDS AREN'T THE SIZE OF FREAKING GUMMY BEARS! I don't know what was going through their heads when they drew that cover, but I know one thing:It ain't accurate.
