My cousins had a large collection from i guess the 70s and very early 80s that i read a lot. My mom and aunt had read them too. So one day i bought a new one at the store and brought it home and my mom found it. There was a parody of Edward Scissorhands, and one of the topiaries he made was of a middle finger. I didn't know what that was as she described it (flipping the bird). Apparently that was enough to get it banned in my house. Incidentally, i got a parent teacher meeting for bringing some stickers from one of my cousin's Mad magazines to school. There was a "POINK" onomatopoeia with a lady's boob and a wardrobe malfunction on one of the stickers, and this was enough to warrant the third degree. Mad magazine was pretty tame, i never got the puritanism exhibited by everyone around me, especially since they had read the magazine when they were young, and their kids, too, but i read the same ones and suddenly it's taboo?
