Slwh47696,

Somehow free birth control and sexual orientation counseling are supposed to be bad?

hdnsmbt,

Yes, enjoying sex is bad. God gave you those nerve endings but doesn’t want you to use them because logic.

0ops,

Ok, but that “my ancestor” is shirt is actually sick and I’d wear it

I need that “my ancestor” shirt.

Steve,

My first thought

Moof_Kenubi,

I want the shirt that promotes the concept of Drugs (and also pirates?)

1nk,

Guy looks straight out of the old mad max movies

Broken_Monitor,

Yeah the future looks pretty fucking cool. Free birth control? Drugs and sex? Leather jackets?? Hell yeah

They got the guns right, I guess. But hey, Jesus apparently likes those… isn’t that what the so-called god-fearing christians are preaching these days?

jagungal,

Ah, but you see the “christians” only need the guns because they have guns, whoever the they is at this point in time

VampyreOfNazareth,

Who’s banning books?

If only that top panel was what we got 😭

Something_Complex,

They love to pretend they are persecuted. Usually to justify their own shit

Reddfugee42,

If only

CADmonkey,

Im almost positive I saw this in a MAD magazine when I was a kid?

The only bad thing in the comic are the weapons really which in my experience at least the fundamentalist seem to love.

Cethin,

Strangely the cop isn’t armed. How’s he going to shoot anyone’s dog?

XbSuper,

I mean, the top panel is reasonably accurate. It’s poorly framed, but accurate.

This is Mad Magazine. In the 1990s.

It’s from one of their longest running segments, “The Lighter Side of”

Everyone reacting here is hilarious

If this is the case, I apologize profoundly for my earlier comment. I’m from Europe and have the impression that even the most absurd things are quite possible in the USA.

Steve,

Why /nottheonion is a thing

kboy101222,

Honestly, Chick Tracts aren’t terribly far off from this. They’re insane fearmongering nonsense

DadVolante,
@DadVolante@sh.itjust.works avatar

They completely are (the absurd things, that is. It sucks here, sometimes).

Mad/Cracked/Crazy/Sick/Trash are all similar publications that took extreme satirical takes like this throughout the 60s-90s, though they were all dead by the time the mid 2000s came around, with the exception of Mad, which would cease monthly publication not long after.

I can vaguely remember Mad Magazine. We had that too, but I’m not sure what content it actually covered. My much older cousins subscribed to it at the time, but I can only dimly remember spy-vs-spy comic strips.

Rhynoplaz,

How about the fold-ins! Those were great!

The page would have a Where’s Waldo looking scene, and when you folded it in half, you saw the secret image which was usually the punchline to a joke.

Microw,

My parents bought me Mad every once in a while because they remembered it from their own childhood/youth lol

TORFdot0,

I’ve seen Chick Tracts that look basically indistinguishable from this.

numlok,

Probably because it’s from another religious tract called “Truth for Youth”.

numlok,

I don’t recall Mad Magazine including Bible quotes: https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/fbda6c41-fc1f-48ad-b27c-969586dfbee9.jpeg

Reddfugee42,

Thread op is a liar! Get yer pitchforks!

ted,

Ironically, I can more easily see the kid in the second panel holding a rifle. He grew up to be this:

Mark and Patricia McCloskey touting guns

Asafum,

For whatever reason I can’t stop seeing her as James Bond from an alternate universe where he’s actually a crackhead woman where guys never want to sleep with her but she tries anyway. She takes her martini shaken and stirred on the crack rocks.

Also, horrendous trigger discipline and I don’t even use guns lol

PapaStevesy,

It’s actually really good trigger discipline, if you’re trying to kill someone. Which, let’s be honest, she probably hoped she could.

MuhammadJesusGaySex,

I have a LARGE collection of chick tracts. Which are full of nonsense like this. It would be hilarious, except people actually believe that shit.

RememberTheApollo_,

The conservatives were right, but it’s them holding the guns.

The signs should read “No Birth Control” and “CIS sexual orientation only” and it would have to be the Right Wingnuts holding the guns, that’s their thing making sure more guns get into schools somehow. The monkey shirt would be worn as mockery. The drugs shirt would have to be “We love meth and Oxy!” considering how much that stuff is favored among the poorer conservative areas.

And the Bible panel is just bullshit. The kid is ranting about LBGTQ kids and how they’re all going to hell because the Bible says so.

doctordevice,

They won’t even say “cis” since that’s an implicit acknowledgement of “trans.” The sign would surely say “conversion therapy.”

RememberTheApollo_,

I like your idea better. You’re right.
