Mad Magazine Takes A Jab At Apple Maps With A Fake New Yorker Cover


Apple Maps is so bad even Mad Magazine is making fun of the disaster with a parody of an iconic 1976 New Yorker cover. And it would be even funnier if it weren’t so close to the truth.

In the 2012 Mad Magazine parody of Saul Steinberg’s cover, Lexington Avenue is New Jersey, half the Brooklyn Bridge is underwater, and Texas has moved just across the Hudson. Maybe Apple Maps doesn’t get geography right, but at least Mad is spot-on about the failed iOS 6 venture. [Mad Magazine via Laughing Squid]
