Another Thing
Second in an occasional series
I find it depressing when corporations use New Yorker-style cartoons in their New Yorker advertisements. On page 24 of the current issue of said magazine we find the following:
This sadly incompetent attempt to disguise a commercial message as urbane wit makes me want to sleep until 3:00 PM, eat two bowls of ice cream, and then take a nap.

This is very funny.
However, I wonder if your sadness is actually stemming from the fact that the fake New Yorker cartoons are funnier than the acutal New Yorker cartoons.
