The Mystery of the "Good taste is the last refuge of the witless," according to one Marshall McLuhan. Always striving to avoid being counted among the multitudes of the witless, we publish as much tasteless satire as we can create. We also add, in each issue, a goodly helping of tasteless humor material that we don't create, our ever-popular "Tasteless Jokes" department. Countless hours are spent slaving over a hot computer each month as we seive the countless really, really awful jokes on the Internet, seeking a few choice ones. We have two criteria for the jokes we publish: 1) They must be tasteless, and 2) they have to strike at least two staff members as funny. Being human, we are always unsatisfied with our present lot. Thus, to ensure that we remain outside McLuhan's definition of the witless, we have surreptitiously added tasteless cartoons to each issue. Cllick on the little red dot lurking at the bottom of the column on the front page of each issue, and you'll find yourself transported into the very depths of tastelessness: dirty cartoons. Please note: like the jokes, the cartoons are not our creation. They come from even more hours of combing through the vast amount of unfunny detritus on the Internet, in search of a few good visual jokes. Surprisingly, we do find a some. As for copyright, all we can do is say we get this stuff fourth-, fifth-, tenth-hand. If we're stepping on anyone's copyright, let us know and we'll either delete the offending image or offer suitable emolument.
