That one was brilliant. I remember one guy actually got the joke and gave a great tongue in cheek response about the “Marxist” regime there.

IIRC, another congressman actually said we needed to launch airstrikes, yikes.

[QUOTE=Tenar]  
God, I LOVED Spy, even though I didn’t know who half the people they were making fun of even were.

I was a huge fan of SPY, too. I’d like to suggest [RADAR](http://www.radaronline.com/) magazine. I think it’s very close to SPY - irreverent, provocative and clever, although not quite as consistently funny. I cannot vouch for RADAR online, though. I have a subscription to the magazine, and I only looked at the website to give you a link.
