The next issue of Harvard Lampoon (which spawned the National Lampoon) carried a photo of the lunatic striking the sculpture with the caption "Pieta? I thought you said Pinata!"

I subscribed for years. And they were <i>gloriously</i> un-PC. They used to print preposterous fake letters to the editor, and one I've always remembered was allegedly from Eleanor Roosevelt: "Sirs - It is better to light a candle than curse the darkies." I also recalled they had a feature called Foto Funnies or something which sometimes featured a spectacularly endowed young lady who didn't always wear clothing.Stilton Jarlsberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14503164551782304564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7872824448661214592.post-38355773229038853582015-09-07T15:52:17.171-05:002015-09-07T15:52:17.171-05:00@JustaJeepGuy- Absolutely.

I also remember a Chris Miller story called "Night of the Seven Fires". One of the funniest things I have ever read. Certainly wouldn't pass PC muster these days.TrickyRickynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7872824448661214592.post-11509936094580357452015-09-07T13:04:11.904-05:002015-09-07T13:04:11.904-05:00@Stilt and @Tricky,
