It’s that time of year again!

As you may already know, MAD MAGAZINE annually releases an issue that counts down the “20 Dumbest People, Events & Things” of the year. As in previous years, there were no shortage of candidates. This year, the issue will be hitting newsstands on December 20th (and readers recycling pile on December 21st.)

Yesterday, THE HUFFINGTON POST exclusively revealed both the cover and top five items in this year’s “MAD 20”, (a move that instantly qualifies them for MAD’s next 20 Dumbest list!)

Speaking from MAD’s international headquarters in New York City, MAD editor John Ficarra said, “This year we’ve been blessed with some especially fine examples of dumbness – and cursed that we had to live through them! Here’s hoping that next year won’t be filled with so much dumbness. But wait, that would make our job next year harder. Suddenly, I don’t like the way this interview is going. Get out of my office!”

Check out their coverage to see who and what took the top spots and who graces this year’s cover. I’d give you a hint but … nevermind.
