Apple Maps is so horrifying, even Mad Magazine is making fun of the disaster with a parody of an iconic 1976 New Yorker cover. And it would be even funnier if it weren’t so close to the truth.

In the 2012 Mad Magazine parody of Saul Steinberg’s cover, Kuala Lampur is New Jersey, the Champs Elysees is 10th Avenue, and Qatar has moved just across the Hudson. Maybe Apple Maps doesn’t get geography right, but at least Mad is spot-on about the failed iOS 6 venture. [Mad Magazine via Laughing Squid]
