Wow. What a... Disappointment.
I'll just insert a log of the discussion from my MUX here to sum up. I'm Superman, the Cabbit is one of my online players as well as being on my MUX.

Teroyo-Ohki-B says "Clark, this isn't a very funny issue."
You say "No, its not. I plan to complain."
You say "Its April."
You say "April issues should have comedy in them."
Teroyo-Ohki-B says "Dixie's costume is from last month's cover."
You say "Apparently, though, the majority of the D&D Hobby has become brain-dead stuck up white guys who think "Funny" is anything Adam Sandler does."
Teroyo-Ohki-B says "I didn't like the metatextual bits. "Feat: Avoid getting chinese.""
You say "There's even a bit in there that reinforces the stereotype of the D&D Gamer being a college kid who hides his game from his girlfriend."
You say "Note the "HIS" in there."
Teroyo-Ohki-B says "I want more Bard on the Run!"
Superman-19 is planning to write and complain.
Teroyo-Ohki-B says "I'd like the video game bit to be on Hexen and the chicken spell!"
You say "The Dark! Grit! Angst! crap is invading my real hobby."
Teroyo-Ohki-B says "I waaaaaaaaaaaaaant DRAGONMIRTH!"
Teroyo-Ohki-B says "At the very least, they could have thrown Toon d20 in there."
You say "Something. this is crap that the red-eyed stoners post posting that "DooDz. Mi 20Brb kin kik Orkus' azz." would laugh at."
You say "Maybe they should check the ENWorld message boards... The average D&D player is fast becoming a married professional in their mid-twenties to mid-thirites, a parent and in general, a normal person."
You say "Maybe that's the joke."
You say "Maybe the subtle mis-focus on Bevis and Butthead as the typical player is the joke in the magazine."

And there it is. I'm a long-haul subscriber. I renew in three-year blocks. Why in the world would they take out the humor section... or worse, replace it with things both my 8-year-old and 15-year-old sons (Who are in my tabletop group, along with my wife) remarked: "That's not funny."?
Oh well. Maybe next year.
