If this is the case, I apologize profoundly for my earlier comment. I’m from Europe and have the impression that even the most absurd things are quite possible in the USA.
They completely are (the absurd things, that is. It sucks here, sometimes).
Mad/Cracked/Crazy/Sick/Trash are all similar publications that took extreme satirical takes like this throughout the 60s-90s, though they were all dead by the time the mid 2000s came around, with the exception of Mad, which would cease monthly publication not long after.
I can vaguely remember Mad Magazine. We had that too, but I’m not sure what content it actually covered. My much older cousins subscribed to it at the time, but I can only dimly remember spy-vs-spy comic strips.

My parents bought me Mad every once in a while because they remembered it from their own childhood/youth lol
Honestly, Chick Tracts aren’t terribly far off from this. They’re insane fearmongering nonsense
