In Modern Culture
Gone with the Wind has appeared in many places and forms in modern culture. It is the book that S. E. Hinton's runaway teenage characters, "Ponyboy" and "Johnny", read while hiding from the law in the young adult novel, The Outsiders (1967). MAD magazine created a parody of the novel, "Groan With the Wind" (1991), in which Ashley was renamed "Ashtray" and Rhett became "Retch". It ends with Retch and Ashtray running off together. A pictorial parody in which the slaves are white and the protagonists are black appeared in a 1995 issue of Vanity Fair titled, "Scarlett 'n the Hood". In a MADtv comedy sketch (2007), "Slave Girl #8" introduces three alternate endings to the film. In one ending, Scarlett pursues Rhett wearing a jet pack.
