I knew that they had promoted MAD-related items, but I didn't realize that
they had been selling ad space. I don't remember seeing any.. when I heard
the story on the radio they said that it was for the first time (and that
was my understanding previously) so.. sorry for spreading misinformation!
I still think it sucks.

>      
>         First Software
>         Big Top Records
>         RCA
>         United Artists
>         JC Penney
>         Little Brown and Co.
>         Spencer Gifts
>         Parker Brothers (numerous times)
