Circuit City suits aren’t laughing over MAD’s ‘Sucker City’ spoof
Circuit City Stores Inc. temporarily banished the irreverent MAD Magazine from its store’s shelves for poking fun at the consumer electronics retailer.
But the Richmond, Va.-based company said Monday that “some overly sensitive souls at our corporate headquarters” had the August issue removed after seeing the four-page spoof of “Sucker City.” The spoof features an ad for the Nintendo Wii “Guaranteed In Stock … if you’re friends with an employee who hid it in the back for you.”
