Circuit City suits aren’t laughing over MAD’s ‘Sucker City’ spoof
THE NEWS TRIBUNE
Published: August 5th, 2008 01:00 AM
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.”
