David, The ad WAS in National Lampoon....I have the issue somewhere in my archives. Both VW and Ted threatened to sue, however due to the 1st amendment, neither VW nor Ted could do anything, because the ad was in fact considered "protected" speech.

There was, in true Doyle, Dane, Bernbach tradtion, some copy below the headline referring to Ted's pre-crash activities. Ric
