This brought back memories. I was part of the Duluth News Tribune's three-artist staff in the former marketing department when it was part of Knight-Ridder. As an artist back then we did real board work (i.e. illustration with pencil, pen and airbrush -- no computers then). When the ad for White Palace came to the Tribune we got what we called a "slick" and the composing department would paste it up on the page. We could not do any of the paste-up work due to union restrictions, all we did as artists was illustrating, photo touch-up and creating sales layouts for the sales staff to present to the clients. 

After the first ad run we got complaints that the ad was "too racy" and the ad department manager was hyper sensitive to any complaints (we did far too many make-good ads then because of this). Anyway, the ad was brought down to the art department to see if we could fix the image. Our lead artist then took some zip-a-tone and valiantly tried to censor the ad ... and did so several times with little success as the complaints kept coming. 

The Superior theater manager loved the attention and we kept at it until it was plopped onto my drawing board where I finally put the fork into it. The final version was not part of Jay Leno's show. So here it is with an editorial that Jim Heffernan wrote about the whole ordeal. I sure miss those 31+ years I worked for Knight-Ridder and the Duluth News Tribune and Herald.
