Not Ada related, but I couldn't resist. Sometime in the late 70's there was a
series of billboards with the theme "Everybody Needs Milk". One showed an
attractive, skimpily clad young woman with a glass of milk. I was living in
the Twin Cities at the time. Someone climbed one of those billboards in the
downtown area and painted across it : "STOP USING WOMEN". Some months later,
there was another billboard (I can't remember if it was another "Milk" add)
that featured a cartoon drawing of a pirate to sell the product. Someone
else, with a keen sense of what would in the future be called "political
correctness" climbed that board and inked the message: "STOP USING PIRATES".
