Circuit City bans Mad, restores Mad, apologizes to Mad

After finding itself on the receiving end of a devastating parody ad that redubbed it "Sucker City," Circuit City banned the August issue from the 40 or so locations of the chain that carry magazine. Then, perhaps realizing how stupid this made them look the Circuit changed its mind and apologized. Newsarama has the whole story, which originally broke over at Consumerist, where you can also read the devastating takedown behind the brouhaha.
