CHUCKLE AD RULES
Read through the Classified Section of the Michigan Daily. Use
3, 4, or 5 lines from the various advertisements and put them together
so that they have an entirely different (and amusing) meaning.
WHOLE LINES MUST BE USED
Then paste the advertisements from which you have used WHOLE
lines on a sheet of paper. Underline the lines used from each ad. Below
write your completed CHUCKLE AD.
Write your name and address on the paper and bring or mail it
to the Michigan Daily Classified Department.
Only one entry to a person is accepted each day.
For the best CHUCKLE AD we receive each day through October,
we will'give a FREE ticket to the Michigan, State, or Campus Theatres.
If your CHUCKLE AD is printed, come to the Daily and pick up
your ticket.
BE SURE TO READ THE RULES CAREFULLY,
Maybe it's just us, but this ad does not paint a very flattering picture of student life back in the fall of 1961.
Weren't the'60s a time of upheaval and unrest? Who were the students who stayed back and spent their afternoons
cutting and pasting from the Daily classified section? Didn't they have social lives back then? Didn't they have
homework?
But perhaps we are missing the true spirit of the '60s with our cynicism. Maybe the Chuckle Ad contest was
hepper than it now appears to the Beavis and Butt-Head generation. Maybe if you play it backwards it reads "Paul
is dead," or some other such phrase. Maybe it is secret drug culture code language for "Drop lots of acid, man."
Notice that only one entryper person is accepted each day. This suggests two things: first, that there were
actually people who wanted to enter more than once per day; second, that they was a regular crowd of Chuckle
Ad makers. Where are these people today? Did they graduate and immediately go on to work at the National
Enquirer, where they could move on to creatively cutting and pasting lines from actual news stories? Or did they
never leave Ann Arbor at all? Could they still be lurking at Daily pick up points around the campus, anxiously
awaiting the next day's classified section? Are they surviving off the hope that someday if they make a lot of really
good Chuckle Ads that maybe the Daily will reintroduce this complicated (BE SURE TO READ THE RULES
CAREFULLY) contest?
If so, we at Weekend etc. offer some words of advice. Find a new calling 'cause it's just not gonna happen.
We hear the Ann Arbor News is hiring. Anyway, tickets at the Michigan, State and 'Campus' Theaters are not that
expensive. Come by the Arts office with your best Chuckle Ad. Maybe we'll sport you a few bucks.
