It's peculiar looking back, sure, but this was also the era in which Linda Ellerbee, a respected newscaster, was shilling for Prodigy, a not-very-respected-but-VERY-early online service, and Harlan Ellison took an ad for the Geo (cheap compact car) so he could say the word "EVOLUTION!" on national television.
