After a little research, I found this:
In 1972 National Lampoon ran this parody Volkswagen ad as a comment on the infamous 1969 Ted Kennedy Chappaquiddick incident. Volkswagen sued National Lampoon for using the name, logo and image of a Volkswagen automobile without permission.
One place I read said that after settling with Volkswagen, National Lampoon ran a retraction that said something to effect of "Even if Ted Kennedy had driven a Volkswagen, he still wouldn't be president."
I sure miss the days of freedom of the press and political incorrectness!
