I am sure that most people are aware of this overtly suggestive ad for the Mega Drive:

My question is this: Does anyone have a citation for what magazine, issue, and hopefully page number that this can be found? I need the citation for an essay that I am working on. Thanks in advance.

I found out that it was in Viz, a UK comic mag. I am looking into what issues and pages.

Here's another one in the same vein.

No idea where it's from, other than "some british publication" (due to the price being given in pounds)

As far as a citation?

Good luck, they were in all sorts of mags at the time. I doubt you could find any single specific reference. Couldn't you cite the website?

Well, honestly, I am not supposed to be looking on the internet for the ads that I use. I have found other ads for my essay in some other magazines, but I remembered the Sega ones and wanted to use one. I figured as long as I had the proper citation it would be okay.

It's from VIZ, a British comedy magazine/comic. Don't know what issue or year.
