"A Sony Betamax! Or a TV video game!"
No Northeastern holiday season was complete without Crazy Eddie's Christmas Blowout Blitz!

Crazy Eddie went bankrupt in 1989. Eddie fled to Israel the following year. And he ended up spending seven years in prison. And here's a snippet from a CNBC program earlier this summer. Anyone catch this?
To catch up with other advertising icons like Wendy, Mikey and Little Debbie, head over to mental_floss to read the list.
