Subject: Poster Trivia - Need Help!
Written By: Lsh1482PA on 04/14/03 at 10:39 a.m.
A local radio station runs a "five-question quiz" every week day morning. If all five questions are not answered correctly, the pot increases $5/day until all questions are answered correctly. The pot starts at $100 and currently is over $600. One question has not been answered correctly since the beginning in December 2002, here it is:
Who or what is featured on the number one selling poster of all time in the U.S.?
Some of the answers given were wrong; Farrah Fawcett, Marilyn Monroe, smiley face, Uncle Sam - I Want You, Twin Towers, Say NO to Drugs, Poker Dogs, For Sale, etc. Here are some comments the DJ made: "Boy, you guys are going to kick yourself when you hear the answer" and "When you hear the answer you're not going to believe me, but it's true". I heard a hint that it is from the early 1980s and that it fits both the "who" and "what" portion of the question.

What about that picture of the tennis girl scratching her bum? Seem to remember something about that being one of the top selling poster here in the U.K. anyway

I remember reading once that a poster of Heather Locklear (or possibly Heather Thomas) in a red bikini outsold Farrahs famous poster. Could it be one of the Heathers ?

cs was correct! Finally the trivia question was answered correctly this morning. The individual won $715 for answering E.T. That individual was not me. It was hard enough to get through to be the 25th caller. Thanks for helping me.
