By now, you've heard of Rich Will Wanket (his real name!), the real-estate agent in Minneapolis who created the ad above, playing off his name's masturbatory connotations. We wrote about the ad last week. Since then, new information has emerged. It turns out the ad isn't that old. It ran in July (in the local edition of The Onion, appropriately enough, though it's not a joke ad). And it apparently got Wanket fired from his job at Edina Realty.
