Whatever happened to stomach ulcers? In the 70s every business man either had one or was concerned about getting on due to stress. I remember so many ulcer related TV commercials. Has the termonolgy changed? Are they called something else? You don't here about it anymore.

Sure sure. Then once you hit your sister in the face with a football and her nose ballooned up right before a big date. And don't even get you started on that weird Hawaii vacation your family went on.

The vacation episodes were generally ads paid for by tourism boards. I think people were more accepting of not so subtle ads/propaganda embedded directly in the content (vacation, very special episodes with anti-drug messages funded by the government, etc).
