This installment of Video of the Day comes from our friends at the Franklin Avenue blog:

Franklin Avenue writes:

From 1981: An ad for the Los Angeles Times -- get a load of the size of that newspaper on the driveway, as a dog lifts it up with his teeth. Can't remember the last time my weekday paper looked that big.

Also in this clip: An ad for In N Out Burger, plus a couple of promos for KABC/Channel 7.

Anyone remember these images?
