    It’s light up time? Were ad men in the 50s concussed monkeys? Did their next ad for waffles go on to say “It’s eating time”, followed by their ad for soda that said “It’s drinking time”? Oh, maybe they did a car ad with “It’s driving time.”

    They probably coasted for years on simple verb descriptions of the activity until one guy from another firm was sober enough to concentrate on his job for more than 12 seconds.

      I swear there’s some sort of exta-evolutionary thing going on with human intelligence. I know it’s not true, but people sure looked goddamn smooth brained in today’s light. Not even mentioning social awareness, but that is a large section of it.

      All over culture and media, things almost seem childish at times. Like that’s really what hooked/entertained us back then? Complex culture has to build up from somewhere, but damn.

    Allegedly unfiltered cigarettes are healthier than filtered because you don’t take as big of drags and don’t breath the smoke in as deep.
