You can’t unsee it.
People in 1973 saw a woman who was walking out of the water because that kind of porn wasn’t as readily available. People literally had to travel to a theater to see it most of the time.
It hadn’t occurred to me at all in 2026, either but the brain rot is strong in you.
The ad is a bizarre ad in other ways, because putting a diamond brooch on a swimsuit is stupid.
They actually had a contest to choose the new official color in 1995! The choices were blue, pink, and purple.
I voted for purple.
CD head is in Hellraiser 3! I know because I just finished watching it an hour ago. It also features the cenobite woman who constantly smokes cigarettes from her throat, which is very silly.
I think 2 only introduces one(?) cenobite, the elderly doctor. 3 inteoduces 4-5 new cenobites, some of which are really unnecessary.
You’re not wrong that 2 gets goofy, but 3 is where it starts to get brutal.
They even give “pinhead” little quips to say in 3 to make him more like Freddy Krueger. I didn’t hate 3 but it felt like a considerable drop from 2.
Not technically a promotional poster, it’s an internal recruiting poster!
It says “talk to your General Manager.”
Which is more interesting, to be honest. Like, it looks like a magazine ad almost, where would they put it?
Jimmy Page used the Univox UX-1501 live in the early 1970s (looks like literally 1972 actually) according to the gear list on GuitarLobby. Notable is that you could use the amp with up to 4 speaker cabinets, which was useful for overseas tours.
You can also see him standing to this exact amp in another Univox ad from the same time period from Led Zeppelin’s website.
He’s using two cabinets in the other image as well!
Oh, we can update the ad!
Now change your shoe carpet color… as easily as your nail shoe color!
Surely painting your shoes like this didn’t work well.
I don’t think so. I think they were called that because of their shape and their dark color with parts of the skin on. It’s not uncommon to name foods after body parts (ladyfingers come to mind).
The mascot above doesn’t have toes.
This is actually great because I’ve thought way too hard about whether it would count as lumber.
I finally got to “yes, in the same way as Lincoln Logs are ‘lumber’ because they’re building toys.
…Did you read the interview? The guy even works in accessibility in the UK. He’s complaining he can’t wear a shirt to work because it’s also a reference to disabled people.
Your lack of empathy is horrifying. Tell us more about bias while chanting “USian.”
The origin of the software’s name doesn’t matter. It’s the impact it causes.
Yikes.
Disabled people were colloquially called “gimps.”
The man being interviewed is from the UK and works in accessibility.
So it’s really not hard to understand why people wouldn’t want a word clearly associated with disabled people on a shirt or something.
Was “squeeze” also an intentional pun? If so you’re really milking it.
Holy crap, isn’t that the truth? The worst thing about GIMP is its name.
Oh no I missed it!! I am so sorry.
I have since gotten it and appreciate it. Lmao
That’s next level, I’m sad I missed it
I believe Kenner would have replaced it, as the manufacturer of the toy. You’d call or write Kenner, send them the broken part, and they’d return a new part.
The warranty is actually on that “We Really Do Care” card. It probably looks something like this (after some quick searching)
This is from KennerCollector.com here.
There’s also a XXX Root Beer in the midwestern U.S. that’s been around since the 1920s! It’s quite good.

Here’s an old sign as well
Galveston is on the eastern seaboard(?) of Texas so maybe “drinks with Xs” came up the coast
I unironically still love this game, but the version they released on some of the “Advance” games (like Super Mario Advance) are better than the original because it has more modern controls.
But it actually holds up surprisingly well!
I love the illustrations of the different enemies!
I was curious about this and how it related to Gold’s Gym, which had a similar logo and became an iconic brand in the 1970s and 80s. My first thought was “did they totally rip off Gold’s Gym??”
It turns out that the founder of Gold’s Gym sold the rights to the name in 1973, regretted it, and then created World Gym a couple years later.
So no wonder it looks the same and also features Arnold Schwarzenegger!
Wikipedia article about World Gym.
And sweet pickle relish! (Shudder)
The recipe is in the corner! It wasn’t uncommon for food ads or the back of packaging to have an insane recipe with it.
On the back of a recent box of Cheez-Its I bought, it had a picture of Cheez-It salty cheese crackers on an ice cream sundae. wtf??
I’m not 100% sure anyone eats most of them but it’s an ad, so it gets someone’s attention.
Sit him down with… hot dog corn spider
Keep dreaming! I kinda respect the dedication to brainrot delusion but I don’t have a lot of time for it.
There’s literally no way a team of people in 1973 thought “cumshot!” Facials weren’t even common until much later, let alone this “dodging” you refer to like it’s been common forever.
Like, literally your example is “the late seventies.” This was in… the early seventies. Before videocassettes and the proliferation of accessible porn.
This is all on you, and I find your arguing tiresome.
