Don't.  Embrace our history.  Or at least make fun of it because it is quite ridiculous.  ;) ;D

Probably a rerun but perhaps not


No worries my friend.  Repeats are still as funny as the originals.  ;)

It's why Robert Crumb got in trouble for strips like this...but it really wasn't far off the mark, especially when you consider that he probably saw legit ads like this growing up.  :D

I'm not familiar with Robert Crumb.  Please enlighten me via PM if you wish.  :)  Or here actually...it doesn't matter.  ;D

Not only can you carry home a symbol of the Tree of Life to celebrate the birth of Our Lord and Savior, you can also

Well aldous...that's the reason all these people made these dumb ass ads.  Lead poisoning.  :-\  ;)


If someone ever gets a time machine cranking, I think a Bellgab Boy's Night Out is called for to see this
premiere back in Detroit.
