Submitted by Madeline L

Ah, the good old story every school librarian told you at some point. It’s basically the Chinese version of ‘little Timmy fell down the well!’. A little boy falls in a well and he has the ridiculously long name (an ancient Chinese 1st born son tradition) of Tikki Tikki Tembo No Sa Rembo Chari Bari Ruchi Pip Peri Pembo

Willie and Millie

Submitted by goodcleanliving

Oh, the days of yesteryear, when child-friendly advertising icons plugged everything great about the USA; from cigarettes to beer to liquor! Notice Willie, the bisque constructed “Dr. KOOL.” On the left you see a pristine set of S/P shakers. On the right, a razor disposal cup that suggests that KOOLS will smooth out your cough. And the Willie and Millie scatter pins, so loyal smokers could “Brighten up your dresses, your suits, and sweaters, too, just the way that KOOLS do brighten your smoking taste for you!”

White Men Can’t Jump


Submitted by Justin B

From Wikipedia:

Billy Hoyle (Woody Harrelson) is a talented former college-level basketball player who makes a living hustling streetball players who assume he cannot play well because he is white. The ‘hustle’ is even more provocative because, although he appears ‘goofy’, Billy never plays-down his skill to increase the stakes; it is the African-American basketball players’ own assumptions that are at the root of the hustle. In the opening scene Sidney Deane (Wesley Snipes) loses a game to Billy in front of his friends on a Venice Beach, California, basketball court.

The Original Zelda Commercial


Submitted by Colin F

This makes me nostalgic not just for the game and old commercials but for a time when companies had no idea how to market video games, because the field was relatively new and the graphics were such a bad representation of the ideas behind them. Take a look at the art from boxes and manuals at the time for confirmation. “Really? That’s what an octorok is supposed to be?” Plus I’m pretty sure this actor hadn’t played the game when they shot this.
