Your Own Psychoanalysis Kit

[bondwooley]

Everyone needs a break from Prilosec and Paxil these days. So here are a few of the funniest, most misguided, sexist, dangerous and just plain stupid mid-century PSAs to perk us all up. Terrible as the senseless shootings and the Republican candidates are, these will help you remember that we've come a long way, baby.


Let's get started.

1. Do You Have the Guts?

Find out what our patriotic parents and grandparents were supposed to do when the big one dropped.

2. Perversion for Profit

Once a person's perverted, there's no turning back.

3. Body Care and Grooming

Watch what happens when our sexist hero encounters a real-life monster.

1. Now you youngsters know why we old Boomers turned to drugs

The funny part is that this whole mindset still exists in parts of this country.

You can also hear the bullshit in #2 from most pulpits across the country.

This was pervasive, though, when we were kids. Drugs were our only answer until we discovered hell raising.

3. I skipped hell raising but made up for it with the pot in college....

2. Wow, they are all disgusting.

I actually think the girl in the last one is attractive. I certainly don't need some dolled up woman to make be act like a human being--but apparently back then men needed that.

4. I don't remember

These particular films, but I saw a lot like them growing up. Even then they seemed a little odd. And that's back when dancing cigarettes on televison seemed normal.
