ITEM [via BoingBoing and Make The Logo Bigger]: When the aliens arrive a thousand years from now and sift through our radioactive ashes to see what kind of civilization we were, one they’ll learn from the computer archives is that in 1970, Earth females were hot for Earth men in slacks – who would then consummate the courtship by killing them and making rugs out of them.

Ad copy:

Though she was a tiger lady, our hero didn’t have to fire a shot to floor her. After one look at his Mr. Leggs slacks, she was ready to have him walk all over her. That noble styling sure soothes the savage heart! If you’d like your own doll-to-doll carpeting, hunt up a pair of these he-man Mr. Leggs slacks. Such as our new automatic wash wear blend of 65% “Dacron®” and 35% rayon–incomparably wrinkle-resistant. About $12.95 at plush-carpeted stores.

O, those he-man copywriters of yesteryear. Truly they don’t write ‘em like this anymore. They wouldn’t dare. Unless it was in the context of a Ron Burgundy film.

Slacks motherfucker,

This is dF

this kind of ad and the fact that people would call any tee "wife-beater"... things you could get away with.
