Ads, ads and ads
Posted by Andy Sjostrom in "OFF-TOPIC" @ 09:00 AM
Seen any interesting ads lately? No? Try funny! I recently paid Old-Computers.com a visit and came across their "Stupid Scan" page which brings forward many vivid memories from the 70s and 80s. How about this portable PC, the "DAI PORTABLE SYSTEM"?
My other five favorite scans are:
"GOLITE FAMILY" Mean.
"LEAVE ME SOME ROOM!" How politically incorrect can an ad be?
"PLAY SOCCER ON YOUR TV" Flying as Henrik Larsson...
"I JUST COME BACK FROM JOGGING" Wig!?
"ATARI AEROBICS" Watch that disc drive!
Also, don't miss the "Kitchen Computer" on the first page! "The Kitchen Computer was obviously geared towards housewives who loved to cook. However any housewives who wanted one of these had to shell out A LOT of green, considering the Kitchen Computer sold for $10,600 when it was first introduced (You could buy about four new cars for that much money in 1965!). This price tag included the built-in recipes, and also included a cookbook and an apron!"
I wonder which current ads will make it into tomorrow's "Stupid Scan" list? Any suggestions?
