No More Lost and Damaged Comic Books When Shipping MEDIA MAIL?!?!?

General, HIV & AIDS, Legislative Branch

CULTURE

Commercials can be annoying today, but they’re nothing compared to the incredibly offensive stuff ads used to get away with in the early days of consumerism.

It’s easy to forget just how different things were back then. But in some cases, things weren’t just different. They were downright horrifying (at least from our modern-day viewpoint). Take how they used to do perms, for example. That seriously looks like a machine out of “The Twilight Zone.” Getty Images googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display(‘VN_PG_DCBM_BTF’); }); While it might look pretty freaky to us, back […]
