My Best Blog Buddy Forever, Mr. Dante Fontana, is back on the job at PCL after a long hiatus, and submits this gem of Seventies self-improvementiana from the Livejournal Vintage Ads community. I can't wait to order this and release my "inner good looks", since Lord knows I don't have much in the way of "outer good looks" to release...

Hanford Lemoore exacts his horrible revenge on Dr. Tiki (from Tiki Bar TV) at Forbidden Island in Alameda with this extremely clever prank involving the house jukebox.

Iowahawk's satire is right on the money with this comic-book ad parody aimed at the Yale Art School student who artificially inseminated herself multiple times, then induced miscarriages in order to "encourage discussion" of abortion.
As a former art student, I can't tell you how tedious (and typically batshit insane) the attention-junkies behind these sorts of political "art" statements can be, as well as the professors who encourage them. All I wanted to do was learn how to paint, draw, and illustrate. Instead, I got 3 years of forced indoctrination. UItimately, I had to transfer to a tech college and get an electronics degree in order to clear my brain.
