Contest Entry
Mar. 4th, 2011 02:46 pmpikkewyntjie.livejournal.comI said I wouldn't post any more entries, but what the heck. Slow day.
When I first saw this ad, I thought, "Diapers? Wipes? Butt paste? Gotta be something for the baby." No?
Oh, men's shirts. K.
The baby's butt cheeks' being two different colors is kinda weird. I'm kinda likin' the belt, although that thing could definitely to leave a mark.
Also, the guy looks a bit like Brian Cranston with a bad toupee, don't you think? Malcolm in the Middle: The Early Years.
1971

Contest Entry: Bone Fone, 1980

I remember this from OMNI magazine in the 70s and 80s, but I don't think it ever caught on. Blame the Walkman.
Contest entry
Mar. 4th, 2011 10:31 pmcactuswren.livejournal.comI've been away for a few days and now must go back and read all the entries, but for your consideration:
Yes, that says "The Eugenic Photoplay". One advertising slogan for this film was "Kill defectives, save the nation and see The Black Stork." It's loosely based on incidents from the life of Harry J. Haiselden, a Chicago physician who refused to perform lifesaving surgeries on "defective" newborns on the grounds that he thought their lives not worth saving.
NPR's summary: "In the film, Haiselden actually plays himself, a wise doctor who attends the birth of a child born with congenital syphilis -- incurable at the time and a major cause of congenital disabilities. Two other doctors interfere, out of personal pride and misplaced benevolence, and try to convince the woman to save the child's life. The woman is forced to choose.
"She dreams a tormented dream of her child's probable future: He grows up physically, mentally, and morally deformed. He becomes a criminal, and fathers a brood of disabled children. He isn't allowed to enlist in the Army ("Uncle Sam won't take anybody who's not perfect"). Aware that he is entirely different from others, despised and angry, he returns to kill the doctors who performed the operation that saved his life.
"After this vision the woman decides to accept the doctor's advice and lets the infant die."
According to Martin S. Pernick, author of The Black Stork: Eugenics and the Death of "Defective" Babies in American Medicine and Motion Pictures since 1915: "Haiselden and his supporters were torn between passionate expressions of sympathy and love, versus, in the next breath, expressing contempt, hatred, fear and loathing for those born with disabilities.... Progressive Americans were convinced that scientists, physicians, could make objective, technically valid determinations, of who should live, who should die. They believed, probably more strongly than any group of Americans before or since that science was capable of making objectively true judgements. And so they could, in the same breath, as Clarence Darrow said, 'chloroform unfit children, show them the same mercy that we show beasts that are no longer fit to live.' "

Contest Entry - MAKE STAMPS OR DIE!
Mar. 4th, 2011 11:30 pmpikkewyntjie.livejournal.comNot my scan, obviously. but I thought it would be a good one for the contest. The version you usually see around the interwebs does not have all the text, not that the write-up helps much.
Basically, it boils down to the dude being ticked off because she wants to go to the ladies' room and gossip instead of talking about postage meters all day. I'm not a legal expert, but I think if he kills her, it would only be a manslaughter charge in most states.
( The text is under the cut, as best as I could make of it. You'll enjoy it if you're a fan of poor grammar and mechanics and pointless rambling. )
