If that's a picture of him, his whole face does NOT indicate perfect happiness!

Yeah, I don't even either.

[nekusagi.livejournal.com]

...wut?

[katiefoolery.livejournal.com]

I'd like to write a meaningful comment, but I think my brain has been broken by this ad.

[keristars.livejournal.com]

Wait, so this is what, a Ye Olden Times version of a capsule toy?

[boomdiada.livejournal.com]

What the f'ery?

[aj-hyena.livejournal.com]

I dropped my pizza onto my keyboard when I saw this and it took a minute and a half for my brain to reboot.

[another-life81.livejournal.com]

lol I like your icon, is that King Krush?

[aj-hyena.livejournal.com]

Took me four months and several tries to tame the bastard, but yeah.

[pandora-nervosa.livejournal.com]

Gratz on the taming!

[another-life81.livejournal.com]

GRATZ! I got Arcturis today and logged on about five mins after reading your p ost only to find King Krush up.

I tagged him and had to ring my boyfriend to come tame him lol. He's been camping for about two months now.

Dixieland pinata?? KKK Kinder egg?

So wrong.

[overlord-mordax.livejournal.com]

>>KKK Kinder egg

Comment is win. XD

[samtyr.livejournal.com]

My mind, she is blown.

[randomneses.livejournal.com]

Ugh no. Whacksauce.

[air-and-angels.livejournal.com]

The description reads like Chris Onstad from Achewood wrote it in an attempt to be deliberately unsettling and odd.

[gwenyvere4.livejournal.com]

Yeah, seriously, for what purpose do you need these, let alone a DOZEN of these? Favors for the next KKK get together?

[smelyoko.livejournal.com]

WHAT.

[farranger.livejournal.com]

You could probably sell a thousand of these at the next Sarah Palin rally. Those Tea Party grandmother types would think they were adorable.

[horrorsale.livejournal.com]

vintage racist ads make me all warm and fuzzy inside.

[fallconsmate.livejournal.com]

OT: I gives you an Internets for the way your icon broke my brain. Srsly.

[seamonkey-mags.livejournal.com]

Every time I see it I just have to stare and cry a little.

[whoseline_wlsc]

:O Whaaa?

[stormer1-1.livejournal.com]

Isn't that special.

[bernthewitch.livejournal.com]

Ugh. Kurt love.

[marchenland.livejournal.com]

Oh, my God.

I went looking online to see if I could find a photo of the toy, but nope. They are probably very valuable now.

(Not really commenting on whether something like that SHOULD be valuable, mind. My mother collects old toys, and she says boy dolls and African American dolls/toys are much more valuable, mostly because not as many were made and because people didn't consider them worth much, so they didn't survive.)

[phantomessj.livejournal.com]

Dear Lord!! What is this douchebaggery? "His white eyes flash..." Buh?

[clavally.livejournal.com]

He was a Goa'uld, obviously.

[roeskva]

That's what I thought too...

[suzycat.livejournal.com]

He is ROLLING them and practicing for when he is verbal enough to go "lordy massa don't beat me" OF COURSE.

This is... I can't even believe this is real.

[fynoda.livejournal.com]

This needs the "OH LAWD" tag, and badly.

What a weird ad...

[koneko-wish.livejournal.com]

Woooooooow. One can ALMOST forgive ads for OTHER things, that just FEATURE this horrible style of depicting people, but a toy created JUST FOR THAT?

Mah brain. It hurts.

[bernthewitch.livejournal.com]

Oh my.... I have no more words.

[maereth.livejournal.com]

I... I... *bzuh*

[fledgist.livejournal.com]

Oh. My. Goodness.

[juliannamkh.livejournal.com]

Wait...wut?

[seamonkey-mags.livejournal.com]

And who *wouldn't* be happy under these conditions? Sigh.

[talonvaki.livejournal.com]

...

On the other hand, I am insanely curious about the "Complete tool set in a nutshell" now.

[creative-excess.livejournal.com]

Most everybody here has touched on the "OMGWTF" aspect of this item, so all I can say is: writing the ad copy in the passive voice was such an unprofessional idea! "Upon opening the watermelon...is found..." Such awkward grammar.

[bitterlawngnome.livejournal.com]

It was normal at the time for high class products like this one.

[lifetaketwo.livejournal.com]

What, "pickaninny" wasn't offensive enough? They had to add "darky?" Oy.

[spyderfyngers.livejournal.com]

There are similar things in The Wellcome Collection in London, only Japanese. Little ceramic fruits that open to reveal three people shagging. Perplexing.

[tanwen.livejournal.com]

Couldn't even decide on one spelling of darky.

[baron154.livejournal.com]

Dear "The Past",

Not forgiving you this ghastly ad. You knew what you were doing.

Sincerely,
GFY

[siddles.livejournal.com]

How old is this ad? And WTFF?
I can imagine the copywriter laughing his head off when he wrote "the whole face indicates perfect happiness".
