BOOM! 1980 Panasonic Boom Box ad

These definitely made some noise. This thing must have weighed a ton with all of those D cell batteries in it!

Featuring Earth, Wind & Fire.

Seeing this ad, I'm reminded of the scene in Star Trek IV when Spock nerve pinches the guy who insists on playing his boombox at full volume on the bus and the passengers heartily applaud Spock. :)

ahahaha, I want to do this to people who do this same thing from their phones now and it sounds even worse.

I know! Cell phones are so annoying! I see so many people walking down the street not seeing a damned thing because their gaze is glued to their stupid phones! It's the equivalent of standing in line as a customer and the phone rings and the clerk goes to answer it, leaving you standing there in the middle of your transaction. Hello! Customer right here! Pay attention to me! Quit letting the phone rule your life!
