Follies of the Mad Men #74
[From Good Housekeeping for December 1949.]"Subliminal" is not the precise word I want here. Not when the coded message is in big red letters.
"Subtextual?" "Off-topic?" "Suggestive?"
In any case, promoting the maxim "husbands beat wives" in a women's magazine was one way of keeping the girls in line, I guess.

2008 Wife-Carrying Contest
Although the most famous wife-carrying contest--the original event in Finland--came and went in July, as you can learn in the clip below, other such events are going on regularly, such as this recent New Hampshire contest.I'm thinking we need to enter a WEIRD UNIVERSE team in one of these competitions. Any volunteers?

Follies of the Mad Men #35
[From Life magazine for June 2 1952.]Yes, in the 1950's every husband and father had to be emasculated in every possible way. Imagine trying to conduct some kind of Tennessee Williams-inspired affair with your local Liz Taylor of the suburbs while wearing these. The laughter would be heard from one end of the motel to the other!
