You know what your problem is? Not enough yeast. I suggest increasing your beer intake.

"Dig this crazy mixed-up ice cream!" "Man, it's real cool!"
Yeah, because beatniks like Maynard G. Krebs eat a lot of ice cream!

What kind of kids would a shellfish and a bottle have, and how would they go about reproducing?

Follies of the Mad Men #44
Either a 20th-century man's shoe has been transported through time back to pre-Columbian America, confounding the primitive redksins, or else some 20th-century Native Americans on some especially traditional and cloistered reservation somewhere are incredibly ignorant.
Or, some Madison Avenue genius thought this was brilliant.

The Faces in the Broccoli
Cascadian Farm sells frozen organic broccoli florets. That's not particularly unusual.
But look closer. Can you see the tiny disembodied heads floating amidst the broccoli bits?
When contacted about it, Cascadian Farms offered this reply:
The tradition of hiding names or faces on Cascadian Farm packaging began over a dozen years ago. It was unspoken tribute by the package design department to the friends & family of Cascadian Farm. The faces won’t be included on our redesigned packaging.

This appears to be an ad for a brand of French chewing gum. I'm not sure if the notion of a pair of used panties from the Statue of Liberty is adequate enticement to chew the company's product.

Yet another "disease" that Madison Avenue tried to foist upon the public.

Baby Laugh-a-Lot
Could this commercial have been the inspiration for The Exorcist?

Man with Giant Penis Head Commercials
Once again we must ask: "Who knows what the French are thinking?"I assume these videos (three more after the jump) are some kind of public-service announcements. Anti-AIDS...? But where are any condom references?
