Behold this creepy ad for a voluntary swine flu vaccine from the 70′s.

While the creepiness is timeless, the relevance comes from the recent 21st century outbreak, of which it is impossible to not be aware if you are reading this on the internet.

Remember, transferring the disease is as simple as making eye-contact, so, much like encountering a gorilla, remember to freeze in your tracks and stare at the floor if you encounter a coughing individual, taking great care to not flare your nostrils.

Are you too stupid to work a blanket? When the blanket falls off of you, do you look down at it, confused as to why it’s no longer on you? Would you like the blanket to follow you around?

Ding A magical Snuggie appears on your body.

There, now you can do everything but go out into public. Wait, where are you going, don’t go outside! People will see you!

Other uses for the Snuggie include: Suicide cult start-up attire; shirt; dress; robe; graduation gown; bride’s maid gown; suit and tie.

Act now unless you are unable to extricate yourself from your current blanket.

In this commercial for Crazy Gideon’s, Gideon demonstrates that he can be trusted with your valuables, and that he will provide prompt and courteous customer service.

Unlike many pawn shops, which we think this store is (Gideon has been cryptic on the matter), there is no camp or cheapness about the operation. From head to toe, Gideon runs a tight ship, attending to exacting details, such as displaying electronics alphabetically by brand name, and even flashing them with the latest firmware.

Gideon finds his inspiration from an unlikely source: Martha Stewart. ‘It’s obvious they tried to bring her spirit and style to their TV commercial,’ an industry insider said.
