I love how they say "possibly crib death", Like why hedge your bets on that one? Speaking of anti-rock nonsense, there was that one comic where Batman hates it:

twistedmentat posted:Christians eat this poo poo up uncritically; "Why would they lie?" they really loved this guy for a while. thank you, Jack Chick, for educating me about John Todd. quote:Todd was arrested in May 1987 for the rape of a University of South Carolina graduate student. After his arrest, he was additionally charged with sexually molesting two children who attended a karate school where he worked. He was convicted of the rape in January 1988 and sentenced to 30 years in state prison.[16] In June 1988, Todd, through his defense attorney, requested the return of a pair of pink women's panties, 64 photographs, two survival knives, a knife sharpener, a handgun, 99 cassette tapes and three copies of Todd's book 'How to Build an Ark: A Practical Guide to Survival'. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Todd_(conspiracy_theorist)

Oh man, my folks were into all that back in the 80s, they had a bookshelf full of that kind of conspiracy and eschatology stuff. They even had one on satanic toys: I remember that one the most thanks to sneaking peeks at it and uncritically accepting anecdotes about things like a little kid's troll doll coming to life, I was terrified of those things. They moved quite a bit back from that by the 90s, but it was a very weird thing to have sort of sitting there in the background. On the music side, it had some fallout like us just not really listening to even older rock music until high school age. It felt like a big step to start listening to even the Beatles, and I spent way too long vaguely assuming bands like Pink Floyd were all in some sort of imagined "offensive metal" genre. It was a very weird time and I'm glad to be past it, I imagine a lot of it being pre-ubiquitous internet added to it a lot.

That's just weird. Ah yes, Yeshua ben Yusef of "you cannot love both god and money" fame, would surely think that bad words in songs is the biggest threat facing 80's full-bore hypercapitalist america.

Yeah, I think it was a mishmash of early generation 1 Transformers back when they were pretty blocky, I think it's just a halfassed ripoff of ones like this guy:  Lord Hydronium posted:Was He-Man just that Satanic? Oh absolutely, He-Man was at the top of the forbidden list just on moral grounds. Everything was weird, they were all using magic, and the badguy was a skeleton man!

I never read the book but I've watched the full length video adaptation Philips made, titled Deception of a Generation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZ7AQyE5DOY The section on Barbie is great because he doesn't have any satanic connections to make, he just delivers a boilerplate bit about body image stuff! Also a highlight: watching him call forth satan with a voice changing feature on Skeletor's castle. Of course it ends with a sales pitch for the audiobook of Turmoil in the Toybox.

Reminds me of a coworker who told another coworker he was “awesome” which drew a pained look. Person B later corrected him in private - he wasn’t awesome, Jesus was awesome.

Archive dot org has some nice archives of Fate, kind of random order: https://archive.org/details/fatemagazine The Luminist archives have a full collection up to 1962 but that's just barely past what you said: http://www.luminist.org/archives/OC/FATE.htm I've managed a pretty good spread with eBay lots, got some gap years and almost nothing pre-1960 but honestly I'd say I have at least 65% of the output from 1960-1990.

I'm more curious about that northernmost furry enclave in Alberta. I don't know how many fursuit owners a dot represents but it's very interesting that whatever tiny-rear end city that represents has enough of them to show up.

Youtube randomly recommended me an old documentary about Bigfoot and I kind of fell down a rabbit hole of '70s Bigfoot stuff that I wanted to share with the thread. I was born in '83 but I watched so many of these kinds of documentaries on TV, or VHS, or in cheesy roadside attractions and visitor centers in rural Washington, Oregon, and northern California during summer vacations with my family. Here's "The Mysterious Monsters" from 1976 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xi99qwgUsZI "Monsters! Mysteries or Myths?" from 1974 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vgyRiJaQHAY and "Bigfoot: Man or Beast?" from 1972 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3H1Go48jL8M There's just something comforting about this kind of paranormal media. stereobreadsticks has a new favorite as of 16:45 on Dec 14, 2022 |
