AKA Pseudonym posted:During the old TV show they wanted to run a commercial with Lois Lane and Clark Kent eating some breakfast cereal together. The censors wouldn't let them because that would imply they'd had sex the previous night. So they replaced Lois Lane with Jimmy Olsen, problem solved. Okay, I get that it would be because 'they spent the night together and then ate together in the morning before parting ways' but that's such a weird implication. If you saw two people eating breakfast would you really read that much into it?

The 50s were so prudish you couldn't even show married couples' bedrooms with a single bed because god forbid anyone think a young married couple was boning! Television Standards & Practices censorship has always been more than a little weird.

Leave it to Beaver had an episode that required showing a toilet for plot purposes and there was a huge argument about how much of the toilet they could show.

Just to clarify, according to Snopes the network was very reluctant to show the actual bathroom, let alone a toilet. In the end only the toilet tank was shown onscreen.

Cage posted:Sorry, I didnt realize antennas were now half spheres that sit in the middle of your trunk now. Might be a diddle that senses light and adjusts your console/headlights appropriately. My car has one, but it's a lot smaller and just above the dash/under the windshield. However, I know very little about cars, so maybe it's an antenna.

If you guys are talking about the circle under the brake light, it's just an emblem. It's a throwback to the Mustangs of the '60s when that was the gas cap.

oldpainless posted:Superman is indestructible so he's just forcing people to do poo poo for his own amusement cuz I mean what are you gonna do, its not like you can stop him or anything. This is basically the premise behind the comic Irredeemable. The Superman-analog in that world decides one day cracks the shits at the world and says, gently caress it, who's going to stop me? Then he rampages through his hometown and levels it, and does other delightful things such as pushing the island of Singapore under the ocean.

It's very weird, but also pretty awesome.
