Who’d have thought I’d see the Hawaiian shirt re-resurgence? My detractors just don’t understand. 
Ever’y ten years, kid.

I ain’t no battyman but if I was this lot would be my top 5, right here:

Now, those of you that know me, know I’m really manly and shit. Apart from being shit scared of all insects and planes, and not being able to do anything with my hands but type 5,000 words a minute and deep-rub boots #7 protect and perfect on my face, every hour, or so. 

D.I.Y. Fuck off, mate.

One time, in the past, I took a gay test and turns out I’m 40% gay. I’m cool with that… sounds about right.

I don’t think it means 40% of your sex’s have pee-pee’s. No, it means, that if I was 11% more queer I’d be a proper little shirt-lifter.

Anyways, since it’s Saturday night and I have my Cosmo beside me I’d though I’d share with my three or four readers (Hi Mum) the top 5 best looking geezers in the world, in my 40% opinion.

In no particular order, other than descending:

V:James. Tiberus Kirk

I like Kirk for lots of reasons. The fact that his middle name’s Tiberius is just the most important one.

That new Kirk from the JJ. Abrams version ain’t bad, I suppose, but he’s seems to in touch with his emotions (now that’s fucking gay) for my tastes. Modern, Kirk, prick.

I like my men to be manly, to have people die around them every week but still take red shirted lambs to the slaughter week after week, to be able to scream Kaaaaannnnn! with great passion, to fuck green ladies and have the first interracial kiss on TV with a really fit black bird.

And, I have no doubt, Shatner hit that in his trailer in real-life before looking at Mr. Sulu and winking. Sexy-arse 23rd Century misogynist.

IV: Bob Marley

Despite the fuck that he’s ‘alf a Scouse this dude is pretty as fuck and most importantly his mind is beautiful (Wow… very gay!).

I can just imagine me and Bob being married living in Jamaica, man and smoking weed all day and cursing Mussolini as a fat little prick. “Make the trains run on time but you’re still a bitch, fat man. I smoke weed all day and look at my six-pack. Italian wanker” etc.

Talking about fitness… have you seen any footage of him playing football, i just wish he was in 1970s short-shorts?

Shame, Bob died two years before I was born and from what I ‘ear… really liked the skirt. Can’t blame him, really. He was a beauty.

III: Vince Vaughn

I can imagine me and Vince getting boozed up at a Cubs or Blackhawks game, shouting lots of manly shit about sports then going back to his high rise overlooking Lake Michigan or my crib in Humboldt Park (Doubt it) and getting real “comfy” in a jacuzzi.

I like funny men. He’s a funny man and he’s from Chi-town so I wouldn’t have to go to far to get my kicks. Also, Chicago accents are fucking sexy. You ain’t breathing if you don’t agree with dat fucking cheezzzborger shit.

II: Don Draper

He’s so conflicted. Don Draper what a good looking dude. That hair, those tight suits, the way he takes of his hat and coat when he gets home to Betty’s dinners, smelling of lunch-time poonanni.

Deep down, Don’s a good guy. He’s smart and creative and he’s a challenge. He’s sexy because the one that can make him not be a cheater saves him. I’d save the fuck out you Draper… if only Oprah was around in the 60s. 

I: Bruce Springsteen

The boss of 40% of my heart.

Let’s face it, America is the sexiest country that’s ever existed. There’s a reason why so many immigrants came/come here.

Lady Liberty’s still fucking red-hot. Come here and be a taxi driver for a few years or make a load of green-backs and feed the beautiful myth.

Bruce is the personification of this land. He looks, sounds, and thinks like America. To “feel” Bruce you’ve got to be American, that’s how you know you made it, baby. You’re in, you little yank prick.

Watch some Youtube shit of Bruce (not that one with Monica from friends though… it’s distracting) and you’ll see what I mean.

Even if you don’t (probably because you’re a little stoopid Euro-Peon) look at those fucking beautiful sweaty arms glistening

Oh, Brucey boy! 11% more and I’d push you’re shit in, you lucky bastard. I love you por vida. xoxo.

“In the end… Nobody wins, unless everybody wins.”

chancentrate:

Celebs getting SERIOUS for a telethon - always had a jones for this shit. I like to make a game out of who will break face and smirk first. You can usually make your money with Diaz cos even when she’s not smirking, she is; that mouth is too goddam big to keep straight.

don’t be an arse, bruv. checkered shorts, (may be boxer shorts, ain’t sure) a black shirt, un-tucked seems to be the mantra of this ‘ot some-a. flip flops would be too little and combat boots too much— so i’ll fuck with some white nike high-tops, yeah.

ssshhhhhhhhhhh! I love you.

Depressed Ad Men? Advertising in the Olden Days

Analyzing Advertising for the American Dream: Making Way for Modernity, 1920 - 1940 by Roland Marchand

 

Marchand sets out to discover the extent that advertising reflects the values and hopes of society. Looking, specifically, at 1930s America he concludes that advertising reflected “public aspirations rather than contemporary circumstances, to mirror popular fantasies rather than social realities” (xvii).

Modernity was a fundamental concept for the way Americans saw themselves coming out of the Gilded Age. Moving into the Twentieth (the American) century innovation and invention thrived and was regarded in the highest possible esteem.

Advertisers realizing this “proudly proclaimed themselves as missionaries of modernity” and consistently “championed the new against the old, the modern against the old-fashioned” (xxi).

This was, of course, a benefit to them since their job was to sell ‘new’ things. Over the period of examination Marchand discovers that advertisers began emphasizing the consumer over the product, which he describes as a more sophisticated way to sell modernity.

‘Look how much this product makes your life better’ was the mantra of the day. Depicting products in an “upscale” setting was a favorite way to create desire for a Depression-era audience hungry for escape from struggle and monotony.   

Marchand, however, does not subscribe to the “hypodermic-needle” theory, a branch of thought from the Transmission model, which suggests people simply sop up and can’t defend against media messages.

He believes that media repetitiveness can help develop frames of reference and acknowledges that advertising is unique in the media family because of its rhythmic relentless messaging. Advertising, Marchand says, “may have shaped the audience’s frame of reference all the more effectively for being passively absorbed rather than actively contemplated” (xx).

The refining of advertising techniques during this period was coupled with a technology expansion. Radio bloomed during in the 1920s and cinema was arguably at the peak of its significance during the Depression.

The advertisers of the day had a broader platform from which to reach people. They used this platform to sell a dream, as they “explored the possibilities and perils of acting as intimate advisors to the fickle, suggestible, and inexperienced masses of economically enfranchised customers” (xxii).

Marchand began his study assuming that advertising provides a historical porthole into the past, which he later describes as“naïve optimism” (xv). Examining over 180,000 ads, from numerous publications, between 1923 and 1937 Marchand comes to the conclusion that people do not want a mirror but a Zerrspiegel.

People don’t want to be exposed to “reality”; they want a reassuring façade. They want to sold on a dream and advertisers recognized and exploited this truth as far back as the 1930s.
