Cardboard Time Machine to Hell

A number of years ago, a co-worker and I were hard at work at our Hambone Industries warehouse space. It was dusty and unpleasant conditions. Until we discovered a box of 30 year old Village Voices. It was as if we had found a cardboard time machine. I was instantly taken back to a simpler time, when Crazy Eddie ruled the marketplace and America was just beginning to learn the beauty of Reaganomics. The advertisements were my favorite part. There were great old ads for the Intellivsion games of my youth, cologne I was way to young wear. One of the only reasons I enjoyed going to New York City as a kid was to go to one of the two Forbidden Planet stores. They ran great ads on a weekly basis. The film section is where I lost it though. Great looking movies I'd never heard of, classics I had playing on fantastic double bills. A wonderful ad for Basket Case offering a free McDonald's Hamburger to the first 100 people. A Sir Run Run Shaw Kung-fu Festival! What a time to be alive. Anyways, I now present to you a few of the treasures from this bygone era.
