THE THREAD IS MINE muahahahahahahahahahaha

[WillParkinson]

21. For a dead link?

<grin>

Sorry, the page cannot be loaded.

[Ivory_Tower]

2. Wow

I love this image:



So many photoshop possibilities, so little time...

[Bossy Monkey]

5. Yes, it's true; in the 70s computer operators wore tags reading:

Computer Operator

[ForrestGump]

6. Why's he programming a stereo, then?

Were eight-tracks programmable?

[OrdinaryTa]

20. They Wore Them Upside Down

They wore them upside down, so they could refer to them during the day.

[Interrobang]

19. Yeah! Fark the Scienos!

(cough) A slight variation (albeit phonologically similar) to what I usually say! :)

[keopeli]

3. One thing's for sure

The photographer knew how to pick cute boys to promote his product!

:)

[newyawker99]

9. Hi keopeli!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[OrdinaryTa]

18. Now, Now ...

He definitely had an eye ...

[LeftCoast]

4. There's just nothing quite like out of date propaganda

Lol!

[Elidor]

7. Hey, I know this guy

He lives down the block.


Bloody Spew, indeed. Hilarious stuff. Classic Bad 70's.

[Gogi]

8. The first few pictures could have been ...

stills from the "Planet of Prehistoric Women". Who knew going to the grocery store could be so dangerous!

[blondeatlast]

10. LOL! The guy on pg 3 is a spitting image of my husband!

Not.

The text on pg. 13 is a hoot--just what Scientology dogma is all about!

11. The clothes! The hair!

Wow, people actually dressed like that?

The blurbs at the bottom are just as wacky as the pictures are.


Scientology = glorified UFO cult

[cosmicdot]

25. the carpet

OMG

(but, some cool films were made in the 70s - phew)

[Loonman]

27. Well, yeah

In "A Clockwork Orange", after awhile, you don't notice the shockingly cheesy sets.

[underpants]

12. SHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAZAM!

[Caution]

13. I'm sure this has been linked to before but...

FactNet - Great site for Cult Awareness

Operation Clambake - A clearing house of information about he "church" of $cientology.

If you know of anyone involved in $cientology print some of this stuff out for them. It should open their eyes pretty quickly (depending on the level of indoctrination). One of particular interest is the price list for a new recruit into $cientology. How much does $cientology cost?

[Rabrrrrrr]

14. I'm so totally NOT surprised it keeps mentioning money

As a volunteer minister, you *BUY* this book, and then get other people to *BUY* this book...

and then later, when you have your time with the auditor, the auditor is compensated justly for his time . . .

Scientology is such a scam, it makes me sick.

There are other religions I'm not happy about, but even those I don't like, or perhaps even mistrust and despise, none of them, except Scientology, requires payment for enlightenment. SCientology is also the only one that has copyrighted it's "scripture". No other religion does that. But then, Scientology is not a religion, it's just a very clever, and very powerful, scam, that keeps it's "religious" status through some very corrupt and telling and quite liikely illegal means, and of course, the ever-present lawsuits.

[On the Road]

16. Is This the Pamphlet That Converted Tom Cruise?

Seems kind of hard to believe this would appeal to him. It's more John Travolta.

BTW, the authors must have had corporate jobs writing administrative guidelines and Human Resource handbooks. Although they do know how to coin words like "livingness."

[DrGonzoLives]

17. Investigatory technology!

Yes! I've been waiting to get me some of that!

[elcondor]

22. No! Not the Mini-Mart!

LOL, thanks for the laugh, Archae! :D

[Throckmorton]

23. Page 18, the kid in the plaid pants,

my god, its me as a kid. I had pants and a belt like that.

The horror, the horror, I never knew it was the pants that made me angry.

Scientology has save me!!!!

24. In a computerized society where individuality is diminished ...

but, I have my moniker and my avatar (which can be changed at my whim) ... not to mention emoticoms and smilies

:bounce:
:hi:
:shrug:

I am somebody.

[blondeatlast]

28. LOL!

% computers used to have Geiger-counter readouts

[MisterP]

29. Facts about modern life from this:

% without Scientology, boyhood fights always end in blood
% drunks can be oriented by pointing at unframed paintings
% falling restaurant clientele is not due to hideous decor, but a chef POISONING THE FOOD
% childrens' theater can always be improved by spiritual tonal rankings
% police department logos are hand-cut from construction paper
% Ecumenical councils are announced by hand-made paper signs
% druggie hippies have posters at precise 60* angles, and shoot up in front of a candle and a printing calculator

[cosmicdot]

30. Monty Python props are historically accurate

bwhahahahahaha

anthropologists of the future might have their work cut out for them

A 22nd century historian is showing Miles some artifacts from the late twentieth century to get more info on them. The last item is a videotape of Howard Cosell describing a boxing match.

Historian: We weren't sure at first what to make of this, but we developed a theory: When people committed great crimes against the state, they were forced to watch this.

Miles Monroe: Yes. That's exactly what it was.
