i like looking at retro tech/obsolete product advertisements because you can just appreciate the aesthetics and artisitic value without feeling like you're being propagandized into making a purchase. like there is zero chance i am going to go out and buy a magnavox odyssey in 2023 because i saw an ad for one and even if i did the company that made the ad would make no money from it. so all the effort that went into making this image, in an attempt to make it marketable and profitable, it's just cool art now. almost completely decommodified by the mere passage of time.

Huh. The idea of advertising evolving into art as a function of time is interesting to think about.

Feels like it's very predictable, like a math equation or law of physics. With enough time even the most insubstantial, tacky, even exploitive advertising seems to gain artistic value.

sex isn't sexy unless it's a little bit gross. have you forgotten that you are a divine ape? plastic smooth skin, plucked hair, painted faces, scripted reactions, scrubbed til only the smell of perfumed soap remains, proportions that are conflictingly cookiecutter yet unattainable, none of this is even a little bit interesting.

you can laugh at napoleon's "home in three days, don't bathe" letter to his wife, but there's more sexuality in that one line then there is in the entirety of the hypersexualized but painfully unsexy internet.

i wish there were more than 24 hours in a day and beverages were $1 and growing up didn’t hurt so much
