Buygone Ad of the Week: Ladies Love Cool Jeans
In the 60s, on scorching summer days, cool hepcats wore groovy turtlenecks to the beach—turtlenecks and far-out striped Levi's bellbottoms. Here, two mods, their balls sweating like steamed dumplings, look like they're ready to rumble with a blanket full of freaky-haired free-lovin' rockers (note the clenched fists, taut neck). Meanwhile, Bikini Becky performs the de rigeur mating ritual of the time—seductively posing directly between the legs of her lust target. The ad has such tension: Are they gay? Are they lovers? Are they barefoot? And seriously, what are they looking at? A lifeguard? A school of dolphins? A kite flying competition? They must fucking hate kites.

Back in the '60s, everyone knew that kites were for commies.

Why is a woman hiding inside a vaginal symbol created by a man’s legs?
God the 60’s were confusing!

I think they're waiting for the Triffids to return (cue shrieking violin chords). Then they'll run to their E-type Jaguar and go warn the city behind those rocks. The girl will scream in terror with her hands before her face like noone really ever does, but they forget about her. Hey, they're gay, whaddya expect?
