People In the 1950s Were Just Smarter Than Us – Part 1
Comments(0)
There are a lot of people that long for the simplicity of the 1950s. Everything was so much more straight forward, but of course a lot more racist, and sexist as well. White men dominated everything, and I’m sure there are some today that wish it still was that way.
They had some pretty arcane ideas about nearly everything in the 1950s from their joint pain relief to nuclear fallout, and there is no better way to see this than to just watch some educational films from the era.
While today we are a bit more educated on women, homosexuals, “minorities” (if that’s what you still call people), those damn “reds”, and drugs, the 1950s are still prime lulz for us even today. Much more so than they were then.
Here are some of the best 1950s educational films and just how “WTF?” they seem by today’s standards.
Are You Popular? Probably not if you don’t have a matching sweater and scarf you disaster of mix and match.
Diddle-dum-dum…diddle-dum-dum…is prophetic in this one as the way to keep safe during a bombing/nuclear explosion is simply to “Duck and Cover!”. If you played Fallout 3 at all you are well aware this is the way to go, but it appears “scientists” think otherwise.
Do you like to party? Sure you do, but I bet you have no idea how. You know who does? The government. That’s right, they will tell you exactly how to answer the question: “What makes a good party?
Have you ever met a homosexual? I sure hope not because they are dangerous, and mentally ill according to this 50s educational film. They will probably try and kill you if you ever find yourself alone with them. Either that or show you pornography on a fishing trip. Poor Jimmy. Getting arrested for getting raped by another guy. Boys Beware!
