Japanese TV Ads from the 50s to the 80s. Pretty awesome. They are all from an interesting looking exhibit on Japanese beauty/consumerism. You've got to check out bottom middle, its awesome. [Real Video format.] Link via Click Opera (One small image on Click Opera is rather fuzzy NSFW. You can still look at the page and just scroll past it. Your boss won't see. I promise.)

  • Shotsy--Wow--so much to explore! Besides the tv stuff there are excellent Japanese Deco sections and other juicy things. Thanks!
  • Your boss won't see. the logging proxy server, however, sees all.
  • I like the bathing marionette (third row down, center). If I were a marionette, I'd hit it. Notice how she washes her own strings? How postmodern of her. And the one with the swan dancers and the Kitaro music (third row, left column).
  • Suddenly, Chris Cunningham's sensuous automata look bland and cold by comparison That marionette ad is quite good. You can feel the warm wood texture... *cough*. But... why, why, WHY RealPlayer? Anyone knows some method to save Real streams?
  • Flagpole, on the Click Opera page you can download the ref files, which is the next best thing... but yeah, i was annoyed by that too.
