That first sign seems more appropriate on a Catholic church these days.

Seems legit.

OMG, the text in that Jello ad, I can't even.

That's some of the most teeth achingly horrific ish I've ever read.

SMDH, for real. Damn, I'm embarrassed to be white!

IKR? And that's not even the worst thing I've seen. People had some serious issues back then. Well, still do, obviously, when people totally lose it over a Cheerios ad with a mixed-race family! At least the ad agency wasn't actually promoting racism that time.
