Yes, you (and I) can. But these are the Extra-Super-duper Concentrate. Nazi sites aren't as toxic, or stupid.

You're not wrong, of course, but as a kid who grew up then, I do think commercials in the 50s/60s give a special, uncanny insight into what white, middle-class America (the ONLY thing defined as "America" then) thought, and how that thinking changed - to my mind for the better.

You're kiddin' me!

(I steal this epithet for Wodehouse, not being a Christian I don't want to mildly swear like one.)

And pretty darn necessary.

Well, I tried.

Hey, man.

Sympathize???

He had a good reason.

"Manifest Destiny"! The Manure of Real White Men!

Museum them - or collect them as part of a larger interest in the period, and it's OK by me.

It's an "education" - not as directly horrible as touring the Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum or the Old Slave Mart, of course, but a peep into the ideas that lead humanity to such acts.

And the YouTube comments there want me to see humanity eradicated in the most painful manner possible. They are possibly the dumbest, most uncreative assholes ever.

It's racist as hell AND a damn good cartoon. That annoys me.

Commercials were WAY more important than now. If you read Lynda Barry, she often has kids singing the jingles or using the tag lines, which is what her/my generation did constantly until we hit high school.

"Stoney"

I loved that song as a kid, as did my best friends, the Hernandez brothers (not the famous ones, though I met them much later.)

"…certain aspects of life, things weren't that bad."

I could not manage that with my boys after age 8. Mangas had them ready for every twist or craziness, I am afraid.

You can say that, with some validity, to every Heston film. You are not watching Kurosawa or Ford. It is what it is, very great if looked at from a certain angle.
