Memories - Vincent and Bex powders in the little cardboard box of folded paper - shame some of them were removed from sale ... apparently some of the ingredients were highly addictive in those little powder folds

Imagine the outcry if Philips ran an ad like this nowadays?

 

Everything is about decency and not causing offence. Do we live in a better world now?

Oddly enough, although we like to think of ourselves as cosmopolitan and informed, I think we live in an increasingly conservative world. There's a great deal of normal 50s 60s 70s stuff you'd never get away with now, including film and literature.

Film hs got to be better nowadays. I saw a film that was banned in Australia in 1968, when I was in Singapore. The Graduate.

 

If you saw it now you would wonder how it could ever attract the attention of the censor. It denigrated the church.

I don't disagree...but there was a grittiness about some writing, also some films, from that period, nowadays although there are things that may shock more, we seem to prefer glossy stuff.....I don't know how to explain it.

Easy on the eyes ... One of those things could take an eye out.

When I was a kid, the censors (must have been in the US) had banned " Wake up little Suzie" but not banned "Tutti Frutti, I wanna Rooty"

 

Why was this?

I always thought it was "I want her booty".
