All metal Tonka trucks painted with lead based paint and no blinking lights or sound effects.
Black and white movies.
AM radio stations that only play music.
Rock music that is actual rock music.
Games played on a table, not a screen.
Books made of paper.
Models that sucked (but you weren't aware they sucked
).
Going to A THEATER, because that was the only way to watch a movie. And lining up, because if you missed it, you were not going to watch it later.
Porn mags (because that was how you got porn
).
The Bugs Bunny Road Runner hour was cartoons, there wasn't anything else either. No sexual inuendo, no need for parents to care what you were watching.
Comic books were for reading, not collecting in plastic fucking bags.
Being grounded was the end of the world, because no kid in his right mind wanted to spend all day in his god damned room.
