Monday, September 29th, 2008 – running time 05:09
Josh is back with more old comic book ads. Really old, from Green Lantern #51, from 1967.
In this classic old Green Lantern comic book, Josh peers back in time to see what we can learn about the youth of the past, looking through the old ads in this vintage issue. It turns out that 41 years ago, young boys did a lot more than watch TV and play video games. Also, why the disrespect for the armless?

Highlights
video games ( 3:58 ) TV shows ( 3:59 ) Kingdom of Bhutan ( 2:48 ) bargain price ( 0:46 )
