Er, put on some sun glasses and go check out this site.
A tribute to the design gone wrong sensibilities of the 1970's. Not a loving tribute but a sarcastic, hilarious review of the crimes of the decade. Enjoy!

Crikey. That's a crime against eyesight! *goes to fix an alabama slammer*
There are some things there that I'd want... *blushes*
I hope not the shaved cat butt painting, though, Prin-or the killer yellow walls.
I want that "They have high hopes" sign. lol Or the "No cameras allowed" one. They had some pretty funkily morbid signs and posters back then. Like the poster in my grandparents' cottage that said, "Nobody would dare bomb this place and end this confusion." Ingrained into this brain forever and ever. lol I want one of those. You know, the opposite of a motivational poster but so messed up that it makes you laugh? lol
And I want the giraffe with bell bottom feet that's on the desk beside the fake peaches...
I kind of like Jaundice McFrog, too.
Hmm. I thought you were my friends! *cries*
The funniest is the wallpaper in the "teenaged girls room" one. We had similar wallpaper in our old house in the kitchen. The kitchen was like 15'x20'- huge! And it was on every wall.
One day, during one of the three day parties we had as teenagers while the pops was gone, a few people dropped acid, and one walked into the kitchen, saw the wallpaper and passed out. It was pretty funny. When she woke up again, she went back into the kitchen and sat on the floor facing the wall for the rest of the night.
Somehow I think that was the designer's intention. :D
I agree-it seems like designed assumed that everyone in the 1970's was either smoking pot or dropping acid frequently, and so they designed to accomadate it.
TD-my Mom collects frogs and I know she doesn't have an acid yellow goofy frog pencil holder.
