ObscureCraft friend-without-a-website Joe [editors note: Joe actually has a website] sent along this fantastic link to a past slideshow about the future - wha?!  The website features selected slides from a 70s IBM presentation about the future of computing.

Everyone knows that, of course, the 70s are hilarious (Will Ferrell has basically made a career out of this), but there is something else about this website that caught my eye.  Check out the last slide.  What is this guy looking at?

70s-man.jpg Himself in the mirror, doing his impression of Robert DeNiro in Taxi Driver, which he just saw yesterday, because it's the 70s.

A Democrat.

A brylcreem salesman.  I'm a pomade man.  Now get out of my sight.

A feminist.  She's liberated, all right - liberated to do what I say.  Marlene, get out of frame and get back in the kitchen.

The price of gas. 40 cents a gallon? STFU.

A teenage boy with long hair and a van who just showed up to take his daughter out.  Maybe if you get a haircut.  No, Mary, go back upstairs. GO BACK UPSTAIRS.

At you.  You got a problem with that, bitch?

(Got a better one? Post it in the comments.  The winner gets a prize, maybe?)
