1985 - Rock Hudson "Mystery Illness" Posted by: beegib
Video duration: 170 seconds It's useful sometimes to see history play itself out as it was happening. In this case, the news coverage of Rock Hudson's "mystery illness." As we now know, he had AIDS, but you can see the hedging that goes on about it. Related: 1985, aids, hudson, news, rock |

Weird Al Live - Yoda Chant Posted by: beegib
Video duration: 120 seconds Weird Al Yankovic live at the North Fork Theater, Westbury, NY, June 2, 2007. Amazing video and audio considering it was taken with a tiny little digital camera (Sony Cybershot DSC-W70, movie mode, 3x zoom). Also, notice Al moving slightly from left to right on the screen. The North Fork has an in-the-round stage, so all during the show the band was rotating! Related: al, live, new, ny, weird, westbury, yoda, york |

1990 - Ginsu 2000 Posted by: beegib
Video duration: 90 seconds Behold the future! And you can tell it's the future, because the Ginsu Knife has the number 2000 in the LED font. All it lacked was a grid for extra future-icity. Related: 1990, ad, ads, commercial, commercials, ginsu, knife, television, tv |

1982 - Civil War Chess Set Posted by: beegib
Video duration: 121 seconds From the National Historical Society of Gettysburg, the commercial claims, the original Civil War Chess Set. If it really was as detailed as it appears to be, it looks like it was a nice set to own if you're into that sort of thing. I looked around and most of the other similar sets these days don't look as detailed. Related: 1982, ad, chess, civil, commercial, television, tv, war |

Megway, Better Than Segway! Posted by: beegib
Video duration: 52 seconds Some unknown entrepreneur invented this brilliant new transporation device back in 2001, going by the date stamp on the file I stumbled across on my hard drive recently. Who knows where it came from? Who knows who made it? All I know is that, right before the Segway was launched, some people felt the need to mock the very idea of such a thing. Go figure.

1984 - Rain Dance Car Wax Posted by: beegib
Video duration: 32 seconds Sometimes it isn't a good idea to try and sell a product by taking its own name literally, as in this effort to dress a man up in blue vinyl, put some tap shoes on him, and have him execute a choreographed routine on a car hood.
