We've all seen this meme, entitled "Waiting For Dad," floating around the internet quite a bit by now, but you probably didn't know that it stems from an advertisement for Arrow Casual Wear in LIFE Magazine from 1954 that has since been edited to include the family menacingly brandishing knives. A lot of stuff from the 1950s was pretty WTF anyway, so it seems fitting that people started editing this meme to be a little more dark!
50s
In case you're a person who's ever (for some reason) longed for the values and morals of the 1950s, just take a scroll through this Tumblr thread about some of the disturbing monstrosities that people used to call "food."
Clearly we've got a way to go when it comes to social justice and women's rights, but in years past women were held to nearly impossible standards of beauty and etiquette that seems outlandish in today's world. you won't believe how utterly messed up these old-school ads are!
THE 50'S Ahh, those good ol' days
