Porn Slipped Into Wash. Time Capsule
Apr 27 04:07 PM US/Eastern


SEATTLE (AP) - There were a few surprises for the University of Washington's Class of 1957 when they opened a time capsule sealed 50 years ago.

Among audiotapes and copies of the yearbook and school newspaper were porn, a condom and some dirty underwear.

Alumni opened the capsule earlier this week in preparation for a public unveiling Saturday during a celebration of the 50th anniversary of the university's communications program. The capsule had been placed in an interior wall of the then-new Communications Building in 1957.

The capsule is being replaced by another created by a student-faculty team.

"The good news is that all the things that were in there are still there," said Jerry Baldasty, chairman of the Department of Communication. "The interesting news is that some other things were added."

(not much) more...

3. Let's run a DNA test on those dirty drawers!! That'll tell the tale!!!

Ah, youth, indeed!! That's a hoot!

[Zywiec]

4. That is just awesome!

I wonder what kind of porn was available in 1957? I'd love to see it.

[karlrschneider]

5. Probably National Lampoon

;-)

26. Priceless

Ah, wonderful! A few years ago the BBC's "Friday Night Armistice" featured a sketch where presenter Armando Ianucci & crew snuck into the (BBC TV children's magazine) Blue Peter garden and replaced the buried 1970 time capsule's contents with porn etc. Art imitating life. They must be so proud. :)

8. this?

12. Remember ladies, MM wore a size 14 and every man

wanted her.

Now, unless you're made to feel inadequate if you're more than a size 6. :crazy:

Which makes me wonder about those NutraSystems commercials. Why are the men fully dressed (in golf clothes), but the women all have to be in bikini's?

[tandot]

17. I am a size 14 and have no problems with it.

...neither does my fiance...he loves each and every curve :evilgrin:

[bettyellen]

23. today's average size 6 was called a 14 back then. unlike's mens's clothing women's sizing

and the range offered has changed much over the years. that's why size 0s wee unheard of 6s were teensey. :shrug: i have size 14 wrangler clamdiggers from that era that are 4/6.

[Clark2008]

11. I was wondering that myself.

Would it be the equivalent of what Reefer Madness was to the drug culture back then?

:rofl:

6. I was just hidin' them magazines from my Mom.

[CrazyOrangeCat]

9. Now THAT's a time capsule!

[madokie]

10. I was in the third grade I think, anyway I wished I could remember the number I guessed

what tulsa population would be that day.

[TlalocW]

13. I'm in Tulsa too

I'm looking forward to seeing how much porn they were able to put in the backseat and trunk of that baby.

21. bookmarked

thank you, I love the Belvedere

can't wait to see the unearthing

[provis99]

14. cool! for the new capsule they can put in new porn! Like the Ken Starr Report

[jbonkowski]

15. They have the story wrong; stuff added in 80's

Someone tampered with the capsule in the 80's, and that is when the porn, underwear, and condom were added.

[robinlynne]

19. Porn from 1957 would be funny and quite benign, I imagine.

20. JUST SAY NO to Drudge RW Pal Breitbart

If you want to read this story, click THIS link instead:

Clicking Breitbart links give $ to the reich wing.

[babylonsister]

24. I didn't know they were r/w.

They provide articles from different sources (AP, Reuters, etc.) Can you provide a source that has late-breaking news that isn't r/w?

[Matsubara]

25. A lot of people don't. It's a phony news site.

Drudge refers to it as though it was a real wire service, it doesn't have opinion pieces or run RW ads, but Breitbart uses the funds he makes for his right-wing causes.

They are bast pals going way back.


But it's not a real wire service, it's an unnecessary intermediary between the news agency and you, and a cash cow for a Rovian pig.
