I found the Prelinger Archives online, allowing one to few several thousand movies, advertisements, after-school specials, and other educational films made between between 1927 and 1987. It’s very humorous to watch old films, especially from the 40s and 50s, teaching duck and cover, how to properly date, and coaches teaching kids about the birds and the bees.

One information film titled, “Perversion for Profit” links pornography with communism as well as justifies homophobia.

“This moral decay weakens our resistance to the onslaught of the communist masters of deceit.”

I enjoy reviewing old stigmas from decades past, mostly for the humor that nostalgic narrowmindedness can bring. Of course, it leaves me wondering what some of these people would think about the internet, since everyone knows the internet is for porn.

Wichita is still stuck somewhere in the era of the early 50s, what with a city-wide ban on new establishments of adult stores and city leaders still being convinced that adding fluoride to drinking water must be some communist theory to spread cancer.
