Is that a still from Sleepaway Camp?
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

Thinking about that Gong Show clip I posted in Gene's birthday thread, the 1970s was the pinnacle for game shows, right? No smartypants aspect to it or a quick path to instant wealth, just toned-down debauchery reflective of the cultural hangover of the 1960s. Garish fashion and sets and a celebration of inanity with a dash of perversion. It was fucking great. Wolter'll back me up on this, I know.

Yeah, you too can pay off your student loans early if someone give you a good paying job, a home, and a 2nd place to live while you rent out your home.

what reputable publication is this from?
