So I was trapsing about the internet the other day, and I found this retro futuristic gem. The moment I saw it in google images, I knew that this would lead to a (hopefully) fantastic blog post. Many questions arise when I see this photo, mainly being-
A) Why is the TV still so tiny even thought it's the future?
B) Why do the windows look into a pool? Wouldn't that make for a sort of dark space? and...
C) What in the God's name is that woman so shocked about?
I have a theory about C: I think that she's shocked/and or dissapointed that her sons wearing scuba glasses to a pool. I'd be too, that kid has to have a screw or too loose. It's either that, or she's seriously shocked at what's happening in that baseball game they're showing on TV. I highly doubt that second one seeing that she's facing the opposite direction of the television, and that's the pictures too small for her to tell whats happening.
Next up in the lineup of retro futuristic madness is the Fridgidaire and "Land of Tomorrow" kitchen of the future. This first clip really made me laugh, because of it's sheer stupidity.
Apparently, the kitchen of the future requires modern dance, and a talent in quick changing. I also love the greenish, droopy, and depressing picture of how the cake is going to turn out. If that is how my cake was turning out I'd be pretty bummed out. Another thing that concerns me about the Frigidaire kitchen of the future is how long that cake took to cook! I mean, if she had time to play tennis, eighteen holes of golf, and get back to the house and change back into that strange house dress of heres, that would've taken at least three and a half hours! Some technology that kitchen has....
As for the "Tomorrow land house of the future" (that's a mouthful) kitchen, there's so much to say. First off, why is the dishwasher
a) on the counter,
b) why do you store all your plates in their constantly, and
c) WHY DO YOU HAVE ALL THOSE WHITE PITCHERS IN THERE!!! I mean how many could you need, you only have one child, and you don't run a hotel or anything like that, so why all the pitchers?
Secondly, why do you need a refrigerator for irradiated food? Why would you even bother to keep irradiated food when you have two other refrigerat.... I mean "cold zones" with perfectly fresh food? How did the food get irradiated in the first place!? So many frustrating things about this kitchen, not even mentioning the butt ugly kitchen. I would definitely hate having all plastic everything, not only is it tacky, but also quite ugly! But I guess it matches the rest of the kitchen... I wouldn't cook in that kitchen if they payed me to do it. Well... maybe I would, depending on the price, I suppose.
Here's my last piece of Crazy Retro Futurism, a fantastic depiction of driving home IN THE FUTURE!
They always manage to make everything in the future look so exciting! Even just driving your car home. I don't care if we're driving in a giant rocket like hover car, it's just driving home so relax! That means YOU little girl in the hover craft.
Well that's it for today, sorry for not posting in forever, hope you enjoyed the post!
