What were the 80's like?

[Zorral]

The summer of the Thriller tour.

And of course the greatest film for teens and pre-teens ever conceived - offering "Fencing, fighting, torture, revenge, giants, monsters, chases, escapes, true love, miracles... "

And then, to fully spoil the story, the Princess becomes First Lady and the top fencer becomes top guy at the CIA :D

Here is something that might be different nowadays, I remember growing up in the 80's that pornography was like the holy grail. I remember finding a Playboy at a yard sale tucked away amongst a bunch of comic books. That was a red letter day! I was twelve at the time. My guess is that with the internet, kids today are probably bored by Playboy.

Yeah was hard to find when I was at the age of taking an interest.

My brothers first business venture was selling it at school. He swiped dads CC and order up some floopy disks of nudes, printed them out on an old dot matrix printer for his own magazine. Sold them for £1 a time.

I was lucky, my downstairs neighbor would play porn on VHS and I could watch it. I was all of 11 or 12. And my friend's step-uncle had stacks of Playboys and porno on VHS which we would look at and watch when he wasn't home. You just had to avoid the sticky pages.
