Found this hilarious gallery of anti U.S. propaganda cartoons taken from Chinese newspapers published during 1958 to 1960.
This particularly funny cartoon mocked the failures of the then troubled Project Vanguard U.S. space program, after the erstwhile U.S.S.R. successfully launched the Sputnik 1 satellite in 1957.

The Upcool site has some mind-blowing pictures of old underwater diving suits and submarines.
Some of the diving suits can be described as distinctively ‘steampunk’ in appearance, even though the term refers to a genre of fantasy fiction set in the Victorian era.

I found this amazing collection of vintage Italian adult comic book covers on Flickr. The gallery includes covers of the infamous “Isabella” comic, illustrated by the great Sandro Angiolini.
The artsy covers feature some buxom Italian beauties in various states of undress, so it’s completely fun, but NSFW.
Ah, Flickr. You just keep on giving.

An exhibition of rare color photographs taken of a purportedly cheerful Paris under German occupation during the second World War, has touched a raw nerve among certain politicians and old timers.

More retro movie madness. This is one of the awesomest clips, I have ever been able to lay my eyes upon.
Forget about the news of Tony Stark (Iron Man) making a guest appearance in the upcoming Hulk Movie. Now imagine, Spider-man, El Mariachi, and a Mecha/Gundam robot, all coming together in a movie. That [...]

More retro movie madness this time. I Drink your Blood / I Eat Your Skin was a 1970 double feature, a monstrosity which was "inspired" by the the vicious crimes of the Charles Manson family.

Watch the final climatic moments of ‘Korkusuz’, a Turkish film directed by cult film legend Cetin Inanc.
The film’s main lead has obviously been modeled on John Rambo, the defining action hero of the 80’s, and soon to be resurrected and played by a man in his ’80s (That was a joke, a poor one, but [...]

Watch a great compilation of retro crash test videos set to the music of “Maximize” by Rex The Dog.
