Get your 1980s glam-rock bands straight
Along with being hideous, this poster for a rock station in the Philippines doesn't make much sense. While it’s true that hair-metal bands chopped up traditional masculine dress codes and snorted them, Kiss wasn’t one of those bands. They weren’t even an ’80s band, really—their heyday was the 1970s (and their ’90s comeback, of course). And while the guys in Poison may have looked a little dainty, I’m pretty sure none of them had boobs. Two other posters here and here speak volumes about their designer: namely, that he or she was born in 1990 and loves VH1. Via Ads of the World.
