FUN FACT ABOUT THE DOUCHE KICKING SAND IN THE DORK’S FACE


The moral of the “1940’s comic book ad” story? Buy the Charles Atlas book to transform yourself from a mac to a man. What you probably don’t know is this ad is actually based on an actual event that occurred in Charle’s life. True that.  Some version of the beach scene happened in the early 1900s in Acri, Italy – Not sure if Charlie was the sand kicker or sand kickee.

    Cause you're not a real man until you put on a pair of Speedos and punch a dude.

    I remember reading that comic advert as a kid. It was around for ages. I did not know that it was based on a real life event.

    I think he was the kickee. I remember that ad also. Not my idea of a real man though.

    Now a days the smaller guy would have gone to his car and retrieved his Glock, and settled the score in the parking lot.

    The moral of the story: kicking sand is the catalyst of coming out of the closet
