Mark Rayner of the Skwib blog and author of the novel "The Amadeus Net" (plot: turns out that Wolfgang Amaeus Mozart is immortal and has been making a living by selling "lost" works of Mozart!) has a fun photoshop contest: a vintage ad poster of a product from a fictional future!

Here are the top ten finalists: LinkThanks Max!

    You know what’s funny? Any time Neatorama posts about a funny or old ad, AdBlockPlus always hides the image. Wierd, eh?

    Hahaha! I always liked the campy, over the top, super sugary feeling to these kind of ads.

    Yes, but does it REVERSE the polarity, as well? :D

    Speaking for the family, my father would no doubt have been smiling merrily if he could have seen this. Also, personally, I was tickled beyond words when I first saw that entry. Nice to see such things, even nicer to be surprised by them in a favorite place like neatoramaa.

    My BiL will be upset – he got his doctorate by reconstructing bits of lost Mozart!
