    No interracial love stories? Our grandparents were so evil? Look who’s coming to dinner http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guess_Who%27s_Coming_To_Dinner

    In 1967 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-miscegenation_laws

    The constitutionality of anti-miscegenation laws was upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court in the 1883 case Pace v. Alabama (106 U.S. 583). The Supreme Court ruled that the Alabama anti-miscegenation statute did not violate the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution. According to the court, both races were treated equally, because whites and blacks were punished in equal measure for breaking the law against interracial marriage and interracial sex. This judgment was overturned in 1967 in the Loving v. Virginia case, where the Supreme Court declared anti-miscegenation laws a violation of the Fourteenth Amendment and therefore unconstitutional.

    Everything changed in 1967.

    Not sure about the last one, but the first one was the short during the Swamp Diamonds episode of MST3K (happened to be watching that episode before coming here).

    and the second one was riffed by Rifftrax.com , which is a project by Mike and the guys who played Tom Servo and the second Crow T Robot.

    Wow… 5-digit phone numbers, and rotary phones.

    You know, while working tech support, one of my fellow techs had to take a call from a 90-year old woman who complained that our system didn’t support pulse dialing. According to her, pulse dialing is superior to touch tone.

    She spent 20 minutes making this argument.

    #11 – Mac Guy – one of my fellow techs had to take a call from a 90-year old woman who… spent 20 minutes making this argument.

    Is your colleague still on the payroll?

    #11: Western Electric made phones that weren’t supposed to ever wear out.

    My mom didn’t switch from her pulse dial wall phone that Ma Bell delivered to our house around 1960, until about 1990. She finally switched to touch tone because the buttons were easier on her arthritic hands.
