    The Infamous Sears 1975 Peek-a-Boo Catalog Controversey


    Recently while searching Ebay for catalogs (which I do way too much) I discovered an auction stating it was the "Infamous Sears Peek-A-Boo Catalog" from 1975. Curious, I checked it out and apparently it was pulled because on page 602, you could clearly see a man-part in an underwear ad.

    Well, I had to have this catalog but I probably would have bid anyway. So without further delay is page 602.






    Now of course, it's our spokes person Brick Mantooth in the picture, it just had to be. So instead of just showing his potato, people claim that you can see his loin tip (I'll stop with the food/wang jokes now). In case this isn't the sort of thing you want to view on a Monday morn, I've left it up to you to click the pic and see for yourself.
    What I discovered while writing about this is it's actually been well written about previously and this article from the Straight Dope dismisses that it's actually Brick's Junk but more of a printer error. I'd be inclined to agree but this whole thing amuses me way more than it should....

    What's crazy is that the guy in the briefs is showing the bulge more than Brick Mantooth, and all you get is the tease from Brick....

      Yeah, before I read it, I was figuring there was some flack over the dude in the tighty-whiteys. He's not leaving much to the imagination there.

      During my early teen (and even pre-teen) years, I recall looking through said catalogs for "accidental" revelations in the ladies unmentionables sections...

        Ah, the 70's version of today's Abercrombie & Fitch catalogs. Minus the actual nudity and suggested homosexuality, of course, but otherwise the exact same thing!

            I must be getting too old. I didn't see anything. Besides if it was the guy wearing the boxers,he's in the wrong line of work. If that shows while you're wearing those,shouldn't you be in porn instead?

                And Brian already gave the guy as good a porn name as any.
