I was forwared this clipping from an old magazine add from my boss. Thought it was interesing.

That is great! I love "HEATHEN IDOLS" in all caps, and nowadays "TIKI ON A THONG" would mean something different.

Great ad, love the bold, bright "barbaric colors".

What show are they referring to?
Aloha,

Romantic Sea Captain? The only show that came to mind was Adventures in Paradise.

The Book of Tiki...only 8 and a half years old, and already it is "forgotten knowledge".
