Everybody loves vintage ads, because they're all old and weird-looking with funny language and whatnot. The drawback is, you can never buy the products in them. Well now that problem has been solved! Spooftastic Photoshop wizardry website Worth1000 sponsored a contest for fake vintage ads of current products. In a servicey move, we've culled the entire list down to the five best: Girls Gone Wild, Jagermeister, cell phones, Viagra, and laser hair removal—in the old school style—after the jump.

@CodePink: With Cole Porter songs! "Let's Fall in Love" indeed!

@Colonel Mustard: I hear that one can purchase a Nokia communicator with a grammophone for ten pounds sixpence at the local chemist's. It is simply a must-have item for those long carriage rides to one's country house in the Midlands.

I want to know how much Mr. Nokia's telephonic communicator is going for — MY communicator lacks an MP3 gramophone. If it's more than a few shillings I'm going to have to pass, though. I need to save my money for a high-definition televisual entertainment box.

@In Other News...: Also, some of the entries are SO convincing that people forward them around and think they're real. The site basically keeps [snopes.com] afloat, since they'll never run out of fake pictures to debunk.
