Would you like a Date with a Beatle?


This photo was from an ad in Datebook magazine.   It lures you into the ad by showing this picture of Paul and a fan looking all cozy together and asks the question, "Would you like a date with a Beatle?"   Once you are lured into saying, "Heck yeah!"   You continue to read as Datebook bursts your bubble and says, "well, don't expect us to fix it up for you!  But we can arrange for you is plenty of dates with boys in your own school if you carefully read Datebook's complete guide to Dating!"  Yes for just $3.00 you get all the tips every teenage girl needs to know about dating?  What?   I thought they were going to set me up with a date with Paul?  What about the girl in the picture?  What a rip off....but wait there is more!   Datebook then tells us, "because we can't really get you a date with a Beatle, we will send you a substitute.  A bonus copy of Beatle love Poems.  This pamphlet full of poems dedicated to the Beatles and written by teenagers themselves, will be given free with each order."   Great.   So not only do I NOT get a date with a Beatle.  Instead I get a lousy pamphlet full of sappy poems other girls wrote for the guys I love?   No thanks.  I am keeping my three bucks!
