...There were a few differences between then and now. One was that the culture of vulgarity was still a minority one. Another difference was that the content of '50s anti-art, however loud or lurid, was harmless.

...Castellanos's ad with a distracted eye, and missing the reference altogether. (Of course, that line of reasoning makes it difficult to explain how the split-second flash was visible to a Seattle television viewer; the registered Democrat called the Gore campaign to register surprise over the ad's content...
