Peter Pain was Ben-Gay's villainous mascot from 1942-1965. This ad on a vintage, 93-year-old NYC subway train elicited a lot of snickers from today's passengers.
No one would have laughed at that in the 1950s. They had far superior values than today. Besides sex wasn't invented until the 1970s, and homosexuality didn't exist until the 1990s.
Oscar Wilde was labeled a “homosexual” 100 years prior in the 1890s and put on trial. Alan Turing was also given hormone treatment to “cure his homosexuality” in the 1940s after WWII. Rock Hudson died of AIDS due to his “homosexuality” in the 1980s.
These events and people never happened or existed. How dare you spread false propaganda on Reddit, of all places. Elen DeGeneres invented homosexuality when she came out in 1996, this is widely known and accepted.

How did people reproduce before sex was invented?
Storks, duh.
Storks only went away due to feminism and 'equal rights'
Here's a Patriot that understands history.
Well, yeah. They fell into an oil slick like the Pelican Brief.
Who invented sex? god or CEO of Sex Ned Leeds?
…In the normal way!
False, homosexuality has been proven to exist as early at 1987, albeit punishable by death by angry Koalas
You know what friend, you are right! I stand sheepishly corrected.

Small print on the back
Ever tried it? It's good for back door chalking as well.
I don't know what "back door chalking" is, and at this point I'm too afraid to ask...
I read "Gay Ben Rubs Out Peter Pan".

I read “Ben-Gay rubs out Peter Pan.” I just had to go back and reread it twice before I noticed that ‘i’ in there.
Ben Gay, Dun Thad
Peter Pain has a front butt in the image on the left. Not sure if that's relevant.
