Mine was stupid-funny when I first realized it, but after that moment it's made me very sad...
I was born halfway through the 60s. I grew up in Canada, but on the border with the US, and more than half our tv stations were American. I remember growing up, watching that little black and white tv, seeing the horrible news all the time...Vietnam, protests, etc.
Well, by the time I was about 7 or 8, we finally had a colour tv. That would have been around 1972? I remember watching tv, and thinking how cool colour was, then a show would come on without colour. At the bottom of the screen, in little black or white letters it would say "Black and White". Well, if you don't think young ones pick up on things, think again. For many years, I thought that meant that both black and white people were allowed to watch the show. That memory makes me want to cry every time I think of it.
