Follies of the Mad Men #54
Alex raised the topic of navels earlier, little knowing I had something of a similar nature in store!
This is of course a famous and admittedly effective commercial. But we'll include it in our series of oddities for one trivial reason: no navels shown! In a commercial focusing on several bare stomachs!
It was all part of television broadcast standards back then, just as with the famous I Dream of Jennie prohibition against showing Barbara Eden's navel.

They didn't show belly buttons because, like disco, the site of one can cause spontaneous rioting.

They're all aliens - I'm going to get my tin foil hat!

I once saw a belly-button. It induced in me a madness so intense and profound that I blew up twenty-two cars, and one van.

OK, how did they get rid of them? That was pre-Photo Shop. Filled 'em with putty?
