Original Mr. Met vs. Modern Mr. Met

Don't these two pictures tell us a great deal?

• 1960's: Low tech costume, hotties wore hats and gloves (albeit with a hint of sexy stocking), clowns were still considered important.
• 2000's: Low tech costume, hotties wear next to nothing, clowns relegated to the halls of Congress or in new positions as MLB umpires.

Oh how times have changed!

(or have they?)
