I guess they didn’t think they could get away with the obviously intended tag line?
‘Now You Can Sit On His Face. Anytime.’
These things existing need to be taking with a grain of salt. They existed, but they were small small scale and didn’t penetrate the market. Winter Wallaby’s example seems fairly equivalent.
Almost certainly the tagline was “Sit on his face” but the magazine probably didn’t allow it.
A photo on you undies doesn’t seem any weirder than having the days of the week or unicorns or hot dogs or whatever….
All my life I’ve seen things and wondered “Who on earth would want to buy that?” and the answer is probably “A very, very few–if any.”
woozy: I actually see that hat quite often, most often at things like fairs and carnivals as prizes, but also at stores. I’ve only seen someone actually wearing one a few times. But the last time I was at the beach, someone had a poop emoji inflatable raft.
You know, this would be the sort of thing a person might buy in the wake of a badly failed relationship….
My thought usually is, “What person would want to be the model for that?” Although I suppose models have to start SOMEplace.
The real question is, why did it exist at a time when the high entry cost of an ad campaign would require a substantial number of sales, making a business unlikely to break even. Today, an internet presence from GoDaddy, eBay, and Amazon give a “long tail” of hopelessly silly ideas a place to incubate at minimal investment cost. Even an idea that requires a “wide tail” to print properly.
…and as I suspected, this dates to 1976, not a decade earlier.
I liked WW’s picture better. Somehow, I doubt that’s what children mean when they call someone a poopy-head.
billybob: I’d guess this was a part of a larger company, one that printed t-shirts (which was a huge business in the 70’s, and ever after). They might have thought, “Why not?” and had the money to see what would happen.
I like the way the men’s sizes come in Small, Medium, and Large, and the women’s sizes come in 4, 5, 6, and 7.
Accoding to Google Maps, the building still exists. I wonder whether the current occupants of the office know what used to go on in there.
I’m going to guess the main customers were men giving this to lady friends, all deploying some variation of woozy’s speculative tagline.
The address is probably a mail drop. “Suite 211” means Box 211.

Why is this a real thing now?:

Intro lyrics:
Sit on my face and tell me that you love me
I’ll sit on your face and tell you I love you, too
BTW the knicker company’s name “Fanny Face” would cause a few conniptions in UK land… see item no. 1 in this list:

By the same token, who’d want THIS in his/her pool, of all places?
