Although I can't remember where they're from, I remember the Goons were riled up by a pair of McDonald's ads. One had the tagline "I'd hit it", while the other escapes my memory.

They were probably thinking, "We're gonna sell LOTS of Atari shirts!" The same kind of thing as with most other really stupid ads.

They were thinking that they weren't quite so jaded and cynical in the early 1980s as they are now. :P

It's an exercise/athletics shirt. Aparently called a "shimmel".

Skin tight jeans are very uncomfortable. Baggy jeans are better.

Other than denim is the least comfortable material this side of chain mail to wear skintight?

yeah, the only comfortable skin tight materials are leather and synthetics...
