We here at the Flipside are privileged to present, in full, the very first article published in the BuzzFeed periodical magazine, on Nov 25th, 1963. We can still see even today the traces of BuzzFeed’s inimitable journalistic style in this, its very first attempt to conquer the market of poorly thought-out opinions. Presented is that very piece, as it appeared in print to ease the concerns of a worried populace.

And isn’t that what a bummer really means.
