ladies,we really have come a long way-old ads my mom sent me....

[w8liftinglady]

[Renew Deal]

1. A time when men were men

:evilgrin:

[Tabasco_Dave]

2. Look what they did to the poor model in this commercial.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Q1gksqqhLU

:wow:

[WillParkinson]

3. Ah, makes me long for the good-old-days

Heh

[proteus_lives]

4. I'm going to say it. The Mojud one is kinda sexy.

[abq e streeter]

23. +1

[SwampG8r]

31. as a child of the

50s i must say i miss stockings the most
if i were to have the time and money to develop a fetish it would be for stockings
as it is they just make me all giddy
its all i have budget for

[Flaxbee]

38. the Mojud one is funny / cute...

and cocaine toothache drops! :D

But most of the rest of them are shocking in their stupidity (bake your baby under a sunlamp, then wrap him/her in cellophane!) or make my blood boil... :grr:

[wickerwoman]

5. Wow!

:wow:

That sweater one doesn't even make sense... it's like they're just taking any excuse to be offensive!

[laylah]

6. Oh my! I vaguely

remember a few of those. We certainly have come a long way!

[Bunny]

7. What the hell is 'store testing' for fresher coffee?

:shrug:

[eyepaddle]

9. I have no idea....but I too am curious.

If I figure it out, I'll let you know.

[Arkansas Granny]

22. I was wondering about that and went looking. This is what I found

on an ebay listing for a vintage coffee can.

. . . .I WILL TYPE WHAT IS ON THE CAN AS WRITTEN. PRESSURE PACKED CHASE & SANBORN COFFEE. (FRONT) DOME TOP COFFEE THE ONE YOU CAN TEST FOR FRESHNESS IF ITS FIRM ITS FRESH IF TOP CLICKS PRESSURES GONE TAKE ANOTHER . . . .

[bdamomma]

46. in todays world this ad displays abuse by husband.

[uncommon]

8. A lot of modern ads are just as troubling...

[seabeyond]

10. yes. havent come that far, the dehumanizing has just shifted. nt

[uncommon]

11. Indeed. It's more sexual than the old advertising --

and more violent. There is slightly less emphasis on caring for the home, but tons more on caring for the physical assets of the woman.

[w8liftinglady]

12. well..that is a good point-they are just broadcast as being "liberal".

[WolverineDG]

19. There were loads of them during the Superbowl

yet meanwhile on DU, people were flying around the room over Tebow's mom's ad which was so low-key, most other people missed it completely.

dg

[Dr Morbius]

13. I hope no one actually tried this, with tragic results.

That's just horrifying.

[Deep13]

16. That's so over the top, it's almost a parody ad. nt

[gvstn]

20. Creepy. The writers on Criminal Minds will probably steal it.

One TV critic I agree with and I learned a new word http://www.google.com/#num=30&hl=en&safe=off&q=execrable+&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai=&fp=27c2c8a73a086b15

And as awful as they may be, they're still a better bet than the only new scripted alternative, CBS' execrable Criminal Minds. If that array won't make you renew your library card, nothing will.

14. This Goodyear commercial always makes me laugh

<param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/IvsEx_SRJpU&hl=en_US&fs=1">

[chrisa]

43. Haha. Goodyear is known for their old sexist commercials.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=td6m3OhO5zE

Oh my god! Scary lights and walk signals! Ahhh!!!

Whew! That was a close one.

[Deep13]

15. So what do postage meters have to do with murder?

They're all pretty bad, but some are worse than others. Unreal.

[EOTE]

25. Figuring out postage can be so infuriating you'll want to murder!

But not an actual person, just a woman. Or something like that.

[SwampG8r]

32. im not sure but

i think he is going to kill her because she screwed up the mail
just like a woman
let her out of the house without a shopping list and who knows what hijinks she will get into!
but
if you get the pitney bowles postage meter she cannot screw up your mail
i am jusy free associating from the ad but i bet if we had the copy i am close

[LibDemAlways]

17. There are still plenty of offensive ads out there. Take a look:

http://www.oddee.com/item_96502.aspx

Some of those oldies seem quaint and harmless by comparison.

[Deep13]

27. I kind of like the one with the bath tub.

It appeals to my morbid sense of humor. I can see why the company rejected it, though. I frankly think the Tony Blair picture is spot-on. A lot of them are just stupid.

[WolverineDG]

18. You've got your own cigarette now, baby! You've come a long, long way

Old jingle for Virginia Slims. Always sent Mom around the bend when it came on.

The Irish Spring ads (Manly, yes, but I like it too!) set my mom off not just because they were sexist, but also because they were stereotypical of the Irish.

Another ad that used to set my mom off was the Enjoli perfume ad: I can bring home the bacon (with Enjoli) Fry it up in a pan (with Enjoli) and never ever let you forget you're a man! Cuz I'm a woman! (Enjoli!)

And as always, my personal favorite: Secret--strong enough for a man, but made for a woman. :eyes:

[gvstn]

21. I loved that woman

the Enjoli perfume ad: I can bring home the bacon (with Enjoli) Fry it up in a pan (with Enjoli) and never ever let you forget you're a man! Cuz I'm a woman! (Enjoli!)

[sarge43]

36. And if you're still calling me baby, I have a long way to go yet. n/t

[mtnester]

49. I thought of that one too...here is the video for it

26. OMG!!! Are those real?

[woo me with science]

28. douche with Lysol

[SwampG8r]

33. ........

my wife is a nurse practitioner running her own gyn clinic
i must show her this
it will likeley be blown up and hung in an exam room

[woo me with science]

37. LOL! She'd better be careful.

I can just see a lawsuit..."The doctor had a poster telling me to!"

[Radical Activist]

40. Would it work for my girlfriend if I gargled with the lysol in my bathroom before I...

Probably not.

[velvet]

42. the horror

I am moved to quote John Cooper Clarke:

"Like a recently disinfected toilet bowl, you're clean round the bend."

[mysuzuki2]

50. being a male and therefore lacking a vagina

I wouldn't know from personal experience, but wouldn't douching with Lysol burn?

[City of Mills]

29. GIMME THOSE COCAINE TOOTHACHE DROPS RIGHT !@%%$#@ NOW

YOU SONSOFBITCHES!

[rurallib]

30. "Indoors women are useful - even pleasant"

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

(Men are better than Women - next line)
as long as they douche with Lysol

[LynneSin]

34. Don't forget this classic!!

[hunter]

35. Chesterfield had some winners. "Your pleasure is long and true..."

1962 Mechanix Illustrated

[Phentex]

44. Even looks like Jon Hamm from Madmen!

Too funny!

[Radical Activist]

39. Unbelievable.

I don't even know where to begin saying WTF because it keeps getting worse.

At least the woman being spanked seems to enjoy it.

[AsahinaKimi]

41. oh my gawd..

unbelievable 0.0"""

[david13]

45. Kimi this is what the 'good ole USA' used to be all about. dc

[Odin2005]

47. I'm a guy, but even modern ads with sexist overtones make me cringe.

[Manifestor_of_Light]

48. Go to www.mum.org for more Lysol douche ads.

Thanks to my good buddy Harry Finley!!! :yourock: He collects that stuff!!

[Dystopian]

51. This is what I don't understand....

Why didn't the teachers give us Flobar instead of making us dive under our desks???


peace~

[pokerfan]

52. It's nice to have a girl around the house
