At sixteen I was stupid, confused and indecisive. At twenty-five I was wise, self-confident, prepossessing and assertive. At forty-five I am stupid, confused, insecure and indecisive. Who would have supposed that maturity is only a short break in adolescence?

Vintage Advertising — Ah, the Good Old Days!

February 12th, 2010 View Comments

all i can say is that adver­tis­ing has come a long way since the olden days! some ads that were accept­able in the past, would not be tol­er­ated today, while oth­ers are sim­ply funny or silly due to our value sys­tem which has rad­i­cally changed.

take a look at some great vin­tage ads below — some are com­i­cal, some are out­ra­geous and a whole lot are sexist!

    LOL :) I’m glad you found them enter­tain­ing. I came across so many of these sex­ist type ads but chose the few I liked the most! Pretty crazy when you think where the ad indus­try was and where it is now. I’d love to see people’s reac­tions if one of these was run today — youch! Hon­estly though, I can’t think of the one I laughed the most at but the “blow in her face” one is up there!
