Vintage Advertising — Ah, the Good Old Days!

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!

    OMG hilarious!..the funniest is "blow in her face and she'll follow you anywhere"wwwwaaaahahahahahahahh
  • 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!
