WE'VE COME A LONG WAY, BABY - RETRO ADS

Oh vintage ads for house cleaners and processed foods, how I adore you so. You once struck fear of vaginal odor and a dirty kitchen into the hearts of housewives across the nation, and now you stoke hilarity (and occasionally shock and disbelief) into my own cold, black ticker.

And if breathing life into my otherwise soulless carcass wasn't enough, you remind me of just how good we have it these days; we live in a time where mysoginistic racists are scorned by the masses (well, one can wish anyway) and Political Correctness assures that you don't have to worry if your vagina stinks because it's not ok for anybody to say anything about it anyway.

So of course I was delighted when I came across a post on Retro Comedy showcasing a selection of exceedingly shocking (by today's standards) retro advertisements, which reminded me again that I'd never would have been a graphic designer fifty years ago, because baby factories like myself are meant to clean, cook and get fucked. And apparently to douche with Lysol...who knew!


Lane Bryant - we'll make you feel so fat you won't want to shop anywhere else!



Buy me a new postage meter or I'll slit your damn throat you succubus!!!!
Ahhh...refreshing. And yes, I believe it IS always illegal to kill a woman. But I probably won't go to jail when I kill you in self defense. ENJOY!
