How times have changed.
There are a quite a few to click through, just so you know.

Oooouuuuu this thread is promising!

ok, this is a great post showing us where we used to be and how far we've come. i think most people would agree those ads just would not work today and rightly so. those who do not learn history are doomed to...
i am relieved however, to be able to admit that i do not remember any of these except the "rather fight than switch" taretyon smokes. it would be interesting to see if the dental school had any endorsements for cigarettes in it's archives. cocaine? probably. lysol? cheezus! maybe windex(see my big fat greek wedding movie)
kept in context, as i am in full confidence that all of us here in scoop can maintain the high standards set forth; to maintain the historical context and resist the temptations to do anything otherwise ;D
this definitely was a period in our history and shows how we have evolved. this is, how i believe good, civil dialogue, debate and free speech help to change things for the better. without it, how many of these could still be considered status quo.

So 1940's males desired Sega video games? Before 99% of homes even had television? Huh.

Hey Jabronis,
An overwhelming amount of those are fake.
Carry on.

Bingo.

black man + white woman = against the law in many states in the '60s and earlier ...
Is that what you mean by a politcally incorrect "add"?

Wait, are you telling me "Planters: Put our nuts in your mouth" was never a real advertising slogan?

Along those lines, an absolutely true story: on my drive to work, there is a billboard that says, "Don't Bust Your Knuckles - Bust Your Nuts (https://www.facebook.com/BlasterProducts/photos/a.10150610438586097.380834.241443816096/10154300627236097/?type=1&theater)" Well, now. That's not really a phrase I'd expect to see on a road-side bill board.

clickbait gonna clickbait.

there's an ad on the radio for some garden center/landscape place that walks a fine line. lots of suggestive stuff that could be really counter-productive. stuff about melons and chitting yourself, etc. you have to hear it, but i guess it can't be too effective as i don't remember what the name of the business is

Shortly after we graduated, my wife's workplace had a safety week. They had a variety of events, talks, handouts, etc. One handout, that quickly became a collector's item, was a rape whistle. On it, they had printed, "Need help? Blow me!" Only a few were handed out before someone said something. I wish I had a picture.

LOL.
On the topic of double entendres, here's a story:
My wife and I honeymooned in Ireland and one city we visited was Galway. We read our travel book on the train to learn more about the city. It said, "Galway is known for their hookers. Every October the city hosts a renowned hooker festival, where hookers come from all over the world."
Turns out a hooker is a type of boat. It's a boat festival.

LOL.

I bet that led to a lot of horny, disappointed tourists.

As I started reading that, I thought it might be revealing a completely new meaning to "Galway Girl" -- a song on Ed Sheeran's new album. Don't judge me...I have three teenage daughters. And anyone familiar with "The A Team" from his first album knows that his songs can have unexpected -- and dark -- meanings. I said don't judge me.

A friend has a tradition among a group of his HS friends of giving Playboy's to one another from the month and year they were born. Recently he got one from 1971 and not only were the ads a combination of hilarious and rather un-PC but the comics....wow.
I can't really comment on the articles. Sorry. ;)

Did you at least get a chance to take out your dinghy?

Reminds me of my visit to Boston. I understand Joseph Hooker was a Civil War hero, but people gotta have some sense of context.

No teenage daughters here and I love that goofy ginger bastard. This is a safe place.

Well, now I feel safe enough to say that if my daughters needed a ride to the Sheeran concert, I might be willing to take them. But only out of a sense of fatherly duty. And I might or might not be a little disappointed that tickets were sold out so fast that I didn't get an opportunity to make that sacrifice for them. Don't. Judge. Me.
