Take a look here for more
sexist ads from the past. Isn't amazing? I laughed when I read most of these, and at the same time I can't help but think about some of the images we see these days like why are so many women in music videos practically naked? Soft porn... to sell a song? Boring. Women's magazines are no better. How many articles can one write about how to please your man? How about pleasing yourself, besides buying a new Full EyelashTriple Lashfull Bashfull Super Length Mascara? Well, I don't really want to go down this road, I may not come back, there's too much to say. I just hope that in the future, we can laugh about how stupid today's ads are (even though, most of the time I'm already rolling my eyes). Do we really fall for these? I would like to think that I make choices more logically rather than lead by my primitive ego, but I wonder.... Sometimes I long for the days when things were not all covered in advertisements. Bus stops were just bus stops, and buses were just buses. There were no sneaky ads on ceilings, sidewalks, bathroom doors, and at the bottom of public pools. I've stopped going to movie theaters because I don't want to sit through 40 minutes of ads just to save a decent seat. I can barely handle t.v. anymore. I'm saturated. Seems it's time to go to the woods. That's a pretty safe place to be adless. But then again you never know....
