sending the right message...

my mom used to be in the advertising/marketing business before she retired and she passed these along from some of her advertising contacts. how awesome would it have been to be in advertising back in the day when you could get away with this shit?...

like, when drugs were legal???...


we send subliminal message to just go kill yourself...


when we flat out called people fat (and tell them to take tape worms for it? wtf?)...


when a good wife only wanted appliances for gifts...


when we promoted beer drinking and motherhood at the same time...


when it was ok to rot your kids teeth and their brains...


and when doctors actually promoted smoking...
