One of my pet peeves is political correctness. It's the scourge of the planet. It inhibits thought, free speech, and honest discourse. I'm fighting back by forming this group to collect all the posts that might be considered offensive today but ruffled few feathers when they were originally made. You know the type of stuff I mean: cigarette ads, sexist commercials, etc. Tags: politically incorrect stuff Status: Public Created: 8th March 2008 Owner:Lava1964
Even cereal advertising could be sexist! Check out this 1940 newspaper ad for Kellogg's Corn Flakes: Hubby heaps praise on wife for being smart enough to feed the kids something they actually like at breakfast time. Yep, she's a keeper!

Here's one of those old-style coffee commercials that wouldn't fly today. Macho-jerk husband criticizes his pretty wife's coffee-making skills. The solution is to switch to Folgers, of course. Now 'sir' is a happy macho-jerk and the pretty wife is once again in his good graces. Tags:sexistcoffeecommercialFolgers Added: 16th December 2007 Views: 336 Rating: Posted By:Lava1964
You can't make this stuff up! From 1898 to 1910 you could legally buy heroin over the counter from your local druggist. It was marketed as a non-addictive morphine substitute and a cough medicine for children! Tags:heroin Added: 18th November 2007 Views: 376 Rating: Posted By:Lava1964
Husbands: be like Santa Claus this year. Show 'the wife' how much you love her by getting her a new washing machine as a Christmas gift--at a bargain price too! Tags:washingmachinead Added: 17th November 2007 Views: 406 Rating: Posted By:Lava1964
This commercial ran in the 1960s. You think it would run today? No chance! Tags:Jellocommercial Added: 30th September 2007 Views: 586 Rating: Posted By:Lava1964
