Imagine Trying To Get Away With This Ad Today

This claim actually ran in 1950. Now if you'll excuse me, my doctor tells me I have to go smoke a Camel cigarette - they're apparently really good for my throat.

I started out with nothing and I still have most of it.

So does mine,  but I can remember a time when you would see a  Doctor smoking between appointments; and in later years huddled with other smoking staff outside a hospital or clinic after the first no-smoking regulations were introduced.

Today's OLG ads that glamorize gambling aren't a whole lot different.

The internet is full of politically incorrect ads from the 1950's and 60's. How about a meat thermometer as a bridal shower gift "to please the groom" or an ad for a self cleaning oven to protect the wife's finger nails. My favourite is for an appliance called the "Kenwood Chef" It apparently "does everything but cook...that's what wives are for"

Didn't Peloton make a lot of women angry with one of their ads, jut a couple of years ago?

I'm still chuckling at the 'Love Slave' ad shitshow Kellogg's found itself in.

I remember that one. There was also the one for Energizer batteries where they shot the bunny. It was a hit in the US, but in Canada, not so much. They had to pull it
