Title: 15 Creepiest Vintage Ads
Post by: Tarheel on July 01, 2009, 05:46:13 PM
I thought that they were funny, but my sense of humor is skewed (I especially liked the 'Chase & Sanborn' coffee ad...If she's not "store testing for the freshest coffee then woe be unto you"):

Amazing how perception changes over the years.  Should these ads appear today The Obama would bankrupt the businesses that produced them and send their executives in for sensitivity training. 

While some of these were beyond the bounds of good taste, I do think we've gone way too far in the other direction.
