Regarding the sexists ones specifically - it's ironic how we now view that as sooo wrong yet, it's almost the same thing now but reversed.. Anyone notice that? Watch any commercial with a husband/wife, male/female, it's almost always the male who is dumb, slow, goofy, while the woman is always smarter, in control etc etc. No biggie, just ironic is all
It certainly is an insightful and somewhat outlandish look at the perceptions of...well, not that long ago really.
Yeah, i've noticed that alot actually. I think we should start an equality for men group.
They're all funny, but the Racism ads are hilarious, simply because they're so over-the-top, blatantly racist! And so are the Tobacco ads - 9 out of ten doctors smoke Camels!
Unbelievable!
Unbelievable!
Bill Maher goes off on that tangent quite a bit in his stand up routines. I can't say that disagree, either...and I consider myself a feminist (yes, males can be feminists too).
For the record, though, the ad about not burning the beer was funny (even if it's a little too low brow for a Don Drapper ad
).
AH! Love that french Cointreau one. Basically says "Never take the road after a good meal without first having a nice glass of Cointreau"
