    This may have been posted before. I nearly peed myself laughing

    OOoh, ooh ooooh, it's almost time for the Christmas Classic ads - like for men's aftershave - you know the one - snowy scene, couple riding one horse....

    And men's electric shaver's.

    Elizabeth Taylor hawking her perfume.

    I swear I've been seeing the same ads for 30 years.

    OK, I admit it, I posted before I looked at the link. Oh, my. And I even remember some of the ads. Vaguely. I was very young....

    Not so far removed from the present day as to be funny, to me. Domestic violence, dangerous medical interventions for natural female bodily functions, and of course a grossly unequal division of labor, are still the reality in the USA. Advertising is a little more subtle about it now, is all.

    That is why I didn't finish the line... I was born in 59 and do remember some of these ads...I am still amazed that these saw publication.
