Or making someone do exactly what you order?” Especially a woman in a sexy outfit in the lounge room of your home? Get this book, fulfil your fantasies. 1950’s ad from the backs of comic books. For a version less subtle . . . The couch in the back makes the message even more obvious. _____________________________ 1970’s ad for Jade East aftershave – “If she doesn’t give it to you get it yourself.” And again . . . _____________________________ “Ring Around Rosie. Or Carol. Or Eleanor, etc. Fun. But you can only play if you wear Broomsticks slacks.” Creepy rape-style ad for men’s slacks, 1960’s. A serial offender for sexist, misogynist advertising: _____________________________ “Now the new mistress of the home can go right ahead with some of those girlhood dreams - planning lovely meals for her man . . .” Ad, 1950’s In the same vein: _____________________________ World War 2 ad _____________________________ Wrong on so many levels that there is no need to list them. From 1952. ____________________________ What is it about women and mowers???... _____________________________ 1950’s ad, not sure what the lad is holding behind his back. It’s actually an ad for cellophane . . . But this one isn't . . .
