Entry #10 Blast from the Past

Still on the media topic of Entry #9 I came across some advertisements from the past that you won't believe! I wanted to share them with you guys give some feedback on the ridiculous pictures. 
1.
"A wife can blame herself if she loses love be getting "MIDDLE AGE" SKIN!" What? I am thankful that this is no longer the way of advertisement. Or is it? A advertisement now a days may not specifically say those words, it wouldn't get away with it, but it sure can hint towards it and use men in a commercial as desiring the woman with the beautiful scent. As if women need to smell like roses to get a man to fall for them. This advertisement is extremely ridiculous but also holds the hard truth of today. Some women may even think this way that if their skin isn't young and beautiful that its why men won't want them.

Oh perfect a baby advertising cigarettes. Of course this was back int he day when they were not known to be extremely harmful towards people, especially babies. How do you get people to buy a poison? Get a baby to tell you to do it! This ad is beyond absurd and would never ever be shown in the 21st century. It is so crazy to consider how much the world has changed to where this was once acceptable. You can truly see this in the ads shown in the article. Each has shown america coming a long ways.
