Ha! Once again, truly amazing. And some of them are truly disturbing. I think this says something about cultural context. And how difficult it is for something to be timeless. A good argument to keep your finger on the pulse of the community with whom you're communicating.

Shawn,

Thanks! All I did was search to find them. They do say a lot. There were ones that were actually too offensive to include: the blatantly racist ones. It's unbelieveable what was once accepted as "acceptable."

Thanks for the fun post, Yoni. It's a great way to start the day. I wonder how successful any of them were when they were published? They definitely don't stand the test of time which is the hallmark of a great ad. P.S. I didn't know O.J. had 3 legs!

LOL I think you are becoming obsessed with bad vintage ads. For your birthday, perhaps a giant jar of corrector fluid and a time machine.

David,

Thanks! after posting links here to the foxnews.com list, I thought I would make one of my own. Problem is FOX used so many of the good ones. It took a few hours of searching, but I think I found a feww doozies.

All the best,

Yoni
