   Haha… a bunch of girls looking at those weiners and smilling so widely… I like the Ronald Reagan Chesterfield ad, tho. What an awesome Xmas gift: cancer sticks.

   whacking someone with that cane will also control senile agitation quite promptly:)

   p.s. How did you get that cool widget ad?

   Lysol.

   That really freaks me out. I only ever used it for cleaning surfaces like counters and sinks.

   yeah, that Lysol Ad is pretty scary, to say the least. Here’s a little background on what women were lead to believe it was protecting them from.

   I love looking back at these old ads. I have found some great ads where doctors are recommending cigarettes. Also some great older ads where beer is advertised as medicine…….I’ve been collecting ads for years and love the way you can look back at a time that was so totally different than todays world.

   I love the “saves GE quarter mil in lost nulear fuel”. Makes you wonder just how much they didn’t save…

    I’m taking this opportunity to apologize to my two previous husbands … I feel so ashamed … here I thought they were abusive … taking me for granted … not honoring their commitments … to think it was all caused by germ-life even in the presence of mucous matter … and to think it was all avoidable … oh why did I have to scoff that “not so fresh feeling” public service announcement… had I only listened I could have banished their misgivings …

    k ltr … off to safeguard my dainty feminine allure if ya know what I mean before I have to question myself once again. I’m going to eliminate the source of the problem … I won’t let doubt, inhibitions and ignorance get the better of me again …

    That is priceless … but you know what just hit me … at least that’s straight-forward … today advertising says the same and even worse … only subtly and far more destructively …

    Lysol? You’d not known about that? Never’d that special chat with your mum? She hated you that much? Lock you in the loo, did she? Well, my little tushies the real secret is to then stuff one’s self with kitty litter to rid that horrible morgue like stench of Lysol. We don’t want to smell like we passed along about the time Harold Wilson was turned out now, do we? Fresh and happies! Don’t froget to brush!

    The Thorazine add would be great on a T-Shirt. Where can I get a better resolution image? I just love that ad.
