Advertisement, as we all know, is all about communication in
which the message should be crisp and clear of its purpose. The advertising
world has come a long way. Can you imagine ads on racial discrimination, chauvinism
(particularly male chauvinism), or something as grave as mocking religion? Of course
not! To much of our surprise or disappointment, whatever you may choose there
was a time where all of it was prevalent in the glamorous world of advertising.
Yes! There were no barriers or borderlines to creating
an ad. However, once you see the ten most controversial vintage ads you will surmise
how drastic a change the ad industry has undergone, especially in terms of their
perception toward racism and women. It also tells us a lot about the outlook
and mindset of not only the ad-makers but also the audience. They were the ones
who encouraged orthodox and conservative ideas and perceptions because they
shared the same thought process. These vintage ads are a reminder of how much
we have advanced with time and how liberal and human we are now!
Let's leaf through the ten vintage ads that would surely be banned today:
1. THE HARDER A WIFE WORKS,THE CUTER SHE LOOKS !
2. IF YOUR HUSBAND EVER FINDS OUT !
3. SHOW HER IT'S A MAN'S WORLD !
4. BLOW IN HER FACE !
5. SMOKING SANTA !
6. WHY DOESN'T YOUR MAMA WASH YOU WITH A FAIRY SOAP ?!
