There is not enough WTF in the world for this.


Before there was Summer's Eve, there was...



Again I say: D: D: D:


I mean seriously, anything that strongly suggests you use rubber gloves while applying it to various surfaces should probably not be put inside you. For all I know, Lysol might be a great feminine hygeine product, but still, what's next? Shaving your legs with a straight razor? *cringes*

And then there's this, which makes me so so happy I'm alive right now:



Just... no. No thank you. I like to think the woman's thinking, "Vitamins, and also the fact that soon I will kill you, bury you with quicklime, and run off to Tijuana."

I'll be over here now, doing... something.

Wow.

Wow. I'm hoping they meant a specific product by the Lysol company, rather than the stuff houses are cleaned with because that's seriously not right.

you know, what*ever* the product is advertised n this way, the whole thing makes me run away disgusted. What the fuck happened to soap? this irks me SO MUCH.

Hmmmph... and there was no doctor around to suggest she try dipping hubby's bits in it? Because he - 1940's!Man - is, of course, a model of hygiene!

Um, wow. I find the Lysol advertisement incredibly disturbing.

I can't honestly say that I am the best example of the feminist movement (hello, I work in a library), but the second advertisement makes me throw up a little in my mouth.

(Off topic here, but this new icon you have of John and the belly scratching? SO ADORABLE!

Nothing like [livejournal.com profile] vintage_ads to make you realize how lucky you are to be living now.

Of course it kind of makes you look at modern ads and wonder what people will think of them in fifty years.

I'm just trying to imagine the scenario in between the first and second panels in the first ad. Like, did he roll over in bed one night and say, 'Gosh, honey, your feminine area smells great again?', or did she just throw him down and shove her groin in his face and yell, 'TASTE IT, IT'S CLEAN!' or what? I mean, she was caught in a web of indifference. I don't know that he was getting close enough to notice what she was douching with.

Oh. Dear. God.


I'd like to point my finger at all the stupid doctors, but then I see some of the stuff we were saying on five years ago and .... ghah.
