About seven or eight years ago, I made this fake ad, exhorting parents to give soda to their babies. It was done on a bored afternoon when J.D. Ryznar asked for someone to make that very specific thing on his livejournal. I whipped it together, posted it to the web, joke over.
THEN. A couple of years later- it started showing up online, in those weird lists that pop up every so often with a Oh man, ads sure were strange back then, werent they? theme. Thing is, those ads are largely real and mine is not and very obviously so.

(34,074 posts)We juxtaposed (then) modern day ads against porn images (strikingly similar, if less explicit) - and one of the themes in the slide show was the infantilization of women, including that some of the models in the ads using sex to sell were children. A number similar to the rape image in Dolce & Gabanna.

(50,559 posts)Ninety percent of them are from Deplorables complaining about how liberals are "destroying traditional American values."
Which makes me wonder...why, if you're so hell-bent on Protecting Traditional American Values, did you vote for the guy Harold Hill said we needed a boy's band to protect River City from?
