- ivankraszl, on 07/02/2009, -0/+88You don't have to go back to the past to find creepy ads. Here are some contemporary ones:

- jefrazie, on 07/01/2009, -3/+70Where's the pedobear for #2?
- CreateTheFuture, on 07/02/2009, -5/+71There's nothing ignorant about his comment, you turd. It's a ***** fact.
- jayrok, on 07/02/2009, -2/+59Let's see... candles - check. Chocolate covered strawberries - check. Barry White music - check. KY jelly - check. Oh.... and can't forget the Lysol for that filthy whore - check.
- rotundo, on 07/02/2009, -1/+49The Lysol Douche ad seems the most crazy to me. Partly because it's offensive yet dead serious, and partly because it's bad advice. A healthy vag smells good. If it doesn't, you should see a doctor, not squirt lysol up your *****.
- JFitzpatrick, on 07/02/2009, -0/+42Some of them, to me as a modern reader at least, just don't make any sense.
Like why was the guy with the postage meter going to kill the woman? I don't get it. Did she spend too much on postage?
And as far as that guy with the eye patch... maybe if he stopped playing with baby killing machines he'd still have both eyes. =/ - Garyland2002, on 07/02/2009, -1/+42"Free for Chubbies" would be a great band name. Might not attract the best groupies though...
- NCg8r, on 07/02/2009, -2/+43In the Deep South, we have a rule about BBQ. The more Anthropomorphic (that means "Acting like a Human" for you Yanks) the pigs appear in the restaurant's sign, the better the BBQ. A shop with a picture of a pig may be good, but the one where the pig is dressed like a farmer is even better. Ideally, look for one where a pig, dressed as a human, is heartily enjoying eating another pig to find the best BBQ.
(also works for boiled peanuts) - Mujokan, on 07/02/2009, -5/+43Not if you follow the Bible literally, either.
Deuteronomy 22
13 If a man takes a wife and, after lying with her, dislikes her 14 and slanders her and gives her a bad name, saying, "I married this woman, but when I approached her, I did not find proof of her virginity," 15 then the girl's father and mother shall bring proof that she was a virgin to the town elders at the gate. 16 The girl's father will say to the elders, "I gave my daughter in marriage to this man, but he dislikes her. 17 Now he has slandered her and said, 'I did not find your daughter to be a virgin.' But here is the proof of my daughter's virginity." Then her parents shall display the cloth before the elders of the town, 18 and the elders shall take the man and punish him. 19 They shall fine him a hundred shekels of silver and give them to the girl's father, because this man has given an Israelite virgin a bad name. She shall continue to be his wife; he must not divorce her as long as he lives.
20 If, however, the charge is true and no proof of the girl's virginity can be found, 21 she shall be brought to the door of her father's house and there the men of her town shall stone her to death. She has done a disgraceful thing in Israel by being promiscuous while still in her father's house. You must purge the evil from among you.
22 If a man is found sleeping with another man's wife, both the man who slept with her and the woman must die. You must purge the evil from Israel.
23 If a man happens to meet in a town a virgin pledged to be married and he sleeps with her, 24 you shall take both of them to the gate of that town and stone them to death—the girl because she was in a town and did not scream for help, and the man because he violated another man's wife. You must purge the evil from among you.
25 But if out in the country a man happens to meet a girl pledged to be married and rapes her, only the man who has done this shall die. 26 Do nothing to the girl; she has committed no sin deserving death. This case is like that of someone who attacks and murders his neighbor, 27 for the man found the girl out in the country, and though the betrothed girl screamed, there was no one to rescue her.
28 If a man happens to meet a virgin who is not pledged to be married and rapes her and they are discovered, 29 he shall pay the girl's father fifty shekels of silver. He must marry the girl, for he has violated her. He can never divorce her as long as he lives.
30 A man is not to marry his father's wife; he must not dishonor his father's bed. - majordanger, on 07/01/2009, -1/+35"...psychopath cereal killer..." Does he stomp on Cherrios?
- wricketts, on 07/01/2009, -5/+38That's great. Reminds me of old cigarette commercials where they sling around phrases like "smokes fresher" "pedigree tobaccos" and "rich bold taste"
- jstohler, on 07/02/2009, -0/+33Metropolitan Life: http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/QmWVKqPmER0gM ...
- msmayhew, on 07/02/2009, -3/+33I don't get what's creepy about the "Christmas Weapons" ad. I received my first Daisy BB gun for Christmas when I was 6 years old. Of course, it stayed in my closet with a trigger lock that my parents held the key to and I was only allowed to shoot it with strict supervision.
- duncan202, on 07/02/2009, -1/+28The spanking one was kind of hot.
- jitterbits, on 07/02/2009, -0/+25You know, "yanks" use the word anthropomorphic too...
- chuckDontSurf, on 07/02/2009, -0/+25Bacon that serves itself.
- rotundo, on 07/02/2009, -1/+25That's about the most insightful take on why this change has occurred that I have heard. My mother always goes on about how innocent things were in the old days... and I think she really believes it. But any actual knowledge of the past indicates it was worse than today by nearly any measure you choose... except for the ignorance is bliss thing.
- TekTrixter, on 07/02/2009, -0/+24Dugg for responsible parents
- kanojo1969, on 07/02/2009, -4/+27For me, the 'kill a woman' ad is probably the one that best contrasts the state of society then versus today.
On the one hand, to our credit the whole idea of violence against women is simply not acceptable, anywhere, by anyone. That ad couldn't run and I doubt you'd find a single person in the country prepared to defend it.
However, what's interesting is that the *reason* for it being unacceptable is because there's so *much* violence against women in the modern world. (I know, women got beat and raped and killed back then, too, it was just rare to find a woman prepared to have her dignity further abused by speaking up. )
But the reason the ad was permitted back then was because most people were so naive that they couldn't take it in any way but as a joke. We aren't like that any more.
I guess the same can be said for most of these ads, they are in incredibly bad taste, but they do evoke a simpler, more innocent time that we will never be able to return to. - geodebug, on 07/02/2009, -1/+23Yeah, that one disturbingly kind of hot.
- weirdralph, on 07/01/2009, -1/+22Indeed -- like when Fred and Barney were pitching Winstons.
Have to say, I'm not really sure why the BB gun ad was considered "creepy," but the hands-down grand-prize should definitely have gone to the Love's Baby Soft spot. Bad enough that the little girl is all dolled up like a temptress, but to have the ad copy blatantly refer to a pre-pubescent child as "sexy" just boggles the mind! (And I thought Bratz dolls were bad!)
Now, please pardon me while I go wash out the insides of my eyeballs. Yick! - DiscoUnderpants, on 07/02/2009, -3/+24Reading the actual text of that ad is pretty funny as well
"A man marries a women because he loves her. So instead of blaming him if married love begins to cool, she should question herself."
Damn straight. Maybe she should convince her hot sister to join in as well... - ayeroxor, on 07/02/2009, -0/+21The lucky bastard!
- SamSks, on 07/02/2009, -1/+21You might have put your eye out with that!
- MelissaOfTroy, on 07/02/2009, -0/+18The Pears Soap one is really disturbing.
- Elranzer, on 07/02/2009, -1/+19According to the Bible... killing your wife, killing your children, selling your children off to slavery, selling your daughters off to be prostitutes are all as bad as homosexuality, or only as bad as eating shrimp... whichever way you wanna look at it.
- Mujokan, on 07/02/2009, -0/+18Burger King ad currently running in Singapore.
http://zeldalily.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/e9 ... - JDanner3, on 07/02/2009, -0/+18I like the way you speak.
- SamSks, on 07/02/2009, -1/+18The girl with the Teddy bear looks 18! Honest!
- chuckDontSurf, on 07/02/2009, -0/+16*looks @ Baby Ronald* Agghhh!! My eyes!!! Must unsee!!!
- bjs3171, on 07/02/2009, -0/+15seriously, what was up with that rug ad?
- EddiePotato, on 07/02/2009, -0/+14This was back when doctors were performing frontal lobotomies for mild psychological disorders and endorsing various brands of cigarettes.
- Elranzer, on 07/02/2009, -1/+15This country would go bankrupt.
- raustin, on 07/01/2009, -1/+15I thought it was more hilarious than creepy...
- kevro, on 07/02/2009, -0/+11Wow, the McDonald's ad is like "look, Ronald ***** your wife"
- lorem1000, on 07/02/2009, -1/+11I don't think there ever were "good ol' days," and as ***** up as today gets, we're better off.
Edit: [what rotundo said]* - inactive, on 07/02/2009, -2/+12What is wrong with spanking your significant other if she forgets to cook me my dinner?
- kolop1, on 07/02/2009, -2/+12This makes he front page every 6 months or so.
- diggerado, on 07/02/2009, -0/+10I get all the others to some degree, but the soap one I don't understand AT ALL.
- Mujokan, on 07/02/2009, -0/+10This is like domestic Edwardian kitsch. The idea is that the baby was left in the copper bath and managed to somehow overturn it. It has no meaning other than being a picture that would have amused a housewife in about 1910.
- asnider, on 07/02/2009, -1/+10"A Christmas Story"
- chuckDontSurf, on 07/02/2009, -2/+11Wow, being a man 50 years ago was a totally different experience. Just the fact that we find these ads so ridiculous shows how far we've come.
- Elranzer, on 07/02/2009, -0/+9More hilarious than creepy.
- fluidfoundation, on 07/01/2009, -0/+9Looking at the first kid from the Fry's ad, the chocolate's in the diapers
- heroTop, on 07/03/2009, -0/+8Dug for the subtle and creepy Ernie staring at her sniz... O_O
- asnider, on 07/02/2009, -0/+8His pants are so awesome that even a "tiger woman" is willing to let him walk all over her. Basically, if you buy Leggs brand pants, even the most willful of women will let you treat her like *****.
