"Peggy Olson: Sex sells.
Don Draper: Says who? Just so you know, the people who talk that way think that monkeys can do this. They take all this monkey crap and just stick it in a briefcase completely unaware that their success depends on something more than their shoeshine. YOU are the product. You- FEELING something. That's what sells. Not them. Not sex. They can't do what we do, and they hate us for it."​

Thanks for the link. I've been looking for a product to keep my elastic girdles fresh. Now I know Amolin is the answer to my prayers.

As a woman, I am both outraged and amused by these ads...how many douching products?!

 

[Hellie]

Don Draper: Let me ask you something, what do woman want?
Roger Sterling: Who cares? ​

..... back in the day when men were unafraid to wear belted "attention getting" cardigans. Oh the joy! Splendid.
These are so bad, they're great.
Men are better than women.*cough* (nobody's mentioning the peddle pushers and long socks)

PS: There seemed to be a lot of douching going on them days.... any douch-bag products for these boys?
These make one cringe, but they're mighty funny, Seeker. Thanks for posting.

billy scissors asked Silke, not you.

I am aware of that, but I'd still like to know if it means something.

If you read my Dennis Hopper RIP thread, you'll find out.

Heh heh, "The most fastidious women use Amolin after the bath
all over the body..." Oh my God, this stuff is incredible...
It goes without saying of course, that while the women were expected
to be like that, it was okay for the man to come home stinking of beer
with lipstick on his collar.......


Sad times indeed.....

 

[JoyDiv007]

Those were great!

I don't see anything about Scandinavians in that thread.

Ads aren't really much better today, people just don't notice it as much.






I am Scandinavian too. Does it mean something? Does it have something to do with Dr Oetker?

 

[Mars_Rover]

That's an interesting observation. I don't think a company would get away with advertising a douche that is "germ-killing" and that promises to make you less repulsive to your husband, but still advertisers make their living on encouraging self-hatred in women, preying on human insecurities about getting older, being unattractive, etc. Advertising to males tends to go the opposite way: flattering them and playing up to their egos.

Me neither!

I don't know. Maybe it just means that we're fabulous.
