Offensive or funny? Maybe funny because what else can you do but laugh at something that was actually totally acceptable at one time? I'm not sure I would have liked being a woman in the past. What about you?

@Daniel is right, some of these are spoofs. But still, these are all funny though! Awesome post! Made me laugh my heart out.

It is still the same just different methods and messages, depends on what they want to sell at the time, sometimes they create a trend and market it or use real problem people are suffering from to sell things that ppl don't want. once that product stops making enough profit they will change the product and with it the message again. the funny things tho is thatwhen ppl were eating healthy food they convinced ppl to eat junk food and now they are trying to go back to eating healthy.

Too funny!! LOL

I agree m4nd4 it's all the same just not as in your face

Better things to do with your hands, lmao!!!!

Our base gym had that exercise machine in a back corner in the 70's, I loved playing with it while my parent were working out. You know, come to think of it, I Was really skinny back then!

You guys that are freaking out need to open your eyes to our society, it's all the same, they just don't have to "spell" it out for you. Sexism is everywhere in the media, they glamorize it. It's stupid and it's the way it's always been, hence the proof here. So my advice to you is to disassociate yourself from it all if it truly makes you unhappy... Or laugh about it.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂okay I'm dead. If I ever see an ad like that in this century though WW3 will break out lol

These are hilarious

Too funny!!!
