Yowza! This young lady obviously knew how to project, and then some!

While earlier advertising may have had some risque elements to it, the TV spots, today, make those earlier endeavors look like Sunday School lessons.

I am amazed by the modern ads that have shapely women wiggling into underwear, and models, in designer jeans, dancing in front of the camera while close-ups zoom in on their crotches and rear ends. Were those to have appeared back in the day of the uplifting experience of the model, above, an obscenity trial would have rocked the nation.

We had a rule when our kids were young in the 70s and 80s, if a toy they wanted had been advertised on TV they weren't having it as it was likely not to be worth having.

That’s about as effective as:

Show him it’s a woman’s world by purchasing and wearing this dress

These are fabulous! I hate to say it but these are strong justifications for governments intervening.

Why do we need government involved in this area?

The less government intervention the better.
