Most vintage ads were a lot more fun, being completely devoid of PC cr@p.
In 1969 my brother won a candy selling contest at Forest Hills high school in Marshville NC and of the variety of prizes he could choose from, one was a 22 semi auto rifle and naturally, thats the one he chose. They gave it to him at the school and he brought it home on the school bus.
THAT is a helluva change from today!
