Somewhere along the way, hot women like those in these ads realized they have all the power in relationships with men.

They already knew it back then, that’s why the hot women are in the ads while the copy is generally written for men.

now the media works overtime to make:

husbands look clumsy, stupid or homosexual effete

women look so earnest and capable

old blacks are wise....judges usually...especially black women.

black guy makes white guy look the fool....one of the biggies

white girl is always with black guy.....almost never a white guy with black girl

they always find a way to squeeze in some Oriental slash Latino looking person just to meet quota.....someone from Mars would think the US is minority white judging from Madison Ave and Movies

Muslims are either wise and solemn or maniacs...lol...they got it part right

Jews (American) are usually funny and wise .....and religious.....Israelis are made to look more like cold and icey with Brit accents often....not true at all

which brings up.....Brit accents....the new Nazi accent

abortion nearly always good....at worst just sad.

Homosexuals are treated as Deity.

American Indians.....noble and wonderful.

White Christian Southern Males.....the bottom next to White South Africans

Christianity....very bad unless kumbaya variety.

Western culture.....root of all evil.
anything southern unless black southern....forget it...

I could do this till tomorrow morning....we live in an absurd world where the majority group that mostly founded this nation is now an acceptable target of derision from anyone and the minority groups are given full cover from which to snipe and be hypocrites.

All media with few exceptions are completely surrendered to this and it is orchestrated by folks from various minorities who have an objective....the minimization of western culture in general and the worst part is that whites mostly support their own self destruction because they fear being labeled a bigot.

I never thought I would see this and with 5 children I deal with some aspect of this campaign day in/day out.

Even here.

It’s women who are communicating to men that they won’t give men the time of day if they don’t wear stylish suits from that guy’s store. That’s female empowerment.

Too bad they were dug up again. Let’s bury them for good.

“Oh goody!
More woman bashing from conservative males!

Thank you....I’m gonna bookmark this.”


At least my post 43 reflects good taste, so I escape your charge.

“Every kiss begins with Kay - I.O.W. you will only get some if you give her a shiny bauble.”

Or Ron White’s version of the DeBeer’s ad: “Diamonds... that’ll shut ‘er up!”

Is the woman in the 2nd ad (the car driving one) Goldie Hawn? Sure looks like her.

The classic would be "Coffee, Tea, or Me?"

Was that a real ad, or did Playboy make it up?

Coffee Tea or Me was a paperback book about stewardesses and their relationships. It was supposedly written by a ‘stew’ as they were called back then. It is tame by today’s standards but was considered quite racy when my mother caught me reading it.

What about John Wayne and Maureen O’Hara in the classic The Quiet Man. One lady gives him a stick to beat his wife, then he drags her around pretty good.

I thought that movie was "Mrs. McClintock."

I do remember the “Coffee, Tea or Me” phrase...I don’t know if it was
just the title of the book (amazon link to reissue below), or if it
was also used in an advertizing campaign.

Of course, the ads like “I’m Kirstin. Fly Me.” are so memorable
that I don’t know which airline used that line!

Additionally, I saw some original adverts and archival footage on
Southwest Airlines when they first stormed forth. The stewardesses for
Southwest wore some of the most “micro” dresses ever made as part of
a “uniform”.

You’re right, but the “Fly me” is just as good. My brother in law recently mentioned the SouthWest Airlines uniforms to me. Kind of like Hooters outfits.

What a crack up!!!!

Though I love the song “Isn’t it Romantic,” one verse is really quite sexist:

Isn’t it romantic?
Soon I will have found some girl that I adore.
Isn’t it romantic?
While I sit around my love can scrub the floor.
She’ll kiss me every hour or she’ll get the sack
And when I take a shower she can scrub my back.

Isn’t it romantic?
On a moonlight night she’ll cook me onion soup.
Kiddies are romantic
And if we don’t fight we soon will have a troupe.
We’ll help the population,
It’s a duty that we owe to dear old France.
Isn’t it romance?

“I’m Kirstin. Fly me.” was National Airlines.

And then there’s Continental, who back in the Seventies, when they were “The Proud Bird With The Golden Tail” (and competing against the aforementioned National ad campaign) ran a commercial portraying several stews dancing and singing “We really move our tail for you”. Yeah, they got a little bit of grief for that. Even then.

Amen, bro.

The “crotchety old fart” element around here seems to be growing these days. :p

I suppose it’s the natural consequence of computers becoming easier to use and more accessible, but it’s still annoying. At least most of them are weaned of AOL by now, lolz.
