While you may be thumbing through all the steals and deals for the upcoming holidaze, I thought that it might be interesting to take a look back at the crazy ads of yesteryear. Usually for Friday Flashback I try to give a little history lesson, but today I’m skipping it.

Instead I’ll leave you with this thought for which you will better understand after viewing the pics. At first glance, thoughts may go to “look how far we’ve come,” but if truth be told, we haven’t. Check out the 10 Worst Ads for Women and you’ll realize that women are still portrayed as objects. This leads to a really terrifying thought as advertising is in essence, a reflection of society and culture.
