Advertising is a powerful force shaping attitudes and behavior since the beginning of the 20th century when it was featured on radio, and then television in the late 1940s. Besides being discriminating, vintage ads were full of misnomers. Interesting fact – the first American advertising to use a sexual sell was created by a woman – for a soap product. Whether we like it or not, it is a piece of history worth seeing, as are these 25 offensive vintage ads.
