SUNDAY SMILE

Remember these?   Well, I've found some more.  Oh how times have changed.

I did receive a vacuum cleaner  once for Christmas many, many, years ago.  Yes, Ian is still alive.   I was young and stupid back then.

Why was I not aware of this? What a horrible mother I was insisting that my kids drink water or fruit juice.

 

The best fifteen cents a mother ever spent.

Am I the only one that detects some sexual overtones here?

Men are better than women?  Yeah, if you're gay!  There's some serious man-on-man eye contact going on there. I think this is the precursor to Brokeback Mountain.  "Nice knickerbockers friend"  

"Why, thank you." This ad was definitely written by a gay man.

Tracy Harper's mom was more concerned about  her daughter looking "fashionable" than she was about her daughter being labeled chubby. Tracy was born a few decades too early, by today's standards she's practically anorexic.

And we're concerned about our kids playing with toys manufactured in China. 

Cultivate alcoholism more like it.

Because I want nothing but the best for my boys. 

And here all these years I've been keeping cellophane away from my babies.

Can anyone say sexist?  Finest projection? Just what is it they're selling? Do you think those twins are adopted?

So not true! Trust me on this one.

Dear Adman; Sooner or later your wife will drive home the fact she hates this ad by running over you.

Blow in my face buddy and see the places you'll go!

CHEATING

If you didn't know already, Matthew, his wife, and all four of their children, have been staying with us for the past month while they wait to move into their new home.  Added to that, we have had quite a few extra visitors as well so needless to say, I have been busy.  This will explain why I haven't been posting much.  For some of you this is a more than adequate excuse but some nags readers think their needs come first.  You know who you are!  Anyway....today a friend posted a link on my Facebook page that made me laugh out loud and I just had to share it with you.  I especially liked the movie case (read the description of the movie above the title).  So basically I am cheating but some bloggers might consider this "featuring".   Thank you Ninon, and the rest of you enjoy!

Here's the link.

THE GOOD OLD DAYS

Every now and again I find myself wishing I could go back and live in a simpler time and then I see things like this.

I'd be up for this if there was an ipad on it but seriously, kitchen appliances?  and crying? If only it were that easy.

This ad tells moms that their kids will be cool as teenagers if they start their kids drinking soda early.  Yeah, they'll be cool alright...and fat...and diabetic...and have a mouth full of cavities, but they'll be cool.

I sho' hope for Rastus that the NAACP started up not long after this ad appeared.  

Well I have to admit that in my house, cooking is my job but only because I can't stomach the grey scrambled eggs my husband would serve otherwise.  I wonder if this ad campaign had another that said"The Chef does everything but clean up after itself-that's what wives are for!"  Daniel will love this ad.

I like how this ad is sure to point out that the revolvers are not toys yet they show a little girl playing with one. I guess at least they are not being sexist.  All guns should be made this way.  No husband would be able to say "I was cleaning my gun when it accidentally went off and killed my wife...while she was sleeping in bed." If we ever get a gun (and we won't) it will be one of these. I really do have to stop watching Tru TV.
