Actually I don't think so
I doubt if anything like that ad would be allowed today at all, they were much more innocent times back then. I had exactly the same thought when I saw some UK Persil ads from the late 1960s. And its probably just as well that you would not see this kind of ad now, although of course the same sort of evils existed back then too.
It may be worth removing such ads from the POD cycle just to be on the safe side Al | ||

I've never found this ad to be something that would arouse someone. I don't see where this could be deemed sexual or perverted in the least. One must take into consideration that this was a simpler, more innocent time. To think otherwise is giving in to the prevailing sentiment of political correctness. To take it out of the POD rotation would be a shame.

Funny...
Years ago I had two friends who worked in the advertising department of a store chain called Prange's in Wisconsin. I wouldn't be surprised if some of you remember that store. They are long gone now.
Anyway the adveristing was done out of their corporate office in Green Bay and almost every single week they would get some kind of complaint from someone about the slightest hint of a nipple or the slightest trace of pubic hair or something corny like that. It was exhausting for them because of the extra effort they had to put in to be sure nothing like that was visible. This particular ad shows much more than that and by today's standards would probably be considered mild child porn or somthing nuts like that. | ||

Ralph,
Do I ever remember Prange's! It was a fantastic dept. store to shop at, with a staff that knew what they were talking about. It was "the" upscale store to shop at in Wausau, Penney's was 2nd, then Sears. They had an awesome men's dept., and a cologne counter that was out of this world. Their jewelry dept. was fantastic as well. When they had a sale, it was a blowout. I got my first charge account at Prange's. Their Christmas displays, and the "Trim-A-Tree" seasonal dept. was out of this world! Can you tell that I loved, and still miss this store? It is now a Younker's store, which is part of Carson, Pirie?, Scott. A mere shadow of what Prange's was, to me anyway.

Tim,
I knew someone would remember it the way I did. I am a housewares freak, and they had a closeout room hidden in the back of the housewares department that few people knew about. Generally, 80% off. Man, I got some good deals there.
Those sales associates really were lifers and good at what they did. It's too bad. | ||
