Friday Freaky Sexist Vintage Ads Time

While I was surfing the web on my intended 5-minute-that-somehow-turned-into-30 break from studying, I came across this on http://www.feministing.com/:


Cos' there ain't nothing worse for a lady to have her man be "bored" at dinner! Only Heinz soup for you now, Harry!

Click here for a larger image. And for the truly non-squemish, check out these ads, for Lysol, a brand of um, a vaginal douche, owch (from the 50s so don't worry, no graphic pictures here).

Are they real? Are they fake? Whatever, they made me throw up in my mouth a little bit.

PS Once more I would like to plug http://www.racialicious.com/, this time for their though-provoking opinion pieces on the passing of Prop 8 and its relationship to communities of colour in California.
