Seriously?

WHAT IS THIS NONSENSE?! When I first saw this I was shocked. Shocked and confused, one of the worst combinations. After thoroughly analyzing this ad from the 50's I began to question the advertisements that have been released during that era. I mean, put a tapeworm into your body to eat all of your nutrients, vitamins, and fat in your body that make you healthy by the way, to make you skinnier? Well in my opinion that is complete and utter B.S. This blunt  and straight forward advertisement makes me feel nauseated and uncomfortable. Not only is this inappropriate, but it is sending the wrong message to women. Women shouldn't have to parasites in their body to feel go about themselves, they can do whatever they feel like to feel good about their selves at any weight they're comfortable at.  Accept everyone for who they are and accept yourself for who you are.
Amazing. Another stupid ad that makes my eyes roll to the back of my head out of shock. If someone had the audacity to blow smoke in my face I wouldn't follow him anymore nor would I have any attraction to him, but rather I do very harsh things to his face while screaming inappropriate slurs. I do not want to die early, I want to live a long and healthy life. Smoking is overrated as are ads like these. This bad habit is not sexy, cool, and well, sorry to break it to the constant 2 pack a day smokers out there but there are other ways to relieve your stress. Other ways that will not damage your teeth, lungs, and heart. So ladies and gents, go find another not so bad habit to relieve your stress!


Oh, Lard. Lard will be the absolute death of humans on earth if they don't suffer from the break down of our economy, or global warming. Lard is a form of pig fat which is often used in unhealthy foods we eat on a daily basis. Every time we swallow a chunk of a Big Mac or a McNugget we are swallowing out way to death, slowly and slowly. This ad implies that the more unhealthy you eat, you happier you will be, but this advertises the opposite of reality. In reality, If you eat more lard it will accumulate in your system and the fat will clog up your arteries causing you to have a heart attack. Does that seem like a happy life to you? I don't think so. Does being obese sound happy to you? Eh, I don't think so either.


Analyzing these advertisements have made me feel disgusting and gross. I have recently turned the other cheek by attempting to eat healthier by staying away from fast foods, fatty foods, and exercising more. Ads these days have somewhat changed, since dove has come out with their new campaign where it advertises inner beauty and believes that appearance shouldn't be key. That is a major movement in media history since advertisements like that almost never occurs. But there are those millions of ads over the world still contradicting inner beauty by subtly saying that appearance and a perfect figure is key. Anyways, stay strong, smoke free, and healthy. Ciao!

I agree when you when you say how these advertisements are ridiculous. Like how they're telling us to put tapeworms in us so we could get skinnier? Ew. YAY "Women shouldn't have to parasites in their body to feel go about themselves, they can do whatever they feel like to feel good about their selves at any weight they're comfortable at. " I TOTALLY agree when you say that because women should feel confident in who they are. Smoking is definetly something that isn't attractive and I wouldn't follow someone who blew that cancer breath in my face either! Lard is so discusting, I don't understand how you're truely happy when you're eating something that gross.

I totally agree with you on this post. These advertisements are so dumb, it makes me question how naive people were back then. " This bad habit is not sexy, cool, and well, sorry to break it to the constant 2 pack a day smokers out there but there are other ways to relieve your stress. " THANK YOU! Someone finally typed my first thought when seeing this add. There are definately more ways to relieve your stress other than trying to slowly kill yourself with a Cancer stick.
