17 Most Offensive Adverts That Would Be Banned Today
 
In the present age of marketing, advertisements often tend to cross limits in a race to elevate the sales or to get the limelight of media. Advertisements often use lies and exaggerations as their main tool for grasping the attention of the masses. But what line did advertisements cross in the past? The answer lies in these offensive, racist vintage adverts:

I thought most of those were pretty humorous. It's like watching an old James Bond movie with Sean Connery, some of the stuff he did to the women in those movies would have people up in arms. Not that it is right but interesting what was acceptable back then.

There are a couple that don't belong, such as the shaving ad and the Volkswagen ad.

The shaving ad literally has nothing offensive on it, and the Volkswagen ad is the most obvious gag ever in the history of the universe.

Another would be the unburnt beer ad, another obvious gag.


I laughed, that makes them better than 90% of the ads nowadays.

I still remember seeing a tube of Darkie toothpaste when family came to visit from Hong Kong in the early 80's.
