In a time where that would not be frowned upon I guess. I can't even imagine how the public would react if something like that came out nowadays.

You say that like it's a bad thing...

I think sex can be used in advertising as long as it's used equally, you know with an equal number of dudes as girls.

There's an ad out there for the Ro80 with "Ro80" written with "o" around a woman's navel - and with underboob. Can't seem to find it on the internet, though.

The irony is that back in the day people were more conservative.

Possibly worse.

Sex is still used in car advertising. It's just more subtle these days.

Wait, I think I'm missing how that first image is sexist.

It's not. It's a safety image.
