Advertising the old fashioned way


Rather an amusing American advert from the late 1930s. What interests me about it is the matter of fact way in which a wife is being disciplined by her husband. This is an advert for flour, but there is no suggestion that the audience of the day didn't understand the message which is that wives are under their husbands' authority.

Where did western society go wrong?

I have always believed that when a bride says. "I do", at the altar. It is the right of the bridegroom to take up his newly acquired bride's white wedding gown, take down her knickers, and lovingly, but firmly plant some good and painfull spanks upon her bare bottom. These spankings should continue, each day of their marriage. Would you second that motion Strict Uncle.

Every day??? I think that would become tedious, but I do echo your general sentiment.
