This community is dedicated to sharing, discussing, and exploring vintage advertisements that pushed the boundaries of social norms, taste, and decency. Focusing on ads from the early-to-mid 20th century, the group showcases the playful, provocative, and sometimes controversial side of marketing from a bygone era. Members are encouraged to post old print ads, TV commercials, and other marketing materials that feature risqué themes, from subtle innuendo to overtly suggestive content, and to engage in thoughtful discussion about how these ads reflect the social and cultural attitudes of their time. The group also explores the changing perceptions of sex, gender roles, and ethics in advertising.

This group is for those with an appreciation for the history of advertising and the ways in which media has used shock, humour, and allure to capture attention.

Note: Respectful discussion is encouraged, and members are reminded to keep the focus on historical context and critique rather than sensationalism
