The Good Old Days

If you are a Mad Men fan, you probably wonder about the really old ads, the golden age of television spots. Before the FDA became involved, it’s truly amazing what actually aired. No wonder cigarette ads were banned from TV. When they had the opportunity, they really pushed the boundaries.

There is a plethora of old cigarette advertising out there, you can find them if you dig around. I do find this one particulary entertaining. Flintstones. Cartoons, cigarettes and kids. Amazing! Imagine getting anything even remotely close to this approved in this new regulated world...
