Martini & Rossi – 1960s
This Martini & Rossi ad from the 1960’s is truly bizarre. Why is the woman in a cage being compared to their product? Why is the woman in a cage at all? The fact that we have all of these questions shows that this is really not such a great ad like they hoped.
Honda – 1970s
It’s pretty wild to think that an advertisement from a major car manufacturer like Honda would blatantly put out an ad that said “women don’t understand rack-and-pinion steering.” However, if you take a closer look, you’ll see that the company is actually saying that women like cars for the same reason that men do, so in a strange twist, this isn’t a sexist ad after all. It’s still a very strange one, though.
