Tareyton cigarettes ad (1965)
(lemmy.nz)
“Hey, boss, that model you’ve been assaulting and promised the cigarette ad to… well… you left quite a mark…”
“Hold on, I’ve an idea…”
“Brilliant, boss.”
They could have set this up to make her look empowered and strong but they went with the abused, hiding in a shawl look.

My thoughts too. A picture of two boxers would be more appropriate. I get that women sell and it wasn't progressive enough to have a female fighter in the art, but I don't get "triumphant fighter" from the model here, and that's obvs what the tagline suggests.
Tareyton's Cigarettes: the breakfast of champions
This was a bizarre running campaign for decades. They'd rather fight...
There were ones with men too but yeah, this has really aged out.
This almost looks like something you'd see in Idiocracy.
yeah

Damn, I guess were were always closer to that movie than we'd care to admit.

These are sort of satirized in Idiocracy. (I could have read any comment here to realize how redundant my comment is before I made it.)
"Hey boss what do black eyes look like?" "It's in the name your moron get back to work!"
Can you imagine Darren pitching this one to Samantha?
So meta.
But yes and then he learns a valuable lesson about respecting women, or something.
Maybe they'll have an argument between themselves as the boss is leaving their home after having dinner, and Samantha will twitch him a black eye as he's leaving for work the next morning, leading the boss to think Samantha socked him one, and Darren can see how funny that is.
oh well...
Absolutely unhinged thing to print

So was beating your wife. The past is the worst.
yup. it is decidedly uncool around here to be nostalgic of the past. mainly because one way or another you end with Chornobyl and some other shit.
