Those adds are nothing compared to the controversial ones we have today...
Hopefully blue font wasn't necessary, though I do wonder which adds from today people will look back on as being controversial in another 50 years or so.
I've noticed that a lot of ads today feature interracial families. I suppose they are trying to get with the times.
I imagine we will see more LGBT ads in the near future.
I think we may look back on cleaning product commercials in 50 years time with a bit of puzzlement. They are still heavily aimed towards women which is understandable. I do expect gender roles to continue to change, where men are becoming a bigger buyer of these products.
That's a good observation. I could see that changing as well.
I wonder how all of the erectile dysfunction ads will be viewed in the future. There just seems to be an over abundance of them.

Preach brother! Just wait one day my friend, you'll be the guy in the health and beauty aisle buying feminine products for your daughter. I've done it already! I wanna see an ad for that!

Actually this one did cause controversy. It was suggested the white girl was simply using the black girl as a piece of furniture, quite literally "holding her down" and diminishing her value. It was a commentary on how whites have used blacks to prop them up and do things they don't want to do.
When Michelle Obama did the exact same thing to Gabby Douglas at the White House it was funny and good spirited.
A bit of a stretch, as an African American I didnt see anything offensive at first blush. You would really have to dig to a very deep level to see some symbolism.
Now that cover of Vogue with Lebron though, that was much less of a leap.
It's difficult these days, even with the best of intentions and thoughtfulness people are going to get offended. That's nothing new though. Sensibilities constantly change.
