Remember those machines back in the 60's that shook you booty. You put a wide band around your waist and the machine shook you. I never had one so I don't know if they worked or not.

What's the new TV show about advertising in the 50's and 60's? MAD MEN

Morality or ethics has nothing to do with selling harmful or useless junk.

This morning, I heard a satirical radio ad that went: "First you bought an
I-Pod, then a Nano, then an I-Phone, but YOU still don not feel fulfilled?!
Now from the makers of ego centric gadgets, I-Suck (you then hear a guy recognizing he feels better already in the back ground with his I-Suck)." The closing tag line is: "Wherever useless portable white electronic devices are sold."

They missed the craziest one of all; In the 1940's Phillip Morris had a print ad with a painting of a beautiful woman that read."Hey, girls! Want to lose weight? Enjoy a Phillip Morris while staying thin for your husband!"
