Contest entry

[gorkabear.livejournal.com]

From Spain, 1960s (And remember that machism comes from "macho", the Spanish word for "male)

(It's actually a repost with an improved version)

My own translation of the words in the ad:

WOMAN: I need your help. I need to check with you a terrible problem. It's about my husband. His modd worsens every day. Our home has become a real hell. He's always irritated and he spends days without addressing a word to me. Sometimes he has anger attacks. When he speaks to me, it's always shouting and with bad words. He never kisses me goodbye.
GIPSY WOMAN: Well, don't tell me anymore! Have you ever thought that your husband works long hours and has the right to get a warm greeting when he gets home? Check this and make sure he always gets his glass of Soberano brandy. You'll see how this works
SPEAKER: Have a glass of Soberano every time you wish to taste a good brandy (cognac). Soberano by González Byass
