Fear Mongering: Black Bread!

write-light.livejournal.comA lovely Cold War ad with a hint of "blame the victim" or perhaps a cautionary tale for our times... The text is the star of this ad, even with the great artwork (her EYEBROWS at him) on either side. Read it aloud for best effect.
"But, come to think of it, many of those oppressed people used to have Freedoms too. They got careless, though, and let a lot of power-hungry dictators 'plan' their Freedom right out from under their noses."
Also, that's a doozy of a slogan they came up with there under the logo!

Fear mongering and the Death Campaign
Apr. 2nd, 2017 07:00 ammisstiaThe below ad, from 1926, is real. This ad might have planted the seed for Kodak's "Death Campaign" of 1932. The Death Campaign was designed, photos taken, but never completed or published. It's sometimes alluded to as having actually been ran, but it wasn't and the remnants of it aren't in the Kodak archives. It's at the Hartman Center for Sales, Advertising, and Marketing History.
One ad was entitled 'Thanksgiving 1930 - The last time we were ever to be together' with a photo of a father, 3 children, and 2 grandparents. Another, has a little girl walking by the ocean with the caption 'It was the last picture we got of her'. WHO THE HELL THOUGHT THIS WAS A GOOD IDEA?!?! It's obvious why it never ran; but how did it get so far along? Something we'll never know.

LENOR (German TV ad), 1970
Oct. 6th, 2015 07:38 pmwrite-light.livejournal.com[okay this is just awful, so bear with me]
Narrator: "Now her conscience speaks up."
"The bathrobes - not soft enough."
"But I -"
"The whole wash could be whiter too."
"But I wash so carefully!"
"It's not enough. You must use Lenor."
Narrator: Exactly. Lenor belongs in last rinse cycle.
"WHIIIIITE!!! Like never before."
Children giggle madly.
"Now march! Off to bed."
Narrator: Now she has a good conscience.
"Everyone loves you so."
UGHHHHHHH
