This week I ran into this extremely sexist ad online. It was part of a slideshow compiled by CNN on crappy ads used in the past. I think it was titled "What Were We Thinking." What really attracted me to this ad was how blunt it was. We still have sexist ads nowadays but they are played off as a joke, and not nearly as straight to the point as this one. Another shocker was the patron of the ad, Kellogg's! They are supposed to be a moral, family oriented company nowadays. What is crazier is that the ad is meant for woman. It's supposed to convince women that if they take these vitamins and clean more, they will become more attractive to their husbands. Well I couldn't determine what the font is, probably because its hand-drawn. I also noticed the underlining which is a huge mistake by current design standards.
