Broomsticks: Creepy, rape-y vintage ad from the 1960s
Apparently the “game” was:
“Ring Around Rosie. Or Carol. Or Eleanor, etc. Fun. But you can only play if you wear Broomsticks slacks.”
Broomsticks, huh? Okay, sure, but what about what she’s wearing? I’ve seen my fair share of sexist ads, but just… wow.
What the hell was this advertising agency thinking? Who approved this shit?
