Advertising standards and equality for the sexes have come along way in the last four decades. To see just how far, check out the ad for Goodyear Polyglas tyres after the jump.
In the meekest of defences for the copywriting, the ad was reportedly shown during the broadcast for the NFL’s first ever Monday night game in 1970. So it was intended for a largely male audience. Watch the clip to see how flimsy that defence really is.
