With the invention of television, came the new wave of advertising: commericals. Everyday, millions of us are talked into all kinds of products, but for all the ridiculously blatant ads out there, perhaps none are funnier than those of the 50's & 60's, the 'golden age' of advertising (Watch tv's Mad Men for more on this) Case in point: Salem Cigarettes...hilarious! It is actually selling its product as "fresh air"...I could youtube these all day.
