Jezebel brought my attention to the vintage ad above. As they said, this lipstick ad will definitely blow you away.

I’m hardly a feminist, but really? It’s an ad for lipstick, so it’s safe to assume it’s targeted towards women. I’ll ask again, really?

Try this Teleflora ad from the Super Bowl:

The company got so many complaints of sexism it had to issues apologies and $15 off coupons. Sexism or not (that’s in the eye of the beholder), it’s pretty clear this wasn’t the work of a chick.
