Maybe youve seen it- this is something Ive scanned myself, but it may be floating around on the internet somewhere else.  I nearly choked on my bagel when I first laid eyes on this.  It is just so wrong on so many different levels.

    If theres one thing Ive learned as your humble curator of Retrospace, its that in the 1960s and 1970s, sex sells just about damn near anything.  Weve seen the example of pretty ladies modeling horse manure and a naked chick in an advert for a freaking comb ! Take for instance, this ad for Alka-Seltzer from ...
