I remember that ad when it ran, and yes, it was kosher back then. Why do you think us 30-somethings are so fucked up?

Though perhaps not as extreme...and a different decade, let's not forget a young Brooke Shields in those early Calvin Klein ads.

Hm, 1976 - when Bugsy Malone portrayed a prepubescent Jodie Foster as the ingenue?
Yeah, it was considered okay. Creepy as all hell, especially in retrospect, but fine at the time...

Baby Soft wasn't marketed to children; it was intended to be an adult product used by women. That ad would have probably been meant to imply that if you use BS (!), you'd end up feeling like a little girl again.
A little girl with lipstick, makeup and bedroom eyes.
Well, okay, eww, but it was the 70s...

This is still an issue today...remember the 90s CK ads of people looking too young sprawled out in apparent heat.
Then there was the Chupa Chups pleasure of sucking ads...that were worse than this. Although yeah this is pretty bad.

For some reason, I see this and I think of those Bratz dolls with their come-hither eyes and blow-job lips. Why are they given to little girls?
Innocence has become sexier than you think.
