"The 60s"? Did it ever stop?

Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works · 11 pts · 99d

I'm not from the 60's, but it's definitely gotten less terrible over time. Not great, just less terrible.

Or i've gotten older and less appealing to the deplorable shitheads.

Watch "Goldfinger" or "Thunderball."

They used to sell Pussy Galore dolls to kids.

More of an art director, though he'd probably take the credit.

The look of "I wanted to toss you out at 30000 feet the minute you came on board." Airlines had height requirements for attendants back then, so she couldn't be as tall as she looks. Still fully capable of going Captain Janeway on you if you press that call button one more time.

Captain Janeway would go genocidal on Borg for that

The advertising company really took their psychoanalysts' advice on this one.

Gotta rope in those rich nepo babies.

And the small print is worse.

Also, there apparently was a "beauty course", they proudly admit. As if the whole thing wasn't misogynystic & objectifying already. It's the sort of "grab'em by the pussy" mentality that informs the current potus.
