I love how awkward this is. None of it hangs together. Imagine the hapless ad guys who had to come up with this campaign - it's shoe polish, ffs. They're in the midst of the post-war boom in every field, new products all the time, massive advances in science and tech and society and they're stuck peddling a product that would have been kinda ho-hum 50 years ago.

Wow, they really succeeded at making an ad for boobs

It's deceptive advertising, boobs are entirely useless for polishing shoes.

Ah yes, she'll polish that shoe with this nimble palms and cool back-and-forth motion, thwoop-thwoop-thwoop...
