Oh When Times Were Simpler





Quiz:

1. How many seconds do you think these commercials would last on television these days?

2. How many seconds do you think these commercials would last on television if Gloria Allred and Rosie O'Donnell didn't exist?

3. Do you think these commercials would be more interesting if a young, pre-feminist Gloria Steinem played the neighbor lady?

4. How much do you hate instant coffee?

5. Divorce rates were at an all-time low during the 1950's and babies were poppin' out left and right. Why was this?

a.) Women could not obtain financial independence due to the limited job opportunities available to them
b.) Religious faith was still strong, keeping divorce socially taboo
c.) Because the man of the house said "No divorces!" and that was that. Sure, there were tears, but she dried her eyes after hubbie took her out to get a new pair of nylons
d.) Foldger's Instant Coffee (tastes like fresh perked!) allowed the wife to stop making shitty coffee and make her man happy, and thus allowing the marriage to be perfect.

2. Without Gloria Allred and Rosie O, these commericals would be on 24 hour rotation (well okay, only during Fox News broadcasts)

3. Yes, I believe it would be equivalent to Ivory Soap having a porn star in their commercials.

4. I hate instant coffee more than you'll EVER know.

5. d for DUH
