Disturbing Ad Campaigns From Yesteryear






What the hell?


It's Ricky the magic Cancer-Elf tempting all passersby with the medicinal benefits of tar and nicotine.


This ad obviously dates back to the carefree good-old days, prior to child labour laws and surgeon generals' warnings. During this golden age all of the finer hotels employed squads of uniformed children to handout cigarettes in the lobby.

A little tar never hurt anyone. You just need to use it on the outside and add some feathers to the cigarette makers.
