In the recent weeks I have been watching a lot of the AMC's Mad Men. It's a great drama about a Manhattan based advertising agency in the 1960's. Written and directed by the same people who did The Sopranos. A few weeks ago I was at the office and I stumbled upon an old box of News Week and TIME magazines . . . from the 70's and 80's. Little to say the ads and illustrations reminded me a lot of the ads and artwork I saw on Mad Men. The magazines were so saturated with ads for cigarettes, alcohols, cameras, cars and hotels. The high life. Ideals have changed since then; however, I was excited to see the pop-culture of the time. I scanned in some of my favourites. Check these out.
Jesus with his game face on
Who needs Captain Morgan when you have this guy
Read the captions and enjoy :)
Possibly the greatest knit sweater I have ever seen in my life (bottom right)
Bell Canada keepin' it real
Bell Canada again
Glad to see that ABSOLUT has been putting out great ads since before I was born
And my favourite Canadian product . . . Molson
