Remember the Good Ol’ Days?

I did a bit of dabbling on YouTube and found some fantastic old commercials. Most of them are from the age of innocence and naiveté. Back when smoking was sexy and endorsed by everybody. Who would have thought that having a creepy Ronald McDonald, waterskiing while smoking, or having Barney Rubble smoking would be a logical commercial?!  Check out the Windows 1.0 Steve Ballmer ad. It makes them seem like a start-up doomed to fail.I wonder if those guys in MadMen came up with these? Boy has society come a long way. Now it seems weird to see an ad or commercial for cigarettes. How the times have changed. Thankfully for the better.
