It is no wonder we have problems with a legacy of sick attitudes like this. And I am old enough to remember the 50's - it sucked big time, especially if you were a child, a woman, gay or a person of color.

I left this same comment with the Daily Mail as I was shocked to find that a lot of people thought the ads were alright and were even nostalgic about those times. What a bunch of dinosaurs!
