Ads You Won't Believe

http://justsomething.co/23-sexist-and-discriminating-ads-that-wouldnt-be-published-today/

Okay....this is the most appalling thing I have seen in a while.

I know that the media has always portrayed women poorly but wow. How could these ever be considered okay for publishing? The ads that disturbed me the most were the ads that demonstrated violence against women. The "Is it ever okay to kill a woman?" and the "If your husband ever found out that you bought store-tested coffee" made me sick. Today, women are still discriminated against, but I cannot imagine what it would be like to be a woman in this time period. The issues that are reflected in these ads are still relevant today, but aren't as socially acceptable, at least most of them anyways. Also, the ads that featured black people were very disturbing. I am more thankful than ever to not live in that time period.

These ads were so extremely disgusting that I kept saying to myself: "this can't be real." Does anyone have more knowledge in this department and could tell me whether these ads are accurate? I really hope they aren't, but I wouldn't be surprised if they were real.
