Loved seeing a commercial from Nestle drumstick with an attractive blonde slowly eating the ice cream bar in a very sexually charged manner. Won’t see that in todays media. That’s the generation I grew up in.

And people wonder how the USA ended up with a president that sexually assaults women, boasts about sexually assaulting women, and pays hush money to porn actresses!

Good times …

As opposed to now promoting transgender and the idea of no sexes to children. Yup, I’ll take the 90’s.

Well, quite. Turn people into commodities via advertising, don’t be surprised that there’s a trade :-(

Well then, think of what generation we are creating today with this permanent 1984 atmosphere.

Oh come off it. Sex still sells. Sexualized ads are still around, and they're always controversial. They were controversial in the 70s, 80s, and 90s, and they're controversial today. If there was one thing Tipper Gore and Laura Bush agreed on during the 1990s, it was that media was too sexual and violent.

Which US president sexually assaulted women and boasted about it?
