Keep Her Where She Belongs
This ad was a fail on multiple accounts, but first and foremost because we have no idea what the product is (is it the shoe?) and what company it was for. The other shocking aspect of this ad is the fact that it insinuates that a woman should be kept “where she belongs,” which is apparently on the floor with a shoe.
Mattel M-16 Marauder
It’s pretty crazy to see this advertisement from the company that we all associate with Barbie dolls. However, the company decided to try to market to young boys with the toy M-16 Marauder rifle. Once again, due to the very real mass shooting crisis in America, this ad would never cut it these days.
