consume, dominate... decapitate?

The mind-snatchers grab another space. (Thanks to Allan.)

And some advertising misogyny: here and here. (Thanks to James.)

The tie ad is from 1939. I don't know how many North Americans were buying ties or having breakfast in bed during the Great Depression.

But the slacks-and-rug ad dates from 1970, corresponding with the re-emergence of the women's movement on the mainstream radar. Come on, men, don't fall for that shit: dominate!

I don't know about you, but I find seeing a woman's head without a body more than a little disgusting.
