***

Seems like somebody in the marketing department of yesteryear had a rather unorthodox approach to board games. This risque ad leaves little to the imagination and plenty of questions about what exactly constituted family game night during the swinging '60s. While today's adverts are all about hashtag relatability, vintage ads were clearly no stranger to shock value. Who knew that a simple gathering over a game board could suggest such spicy evenings? Remember, Monopoly never started with a wink and an invitation like this one.

Offensive or funny? Maybe funny because what else can you do but laugh at something that was actually totally acceptable at one time? I'm not sure I would have liked being a woman in the past. What about you?

Was this not an article for entertainment? Times have changed, people have smartened up and most don't agree with these ads. These would never come out now since yes obviously sexism is not funny and I did not say that. You need to chill.
