Cellophane®—For Fresher Dead Babies.

(click ad) Just an amazingly clueless DuPont buygone ad. FYI: My dad worked as a pipefitter at a DuPont plant for 37 years. He's got a pension and asbestosis (image via). previously in: disastrous vintage chemical company ads.

This is amazing. I'm guessing it's the best thing I shall see today. Thanks.

I don't know what's worse--the baby wrap or the yellow jumpers.

Perhaps the cellophane was a good idea. If they lived, they would grow up to wear ribbon belts and pink polo shirts.

Looks pretty useful to me. I cannot see the humour

This looks hilarious - and is - but we are currently creating a modern day version of this ad:

The wall street journal wrote an article this week about how the industry group for the metal soda and canned food industry is going to hire a pregnant woman to start making positive campaigns for BPA. BPA is the chemical used in hard plastics and canned food that has been show - even by the FDA - to be harmful to children and to inhibit chemotherapy efficacy. It is currently being outlawed on a state by state basis (including the city of Chicago, which I guess is a state now.) May their ads show up on your blog 5 decades from now!
