Line 6:
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5LvLn9PWln8 These fruit drink adverts] were made and broadcast in the UK in the 1980s. Especially weird because "Kia ora' is Maori for hello, and has nothing to do with the American South.
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jCKxWQCs3f0 1960's Jell-O Ad]. Is pretty good commercial, no?
* The earliest [[

* [[CSA Confederate States of America]] includes what they lead you to believe are commericals for fictious products, all including out landishly out dated black stero-types and caricatures as mascotts. Then as the credits role it's revealed almost all of these products were real or based on a real product. The companies were forced to adapt with changing times once their advertising content (specifically dark face protrayals and certain word choices) grew to be considered racist.
Line 28:
* "Judy's Turn to Cry", the sequel to "It's My Party (and I'll Cry if I Want To)" by Lesley Gore. Our heroine, jilted by her boyfriend, kisses another guy -- whereupon the jealous Johnny hits this interloper and takes her back. This is presented as a triumph over rival Judy. Lesson learned, girls -- don't expect your boyfriend to be faithful to you, but you had sure better be faithful to him.
* The original version of Kentucky's state song, "My Old Kentucky Home," written in 1853, featured lines that referred to black people as "darkies." In 1986, after the term was deemed offensive, the word was replaced with "people."
* Many [[The Sixties|sixties]] songs [[What Do You Mean It Wasn't Made On Drugs?|were written and/or sung while high]]. But back then, drugs were used for "expanding your mind" rather than trying to be cool. (I'm lookin' at you, [[The Grateful Dead (Music)|Jerry Garcia]]!) These days, though, singers who do drugs get a lot of flak from fans and bandmates, or at least more than sixties singers would.
** Garcia, [[The Beatles]], [[The Rolling Stones]], etc. most certainly were criticized and served time in jail for their substance abuse and rock excesses in [[The Sixties]] as well; Mick Jagger and Keith Richards' drug bust in 1967 was very controversial.
* Some older rock songs, such as [[The Beatles (Music)|The Beatles]]' "Run for Your Life" and [[The Rolling Stones (Music)|The Rolling Stones]]' "Under My Thumb", can be a little problematic for post-feminist ears.
Line 70:
*** Given that it is a cartoon in a genre characterized by its use of visual metaphor, I don't see how anyone could find that image shocking at any time in history unless they were completely unfamiliar with the idea of visual allegory.
**** It's also a reference to his well-known earlier work doing advertising for ''Flit'' insecticides.
* Older works will often show [[Free
** Possibly even more jarring when you consider that children today are probably safer than they were then. And if you go back far enough, to the point where children were working in factories, fighting in wars, or otherwise doing things that would seem insane to modern audiences. But it's a truism that, in cultures with a significantly high enough mortality rate, the "we can always make more" mentality tends to be much more common.
** This fact is curiously alluded in ''[[Digimon Tamers]]'', when Takato's parents discuss if they should let their pre-teen son and his dinosaur pet go to an strange world where God Knows Which Dangers Lurk.
