		<description><![CDATA[I love vintage ads. They certainly didn’t beat around the bush back then. They told you, in very frank and explicit terms, why you needed to buy this product — you were too fat, you were too ugly, you were single!
In these times of subliminal messaging, where the misogyny behind an ad is hidden in subtext [...]]]></description>
