Product Description

Review

'...a brilliantly funny collection of barmy ads...a perfect stocking filler for Christmas.'
--News of the World


Product Description

"The Harder a Wife Works, the Cuter She Looks!" is the new, paperback edition of "What the Doctor Smokes". It celebrates a time of innocence, when advertisers could tell us any old garbage and we'd believe it.From the minor untruth - typewriters that make the working day so much fun (really?) - to the amazing claim - cigarettes that are recommended by doctors and electric corsets (ouch!) that promise the perfect figure - and featuring some that can't ever have seemed a good idea - such as a chin reducing head cage - this book contains over 80 of the most outrageous adverts ever to have been thought up by ad execs.Hilarious and shocking, "The Harder a Wife Works, the Cuter She Looks!" reminds us not to believe everything we're sold!

4.0 out of 5 stars the harder a wife works, the cuter she looks, 7 April 2009
By V. streymoy (The Faroe Islands) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
A really funny book I laughed aloud when I read it. This book is surreal in a way because with the knowledge, behaviour and standars we have today it is absolutely mind boggling what advertisers allowed themselves just 30-50 years ago. If you need a good argument why you think smoking is healthy read this book.
