new ads, old

Oh, this is fun. Take a modern product. Reimagine what the ad campaign would have looked like 50, 75, 100 years ago. Gizmodo pointed me to the contest at worth 1000. It's worth taking a look!

My favorite is the one for Cymbalta! Priceless! The Weight Watchers ad below it is pretty good too! (but maybe I say that b/c I've seen most of the art of the original series) See: http://www.lileks.com/institute/frahm/art1.html
