The Dirtiest Ad Of The 1940's

OK, classless and silly, in a 1940's novelty sort of way...but dirtiest?

OK, it's funny to laugh at the idea that anybody would pay for this tie, that you'd actually wear a tie to work that turns into a glowing sexual harassment billboard in the dark. And the concept that it will cause AWE is just an example of Clarke's Law at work. But filthy?!?

Magnificent? High class? Distinctive?

OK, OK, make fun of it...but dirtiest ad of the 1940's? How can I possibly claim that?

Just read this:

Hidden batteries? Horseplay? "A thing of loveliness...emerges gradually to life, touched by the wand of darkness, and your girl will gasp with wonder as it takes form so amazingly."

Wow.

Wertham was right.

Ad from Atomic Bomb Comics #1 (1946)
