‘Brings Value Home’
Posted by admin on 16 Mar 2009 at 09:12 am | Tagged as: Uncategorized
Aimlessly surfing earlier and my Youtube page had a list of suggested videos and one hour later I had watched far too many advertising breaks from RTE 21 years ago! Insert gendered gaze lens.
This was the first one I viewed and I’m still trying to figure out the reasoning for the flower in the Anadin ad! Painkillers and diet yogurts and car ads were the recurring themes - and germs and dramatic music as one was sold the latest product to get rid of them and thus be a good mother. (Little has changed there then!)
3Castle has quiet a few late 80’s RTE ad breaks on his channel. I maybe back later with more plundered treasures!
Jasus, RTE are still looking for journalists! The Maxwell House advert also had a phallic looking lighthouse… were they telling us coffee makes you horny? Must look more at these ads, they are hilarious… applying Goffman’s Gender Advertisements might be good to look at just how “sophisticated” we weren’t (too academic for this time of night?)
Hi,
Just need to know how to get video from RTE onto youtube. I tried filming it with my camera earlier - it was rejected due to some rule about duplication. Is there any other way it can be done?
