Too good to miss: Top 10 Ironic Ads from History

Here’s one that you don’t want to miss, The Consumerist’s Top 10 Ironic Ads from History. It’s a must see for irony-lovers and advertisers alike!

Not only is it a nice little stroll down advertising and design history, but it makes you laugh at some of the things we thought it would be a good idea to get people to buy (leaded paint, heroin, you know, the usual corner drugstore purchases). It also makes you wonder what we’ll look back on and think of as not such a good idea now.

Also, my favorite is the James Dean PSA for safe driving. Nice.
