    I know that I'm relatively out on a limb with this opinion, but I detest the idea that these guys are still shilling for alcohol.

    #LetsGoSwitzerlandThe Man Who Does Not Read Has No Advantage Over the Man Who Cannot Read. The biggest obstacle to progress is a habit of “buying what we want and begging for what we need.”You get the Freedom you fight for and get the Oppression you deserve.

    I remember many of these advertisements. This thread is a nice stroll down memory lane.

    I can only begin to imagine the social media shrieks, howls of protest and demands for immediate "CANCELLATION" that would arise if famous athletes of today appeared in advertisements promoting smoking cigarettes, promoting smoking cigars and/or promoting vaping.

    Of course if a famous athlete of today appeared in an advertisement promoting the smoking of "Mary Jane" that would be ok and praised as very progressive.

    My how times have changed.
