I Wanna' get in on this Quadraphonic Stuff!!!

[Obbop]

Hi kids,

Maybe this graphic has already been displayed. If so, I didn't see it and it would take too long to seek out one pic out of the herd of pics here so I toss this out now.

Kinda' obvious that audio equipment is advertised so as to attract the male eye. I never did meet a female audiophile. I also noticed at a friend's used record/tape/CD/etc store that record collecting is mostly males and the gals arriving were looking for newer more recent music at lower cost than new. Guys collected and listened. Gals listened and interacted with music in a manner a bit different than many dudes did. Females bought used disco records. Guys ignored them, mostly. There are always exceptions and variability. I usually deal with generalities in my writings.

Without further delay . . .

If they had Atmos back then in 9.2.4 format, they would have had 15 women in the photo...Very expensive, just like Atmos! Nowadays they cannot do something like that because it is improper.

Ever been to Vegas? Sex sells.

Did you notice that the laughs are displayed as 7.2.4?

Now you have to put them in the proper places in the room.

At my advanced age a regular bowel movement is one of life's great pleasures.

This reminds me the Cars Advertising for men. Performance, power, Girls around there...

Now I see more cars advertising on TV targeted for women. Easy driving (electric/hybrid automatic), beautiful interiors, etc. Of course, the driver in the commercial is a woman, looking as an empowered woman, and there is NO beatiful men standing around the car. Sometimes, if men appear, they shyly nod what the woman says.

Advertising design with target consumer in mind, and the politically correct for the time.

Cute dogs always seem to go over well. Look how many of the pharmaceutical commercials have a cute dog somewhere in them...or a flying pig...

The ads are sixty years old. So the models are well into their 80s, if they’re still on the right side of the daisies.

Yeah, along with much of the demographic on this forum.
