I'm surprised this was allowed in 1993 adverts
Check out some of the video game ads from that period. Pretty wild stuff.
Check out what Marzocchi's marketing team was publishing for mountain bikers in the 90's/early 00's. The calendar my local bike shop had pinned up was basically softcore porn.
it was a different time
Man, we got a job to do a demo in one of the old steel mills here. Just remove some framing for the rollers and fill the holes. a few months of work. Got to explore the shit out that plant. It got closed in the early 2000s. There was porn everywhere. You open any door, porn. You open a desk, stacks, and stacks of porn magazines. You open a locker, full sized porn. You open a toolbox, yep there it is titties. You go to the bathroom.... oddly, no porn. You walk into an office porn, hiding.
Like they say, going is a problem these days. Nah, the lads back then did it just as much.
It was a good time.
You might even say it was... "U T O P I A"...
