I'm a Self-Cleaning Oven

Mama Shakes just forwarded me a bunch of old adverts that are tres funny—doctors recommending cigarette brands and all that jazz. But the best one is the ad for Lysol Douche, about which Mama S. says: "Nothin' says lovin' like cleaning yourself like an oven!" Indeed. Personally, my favorite part is the spiderweb-themed narrative about stanky poon ruining their otherwise perfect marriage. Too much time washing the floors, not enough time washing the ladybits, I guess!


In doing a little research on this advert, I found some more old Lysol Douche ads (here and here, as examples), and the whole "he won't love you with that nasty snatch" seems to be a running theme. Of course, it takes a pretty compelling argument to convince women to scald their vaginas with a product also suitable for scouring floors.
