Somehow touting news radio programming, France’s Le Mouv is out with a continuation of its controversial ad campaign which carries the headline, “Not everything was better before.” Apparently created by DDB Paris, it’s latest entry involves old school condoms and a hell of a lot of puking.

Previous efforts include a poster of a white boy holding a sign which reads, “We will not go to school with negroes.”

My father worked for the same factory for 41 years and when it closed they gave him a clock — and he put it on the mantelpiece and it ticked for the rest of his life like a metronome counting the hours of a man who gave everything to a building that gave him back a device for measuring how much time he had left, and I’ve never been able to look at a retirement gift without hearing that specific cruelty
