The origin goes back to as far as the1870s when a tobacco company used sexual entendres on its package cover.' If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

FrGamble's profession. AFAIK. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

Car dealers in Minnesota don't sell many convertibles but they sure put them on the sales floor. NOTE: The depiction is NOT selling coffins. Its a calendar for a firm that sells coffins and the market is Funeral Undertakers. No different than a calendar for a wrench company that uses a half nude model when selling to auto mechanics. |

The Catholic church in Poland begs to differ. While sexy girls have been selling a auto products for decades, the church feels that confusing sex and death is in bad taste. Image from 5 years ago.  Image from current calendar.  |

| Evenbob Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 146 Posts: 25011 | Looking at beautiful naked women makes us feel good, no matter who you are. And that good feeling extends to the product they're selling. Even women respond to it in a positive way. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

I think the second image is not selling coffins but merely depicts the young ladies enjoying each other and using a nearby male as a place to rest a cup of coffee. Perhaps an ad for a coffee company or am I missing some subtle imagery. |
