“It’s nice to have a girl around the house.” – Mr. Leggs
Here is another ad by Mr. Leggs’ and it seems that all they did was make sure that women were somewhere on the floor in their ads. The ad is quite offensive since it shows a woman’s disembodied head on the floor as well. This ad goes a step further than just offending women. It goes on to offend animals as well.
Her head is attached to a tiger-skin rug and it is a violation of federal wildlife conservation laws, not to mention highly disturbing. The man in the picture has also propped his foot over the woman’s head as if to claim the kill. This is the same way that many hunters prop their foot over the heads of the animal that they have just shot.
The ad copy, “Though she was a tiger lady, our hero didn’t have to fire a shot to floor her… If you’d like your own doll-to-doll carpeting, hunt a pair of these he-man Mr. Leggs Slacks,” again missed the mark at being funny although it definitely got people’s attention.
