Unique Maytag Laundry Advert

[launderess]

Have seen so many 50's adverts for little girls helping their mother's with laundry, but this is the first I've seen with a boy.

Thought one of you guys who caught the laundry "bug" early would appreciate having the advert in your laundry room.

I clicked the link and got this:

What the heck is up there? Is my computer tagged with something saying it's from another country, or has one of those extremist groups taken over and imposed censorship on the basis that showing a boy doing "girl chores" constitutes an endorsement of homosexuality along the same lines as Sponge Bob and the little voices in their heads that no one else can hear...?

Strange, I can view it. And I am from the other side of the big pond and have written 'gay' al over me.
