Advertising Animals?

Is advertising really for the greater good of the product?  Or do all of the customers see the company that’s producing the product as pigs?  Well I personally believe anyone who takes advertising that seriously has issues to begin with.  Advertising is to catch people’s eyes and put the product in mind for when a person is need of a product of that sort.  In class we watched a video called “Killing Us Softly 2,” and then afterward we discussed it.  In class I thought it was pretty funny how some of the people in class got upset with how companies advertise.  Like I said, advertising is to catch someone’s eye, not to show what people do with their product or what their product symbolizes.  Ads that appeal to me are the humorous ads.  If an ad is funny, it will stick in the mind and I will most likely discuss the ad with someone else.  Ads don’t discuss me.  I have honestly not seen an ad that has made me upset of disgusted.    The one part in the ads I do not like is when all the ads are the same.  Yes, we all see the sexual ads, yes we see the funny ads, but when is someone going to come out a make something we haven’t seen yet.  The funniest add out there isn’t funny enough.  Companies, get creative and make people want to buy your product!

  1. I agree it gets kind of boring seeing a bunch of different companies promoting different objects, in the exact same way, good point.
