Essay Introduction & Conclusion--due Tuesday, Dec. 15, before midnight


Type a draft of your introductory paragraph and the concluding paragraph here. Each should be five-seven sentences, right, to make a solid, standard paragraph?
A solid paragraph has a topic sentence, supporting ideas, then a clincher with a transition to the next paragraph.
An introductory paragraph should start with something that stimulates interest, that grips a reader. Your introductory paragraph must end with your thesis statement, which is the most important claim you want to argue throughout your essay. The thesis statement must be arguable, not factual. Then, throughout your paper, you provide evidence to argue and "prove" your thesis statement's validity.
A concluding paragraph should have a connection to the introduction. Your paper should start and end with a connection to a single reference or idea. Do not include "In conclusion...". Do broaden away from the specific points you have asserted throughout the body of your essay.
Be sure to include a few of each of the four sentence types. Label them clearly so I can find them quickly. Practice will improve your writing, I assure you.
(These gaming ads always look way more epic and sweet than the actual game, don't they? These ads also include text that basically tells/instructs young people to reject their parents, jobs, homework, and responsibilities to just play the game!)

Have you ever been so into a
video game that you become "brain dead?" You don't hear anything other than the sound effects of the game, time eludes you, and you do nothing but click a mouse or push buttons on a controller. This is exactly what the creators of Forgotten Realm: Demon Stone claim happens when you play their video game. Most people like to play video games simply to escape reality. They want to feel like nothing else matters and they want to have fun while doing it. There is a quote in the ad that does just that: "Logic and reason escape as the flesh shreds and the slicing continues." This ad grips gamers' interests because it proves the game does exactly what they seek when they buy a video game, an alternate reality.
So can this video game really take you to an alternate reality where nothing else matters? The creators of the ad imply that it does with the graphic pictures, demonic-looking font, and gripping quotes. Everything in every ad today is put in the ad for a reason. Everything in every ad today is put in a certain SPOT for a reason. The creators of these ads will spend hours upon hours shifting things around and adding to the advertisment to try and get you to go out and buy that product. This ad has so many symbols that you don't even think about when you look at it, and that is what the creator is trying to do. You will subconsciously realize the message of the ad and the hidden symbolism will aid in deciding whether or not you should go out and buy the game.

Personally i am not as into video games as most kids are. I hate wasting my time away, sitting in front of a tv staring at the screen jaw dropped with drool coming out my mouth. With eyes bloodshot from them being consentrated on the television screen for who knows how long. And you probably would never know how long you have been playing untill you actually stop.
Video games are a drug to alot of people. Thats all they do is play games, and it is getting worse with these new games like Call of Duty. Not only does this game have all the realistic bloody gore that we all love but not you can play with all your friends and many others from around the world from the safety and comfort of your own home.
One fact that is scary is that people have died playing video games. The 28-year-old man collapsed after playing the game Starcraft at an internet cafe in the city of Taegu, according to South Korean authorities.
The man had not slept properly, and had eaten very little during his marathon session, said police.
Multi-player gaming in South Korea is extremely popular thanks to its fast and widespread broadband network. Games are televised and professional players are treated, as well as paid, like sports stars.Professional gamers there attract huge sums in sponsorship and can make more than $100,000 a year.
To me that is just rediculous that someone could die because they couldnt stop playing a video game, because he was so addicted to the game. this is one of the reasons i choose not to get into video games or waste my life playing them. stories like these make it easier for me to not get into video games as well.

Video games...where to begin. Lately I hear more and more about people getting into these video games. Sometimes I think it is a better alternative to the kids being out drinking and doing drugs. Then again they also might be draining the brains of this generation. Video games are a harm and a blessing all in one.

Milk...nutritious, good for you, sexy? That's what I think when look at Heidi Klum's ad for got milk. I instantly stopped at this ad in my People magazine because, well, Heidi Klum is beautiful. Everywhere she goes, everything she does is beautiful. Got Milk probably used her because she has kids and she is a supermodel. Overall, we should all drink milk because it will make us a supermodel?
Heidi is sitting there in a gorgeous, long gown, her “airbrushed” legs longer than the pedestal. The words Model Mom are right next to her, because she is a model and a mom. She has her heels kicked off and a glass of milk next to her, and of course the milk mustache. The ad says, “From the runway to my driveway, there’s one look that is always in style. Milk. It’s nature’s wellness drink – naturally nutrient rich like no other beverage. For me and my family, that’s what I call the perfect fit.”
When supermodels start endorsing milk, or for that matter anything that isn’t sexy, I think we have a problem. I guarantee Heidi Klum won’t sit backstage and drink a glass of milk, a glass of champagne, probably more likely.

BEER!!! Yes beer, that sweet, frothy, yellow beverage that men seem to always associate with hot women, sports, and being a man. well in this Budweiser ad it shows 3 gold medal winning Olympic athletes looking sexy and scrumptious on this glass of their beer. they are craving it like it is a man and they need it, like if you drink their beer this is the result. these women objectify themselves to looking sexy just for a man and his drink, they go for it because it is something that attracts men and they want to do the same. Budweiser does a great job on creating this myth like ad, of course when men drink their beer, they want to be surrounded by hot gold medal winning women, and a big golden glass of Budweiser and have those women desiring them like they are lusting for that glass of beer.

so all in all beer makers try to get their consumers, who are mostly men, to buy their beer with fictional promises of hot women and their desire for them. but obviously this wont happen because you cant just drink a certain beer and be wanted and desired. so this ad is pretty good at suggestive selling.

What does it take to fulfill your fantasy? Does it mean that you become a celebrity like in the ad? Or does it take you getting materialistic things? According to an ad all it takes is you wearing Britney Spear’s Circus Fantasy Perfume. The ad shows Britney spears on one side as a circus ringleader and on the other side as a sexy seductress. But can wearing perfume really help you fulfill your fantasies? Promising empowerment and seductiveness, Fantasy perfume ads harmfully lie/mislead young women into believing the product will grant them all they “need.”
Can a perfume really fulfill your fantasy? This question was posed at the beginning and the answer is no. But by using a well known celebrity to attract young girls; the company thought up the perfect ad. Young girls who want to be rich and famous will buy this product because it has Britney Spears’ name on it and it has always been their dream or as the ad puts it their fantasy to be famous. People will buy into what they see around them no matter how misleading the ad is.

Intro

Due to the false promises of Axe ads, men are trapped in the twisted reality that they are granted the power to enhance everything about themselves, and their surroundings. Women will fonder over you, do anything to have you, and all that is needed for this scrumptious fantasy is a flask of Axe. The productivity of Axe has shot off like a man’s erection from a flawless and seductive female, leaving everyone astounded and flabbergasted. Men are on a quest for the comfort of a woman. Axe has been given the title “The Holy Grail” of such a quest. The Axe Company is slicing reality and fantasy in two, leaving nothing but lies.

Conclusion

Axe has given false realities and granted men the sexual lust to consume it. Axe is on the top of its game, but for how long? As long has men search for the partnership of another, Axe will continue to strive. Axe has great influential power over many men, because without Axe you aren’t a true “MAN”. False promises, fake realities, and powerless consumers are the pride and product of a product itself. Axe has the power. You must have the strength to overcome its engulfing clutches.

Have you drank because the picture in a ad seemed like it would be fun and get you a good looking girl/guy? Well guess what that will not happen, but in the morning you will end up with a splitting headache and asking your self what did I do last night. If you were to believe this Evans Williams ad you would think because you drank this you will get a good looking girl who is going to cater to you whim. The ad has an old looking picture of a girl who is fully clothed in a night dress and on the other side of the ad it has this “sexy” looking girl with no clothes on besides a bra and panties that are basically transparent. Evan Williams whiskey ad campaigns harm society drastically; soon, ever reader of Sports Illustrated will think women are for nothing except consumption servitudes, and mindless obedience.

Will the consumption of Evan Williams whiskey make women phon over you? No, women will not sever you because you are drinking it. They will not sever you to when you are drunk or drinking it they will probably just tell you to get off you butt and do it your self. They will most likely not feel sorry for you either when you wake up with a splitting headache and throwing up everywhere.

(INTRO)You are at a club, you have been dancing all night, and it's time for a break. You make your way through the sweaty, zombie-clubbers on the dance floor and you head to the bathroom, wishing you smelled a little less primitive. And guess what...there's a line! Typical, no? As you are about to turn around and desert your spot in line, you notice a woman dressed in black from head to toe sauntering out of the men's bathroom with a sly and mysterious look on her face. As she breezes past you, you smell a hint of vanilla. Why is the woman so ballsy? Because she is wearing "Twisted Vanilla" deodorant by BAN of course. This ad does a brilliant job of lying effectively about the product and letting women know that they can become "more than what they are not" by dressing like a man and wearing a plain deodorant on steriods.

(CONCLUSION) The ad for BAN deodorant does a good, not great job of making women want to release thier inhibitions and not be so square. But, it does so by making it seem like women have to "wear the pants", be more masculine, and walk out of men's bathrooms to do so. Also, vanilla was not the best scent for BAN to chose for use in this particular ad. The reason being that vanilla is a word that is widely used to decribe something as "dull" or "plain". And when you hear "Twisted Vanilla" it only makes you think of vanilla on steriods which is not much more exciting than plain vanilla. BAN is telling women they have to "banish" who they are just to become more exciting and the lead an exciting lifestyle, which isn't a good message.

(Intro)Are you up for an adventure? The Ford F-150 series promises adventure with there truck. By giving you the sleek look and the shine from the paint glowing from the sunset, giving you the idea you can go anywhere in this truck cause you are on the top of a mountain in the truck making the ford look like one of the toughest truck on the road. These trucks can also make a head turn with all the accesories you can put into them and onto them making you the envy of many woman who like men that drive trucks. When you have a truck you can go anywhere from the grocery store or out into the woods to a mud hole.
(Conclusion)Ford is trying to express to go out and live a little and take an adventure, drive to the top of a mountain and watch the sunset cause this truck can do it all. But the ad doesn't tell you how much is it gunna cost you and with the particular truck it is probably impossible to get up that mountain. This ad shows the quality and how nice it would be to be at the top of a mountain, or if you had this truck at the top of the world.

Intro: Picture yourself at a club just dancing the night away and having a blast, when all of a sudden, you smell a hint of body odor and feel yourself sweating. You immediately think to yourself, is that me? Now you are completely distracted and worried since you think that you smell. Of course, you go to the bathroom to make sure it is not you. Just as you are checking, your best friend walks in. She comes over to you and says, “Is everything alright?” You then tell her your problem about not being able to find an antiperspirant that works for you. She suggests “Secret Clinical Strength” because when things get hot, it keeps you cool. Secret Clinical Strength helps you get prescription strength wetness protection without a prescription. This ad is trying to tell you that “because you are hot” you shouldn’t be bothered by your antiperspirant not working. Who wouldn’t want to try this if you could be burning hot and not have sweaty armpits, right?

Conclusion: This ad does a good job of making you want to try their product. They have you convinced that you can party all night and be completely unbothered by your sweating. The bad thing is, since everyone sweats no matter what, this ad is lying. We sweat for a reason, to cool us down. If we didn’t sweat at all, we would become overheated and dehydrated; therefore you shouldn’t believe everything that an ad is telling you.

Simple: You then tell her your problem about not being able to find an antiperspirant that works for you.
Compound: This ad is trying to tell you that “because you are hot” you shouldn’t be bothered by your antiperspirant not working.
Complex: Now you are completely distracted and worried since you think that you smell.
Compound-Complex: If we didn’t sweat at all, we would become overheated and dehydrated; therefore you shouldn’t believe everything that an ad is telling you.

(Intro)
What is beauty? Is it flawless tan skin, perfectly trimmed eyebrows and white teeth? A slender figure with curves in the right places? This is what Maybelline beauty products try to make you believe. They want you to buy their products so that you can be more beautiful and desirable. Maybelline ads create an egotism/narcissism (of self-love) that has so corrupted young people in American that the evidence is clear: 8 billion dollars on beauty products a year and a greater sense of selfishness.
(Conclusion)
Advertisements like this one persuade young women that they need their products to be desirable. Over the years, girls have started to wear makeup younger and younger. What happened to true beauty without one stitch of makeup? Sadly, the American image has been become more and more superficial each year. This is a great thing for the business of Maybelline. People spend more on their products, so they spend more on advertising; which increases their sales even more.

(Intro) Imagine yourself in a big city looking for that perfect man that will taste delicious. You could be the envy of all the women no matter what time of day. This fragrance DKNY makes some women live on the dangerous side in capturing that special smoking hot someone. As she passes by each and every male she tries to grab their attention by using her finger and her serious look, that means romance. The way her eyes look deep into the males eyes takes each others breath away. This ad does a brilliant job with myth-making in its ads; no wonder American women continue to fantasize about romantic; splendid “happy ever after” nights with men.

(Conclusion) This ad does a somewhat of a decent job to make women buy this fragrance. They have tried to pull you in by using her eyes to make you feel like you will attract a guy if you wear it. Also it will make you feel sexy like the way the woman that’s in the ad. The downfall of this is that some woman might not feel attractive if they if they smell fruity. Some religious people might not want to wear it being that it could bring out the devil in you and not the good. Take a bite out of life, take a chance in life.

(Intro) Imagine having a robot that will obey any order you give it, follow instructions to precision, and satisfy your needs to the fullest(CD). The twist to this elaborate invention is that this is a female robot. Svedka vodka has made this imagination into reality in their ad(S). Will this ad be effective towards the company’s success? Anyone who would believe that this could really become an actuality would be lured into thinking that by drinking Svedka Vodka, women, not robots, will obey commands and do as the master pleases(CD-CX). This ad objectifies women by making them look like they do not have independence, intellect, or self-control. The quote on the ad says, “the vodka of champions”. Svedka vodka claims to be the “vodka of champions”, when they are only the champions of disgusting men who hope to own, train, and program their women.

(Conclusion) Whose to say what type of success makes one a champion? According to this ad, drinking Svedka then dominating female robots is the key to success. Once that mountain has been climbed, then you are the champion(CX). This ad promotes taking advantage of women when they are under the influence, especially off of Svedka vodka. The sexual innuendo involved helps the product sell. Without it, Svedka vodka would just be another vodka company. This ad stands out to the competition and raises the bar for creativity. This ad objectifies women in negative and offensive ways, but it sells for men because of the alcohol and lust equation implied. For the ladies, the next time you are at a party, will you be the next female robot taken advantage of? Or will you be independent and have a say in your actions. And for the men, good luck, “play responsibly”, and let the games begin.

INTRO

It's around seven in the morning. The ground is covered in snow, speckled with dirt and tire tracks. As you roll out of bed, you think to yourself, "another day of reality." Yes, another day of school or work, and the same old thing. But what if you can get away from all this? Imagine a tropical beach, moist and green. Sexy men come and caress your soft, wet, smooth skin. With Nivea A Touch of Happiness Body Wash, you can get just this in your shower every morning. Beautiful moments are born in the shower. But how long do these fantasies last? All day? Or just for that 15 minutes in your shower? This ad effectively convinces you that with Nivea's Touch of Happiness Body Wash, you will "touch and be touched." You will have the sexiest skin and the sexiest men in your shower, and every shower is beautiful and erotic. All your happiness can fit into a plastic bottle, right?

CONCLUSION

Nivea portrays a beautiful scene to go along with the slogan This ad does well to attract women because of course, everyone wants soft, beautiful skin. And the beach is always a desirable place, and women want to be desired by the opposite sex. "Beautiful moments are born in the shower." But is this true? Not all women have a sexy man or partner to shower with every morning. Why does a daily task to keep up our hygiene have to turn into a sexy fantasy? Nivea Touch of Happiness Body Wash will not solve all of your problems and make you happy. The Touch of Happiness idea of this body wash is a poor choice, and the scene of the advertisement also seems ridiculous. Our problems will not disappear down the drain along with the residue of this body wash, and our morning shower will not be in a beautiful jungle. Then again, you could be the judge of this sensational body wash yourself. Touch and be touched ladies.

Everyone needs a hero, right? From a young age children go forth in their lives, looking up and idealizing great Athletes.(S) For every athlete that signs a multimillion dollar deal, there is a little kid with their poster on his wall, their jersey on his back, and their shoes on his feet; at the height of Micheal Jordan’s career, everyone wanted to “Be Like Mike”.(CD) People bought the drinks he ordered or the cloths he wore just for the hope of being modish. Because of this, athletes are commonly used in advertisements.(CX) Gatorade has a catalog full of phenomenal superstars to help them sell their product. In this advertisement, there is enough athletes that any young kid could possible desire. By selling – confidence, performance, and image- in a bottle, Gatorade convinces consumers to believe and bolt down their extreme goodness and make you wish you were a megastar idol.(CD-CX)
Who is your hero? In our culture, we grow up in awe of so many athletes that we do not think of what a true hero is. Everyday policeman, teachers, and troops are who we should be saying “I want to be just like you”. Advertisements have created such an empire of greatness for athletes. Today companies know that superstar athletes sell. Gatorade had meticulously chosen several amazing athletes to sponsor their drink knowing millions will buy into the belief of what athletes symbolize.

Have you ever wondered about why “Professional Wrestling” is so popular? Could it be that it functions for men the same way that soap operas function for women? There is one person who is so good at the acting that he makes you want to come back every week just to see what he is going to do next. He makes the show believable because he has everything most guys wish that they had. But why does it just make us feel that way, lets take a look back at his career and find out.

Strong, smart, athletic, charismatic, John Cena is an example for all guys. If more people were like him we would most likely live in a better world. Society would be more productive and it would eliminate laziness. He is the perfect inspiration for children because if they want to be just like him they will work harder, be more athletic and push themselves to all around be great. The world would be a bunch of John Cena like guys.

(Intro) Levi's, the pants to wear if you are going to be "sexy" and "American"; if not you are a Terrorist and you are ugly. A shirt-less man running into water; what does this have anything to do with pants? Sexual innuendos, like the fact that on one page there is a pair of Levi jeans that is nicely folded, then the next page they are unfolded and wrinkled. The colors red, white, and black make an attempt to catch the eyes of the consumer. Red, standing for passion allows the consumer to believe that Levi’s will help them sexually. Apparently, if you don't wear Levi's that makes you un-American; a U.S. flag waved behind the Levi's stamp clearly states.

(Outro) Pants just may take over the world and make us “sexier” and more “American”. Being “sexy” and more “American” has nothing to do with wearing a pair of jeans. When you wear jeans they do not make you any different than anyone else; you won’t receive any special treatment from anyone. They don’t make you official or make you valued anymore than you already are. This particular ad tells you to “Go Forth”, but it doesn’t say where to go… Does it mean to run into the ocean? Find out for yourself and “Go Forth.”

Attention Ladies! Wouldnt you like too fit into your old pair of jeans and still get your mans attention? Of course you would! Now all you need to do is buy this Nivea My Silouette Gel Cream and all your disiers will be met!!. Ok really, does the media expect us to believe this, the answer is yes. Ads such as this Nivea one hits the major spots in society that are going most attract the potential buyer mainly being women with body issues. The ad looks like if you use this cream you will fit into a pair of jeans that were before to small and you will look hot.The problem is once so many people buy this ad and not get the results they hoped for they will develop even worse self esteem.We need to think logically before we "buy" into advertisments.


Conclusion:

Nivea does a great job at attracting women to there products because who doesnt want to be admired by men and always looking fine in there favorite pair of jeans? No body! I think that women will eventually learn its not logical to expect to fit into jeans that are two small if you just use gel. The Gel may firm up the outer layer of your skin but that will last a minimul of a few hours and the results will be hardly noticable.Niveas logo is Touch and be Touched, so maybe if a women uses this product they will feel more confident even know it really makes no ovious difference.

Introduction

Sex. A three-letter word with so much power. But how much power does it really have? It has the power to make women starve themselves to feel beautiful and men to workout constantly just to have a better ego. In today’s world people are being manipulated by ads to look better just so they can be desired.(complex) The power of love was supposed to be the strongest of all, but really the power of sex has taken over.(compound) Because advertisers use this uncanny power to sell, what once was forbidden and so called “behind closed doors,” is now the main focus in everything and located everywhere.(compound complex) We are being fooled by allowing Kate Moss to use her body and sex appeal to seduce us into thinking this perfume, Parisienne, will make us skinnier, prettier, richer, and better all together, because who doesn’t want to be these things, who doesn’t desire to be desired?(compound complex)

Conclusion

So, here is my last question, does the power of sex control you? Subconsciously all ads manipulate everyone by making them desire to be something that is unreachable.(simple) In reality it’s like a drug, you become addicted to wanting desire.(compound) Therefore, you go to extreme measures to feel better about yourself and fantasize about your so-called reality. Everyone is entitled to his or her own opinion, however; sex will always be in the back of your mind controlling your decisions.(complex) That is why this three-letter word is so powerful.

Think about you dream vacation, does it consist of the ocean with soft, sandy beaches, clear blue skies, and crystal clear water? Or would you want to have perfect, clear skin, gorgeous brown eyes, and rich dark hair? According to Halle Berry's Halle perfume ad you recieve both the dream vacation and the perfect look. On one side the ad shows Halle Berry looking over her shoulder, wearing nothing but gold bracelets, with a "you want this" look presented on her face. On the flip side it shows the beach, looking peaceful, like an island vacation.(S) Promising a luxurious vacation and flawless body, leads many women into buying Halle so they can "discover the first fragrance".
Aquiring your dream vacation is going to cost way more than buying the Halle perfume. Most woman get mislead by all different types of ads.(S) Companies however, are very smart in using beautiful celebs like Halle Berry.(CD) Many girls and women want to do everything they can to be rich and famous like the celeb in the ad. Of course, women will gladly buy this ad to "reveal the woman within".

Ilove video games sometimes. I play Resident Evil 4 only because I need to rescue Ashley, honestly I don't like games like that but for some reason I like to play that one. I can't seem to get anywhere in professional mode though, not enough ammo or life.It's amazing how simple life could be if all you had to do was play video games we'd all be couch patatoes. Video games can also be stress reliving and very fun if that is the intent.I don't reject my parents even if they reject me sometimes I just want them to let me go I am growing up. My job and education are my responsibility so I try to do what I can to keep it that way. I seldom play video games only if I'n not stuck on them it helps me sometimes to just get away. I think many gaming ads help you to want to play the game, but they can tend to leav things out that may be important for your use.

I dont want to believe that sex creeps into my mind from almost everything that is see, or hear, or experience...but i know in a way its true. ive noticed that since i entered high school i replay what im about to say in my head in an attempt to see if there is anyway that it could be taken sexually. my friends and i use the phrase that we "have our heads in the gutter" when we take a simple phase or action and turn it into something that is sex related. while im not sucked into buying what the ads are advertising i admit that in my subconciousness my mind turns to the dirty, desireable side that i try and keep under control. also you may have noticed that the ads arent selling the product theyre selling SEX! consumers will look at the page and think, "oh if i wear those jeans/buy that perfume or colonge/whatever then ill get laid for sure!" the consumers have no real interest in buy the product but the hope of buying that irresistable man or that sex hungry woman. sex has become a craving; its not needed but its become more and more wanted over time. the craving for strong, hot, and untamed sex is becoming unstoppable!

Revlon. What do you think when you hear Revlon; makeup, hair dye, nail polish? What about lipstick. As you can see in this ad Revlon does a fantastic job of appealing not only to the average man and woman but also to the superficial plastic people of our society. This ad has many encrypted messages and meanings hidden within it throughout this paper I will do my best to decrypt the subliminal signals being sent out to everyone who is intrigued by the ad. Hopefully this will inspire not only women but men also, not to be sop superficial and naive to the meanings and pictures in ads.

I hope that after reading this analysis yourself as long as analyzing the ad you can also uncover what companies and products are really trying to sell you. If you just scan through an ad and not think much of it subconsciously you could be feeding superficial messages to yourself triggering shopping impulses or giving you the sense of need for an object when really it is only a want. We as a society put too much trust into the media and people around us when we should be listening to ourselves.

what makes Budweiser on of the most popular beer in the market? advertising!! Budweiser invest so much money in advertising.They put sexy moldels in hot red bikinis that makes make water. Also they do the funniest videos ever, withch put things in the video that are common things people do, for example they put a man with Budweiser bottle watching a game. What does this mean?. It means that if your what to be cool and be a man you have to be drinking Budweiser when you are watching a game. Anathor example they put its people having fun and man with beautiful woman. This is indicating that if you drink Budweiser everything is gona be fun and your gona get beutiful woman, But the truth is that you gona waist your night and day look mess up and have a sh*ty day, and defently not get any girls.....

Budweiser is also knowen for its taste and plausure. People have said that it kind of taste like apple juice, but iam guessing everyone has diffrent taste buds. I think that you just have to go by what people say in the taste of budweiser, like in the beginig of man kind. humans choose what was good to eat by whatching animals eat the plants and fruits. I guessing the same you do with beers. Beers are one of does things thats doesnt taste good, but does. Is kind of like coffee. You have to get used of it. Research say that their is alot of fat in beer!!! So that what is bad for your health, and in the cormecials of Budweiser they put beautiful woman with hard core abs. Thats my reasons why Budweiser is one of the tops beer in the market

"Vanilla girls do what theyre told. Twisted Vanilla girls do whatever they want!" These girls want to break away from the crowd, challenge the system, and be different. The catch is, however, that many women tend to get "different" confused with "outrageous" and "stupid". We seem to think that every kind of attention is good attention when in reality other people may be eyeing us with looks of discust, appall, and confusion. at times it appears that women will do anything to get noticed; whether they are trying to get men to want them, or get women to want to be them. But sometimes we take this attempt a bit too far. using the men's bathroom instead of waiting in line for the women's? is negative attention really better than no attention at all?

Conclusion:
"Vanilla girls do what theyre told. Twisted Vanilla girls do whatever they want!" its true that no woman wants to blend into the wall, we all want to stand out somehow, but we dont need to use the men's restroom in order to make our point. there are other and better way for us to stand out from the crowd that do not involve making ourselve looking stupid, snotty or stuck up. we need to learn that there are time to blend in and times to stand out. the trick is knowing how to identify the right times to use them.

Got milk? Miley Cyrus sure does. She has that and everything else young women wish they had and what young men want to have. Miley Cyrus is a singer, song writer, and actress and has a franchise worth billions of dollars. She has it all. She has been on countless magazine covers like Elle, People, Seventeen, Teen Vogue, Glamour, Vanity Fair and Cosmo, just to name a few. She is a huge idol to many young woman all around the U.S. But is she really what we want our young generation to be looking up to? Is Miley Cyrus growing up a little too fast?



Best of both worlds? Get real. Like in her TV show Hannah Montanna her life is a roller coster ride. Although I have nothing against her and I think she an amazing and very successful young woman; being a celebrity made her grow up faster than she desired. She made a couple of bad decisions but like she says in her song "nobody's perfect", and "everybody makes mistakes" some just more serious, life changing, and have a bigger impact on the people who look up to you.

Alcohol. America's choice in beverage. More like America's number one beverage in sales! We love alcohol in this country, so why not start everyone young? If I was the sales representative for Miller Lite, I would be so happy that I'm making so much money off of underage consumption. But I'm not a sales rep and I think that what beer companies are doing is ridiculous! I found this ad in a Sports Illustrated magazine, which, is read by many teens throughout America. The ad makers ALWAYS use "babes" to lure in the boys. And majority of the time, it works.

In conclusion, America is to blame for all underage alcohol related problems, and most of the "of age" problems too. Chances are, that a person dependent on alcohol started drinking as a teenager. Putting Alcohol advertisements in magazines that a teen has access to is a very bad idea. If the government sets a age limit on consumption, they should also put a healthy limit on the advertising. Most of the ads also show hot babes, giving women a picture of being "whore-ish". Note to America's advertising agency: Grow up. Don't advertise to minors, it's illegal for them to consume anyway. And a personal thank you from the lives you have already ruined.

You feel the icy tips of his fingers on your arms. His marble lips caress your warm flesh as he takes in your aroma. You have fallen into a forbidden love, like a lion and a lamb. Sound familiar? Even though there is no specific theme of this perfume advertisement by Vera Wang your imagination may take you towards vampires. Many advertisements use endorsers to get people to notice their ads. Instead of using just one person Vera has used Twilight. A fiction book that has seized the attention of most of the world.

Conclusion

Is it a coincidence or not that underneath this advertisement there is a passionate love story? One so great that you read it late into a full moon night. Believe it, because those clever advertisers know what they are doing. Nothing we read or see is coincidence; take the time to appreciate the undercover meaning of the next perfume advertisement. You may be surprised where your imagination will take you.

"True Religion;" what does this perfume name imply? That not all other religions are addiquate enough for a person if one is to wear this fragrance? That by cramming elaborate words into two sentences, one is to feel the scent sophisticated luxurious? That if you wear it you will become the hippy love child that lives the care-free lifestyle we all crave? I feel that it is supposed to entice the consumer into buying the product. Being care-free is one of the biggest desires in today's crazy world; wear True Religion and the fantasy becomes a reality.

After one gets past the fact that the lifestyle of living in an abandoned love shack is unatainalbe, the true (religion) messages of the ad become apparent. Wearing this fragrance will not transform a person into a Calamity Jane figure, nor the hippy flower child. True Religion does not ring true at all. Worship thyself and forget the values learned while trying to achieve these ludacris statuses? Although we may seek to become these characters in life, the reality is...it's all a fantasy.

Intro
In the early years competition for a job or anything was between men. Women gained their rights over time. I picked this ad because its not a competition between men, but a competition between a man and a women. People today still would prefer a man, unless the women are sexy, or extremely attractive to the employers or managers of the business. In a Feminism view it’s to prove society that women can compete with that as well, but also are we proving that women have to dress to impress? Women feel that they have to dress sexy or they have to be attractive, and wear certain clothing. This ad is fashion in a story; to get a job you have to wear this type of clothing. Men just choose to wear suits; women have to be flashy according to society. Why should women have to dress up every day to get treated the same as men. Men under estimate women and tell their self they have nothing to worry about, there is not a competition between us. But their “confidence” will slowly fall when women become more successful than them. Is the competition between man and women for the job, or the looks? On the news, they hire beautiful women that might be an incentive for the public to watch. Society set standards and most people do not fit under their category. Competition? What is the real competition? Men always assume that they have the job right away. Is the competition between men and women, or between people and society?
Conclusion
The question still stands, do women have to dress to impress. Subconsciously, I believe that women dress in the morning of how they feel. If the women are feeling confident they will wear bright colors, tight fitting, more revealing. They would also wear maybe some animal print. Dark, tan, blacks is a sign of no feeling very confident or just want to blend in. it is a possibility that you aren’t feeling very good, and you don’t want to bring attention to yourself. Although, colors and patterns matter, accessories have a huge input as well. They bring attention, and add spice to our outfit, also implying confidence. Shoes tell a lot, they tell a story, flat shoes shows that you just want to be relaxed and easier to walk. High heels show a sexuality side of a person. Models wear high heels because it is a man’s fantasy of women to dress sexy and high heels. Confidence shoes through high heels as well. Fancy shoes you have style and like to show it off, you like to put together outfits and ways to present yourself. Women subconsciously dress to impress, and dress on how they feel. Consciously women know that how you look presents themselves, and they want to come across to people that they take care of themselves and is proud to be who they are, and what they do. Businesses look for that in a person.

Who is the first person taht comes to mind when thinking of the movie "dukes of Hazzard"? Most people would say Jessica Simpson. She is ditzy, and blond. Toth girls are obsesised with looks, money, and temptation. Siren is paris Hiltons perfume, dealing with men falling to her every need. Jessica Simpson can also be seductive and sinful as Paris Hilton, but she wants to appeal for all ages. Not only does she show you that you can change your heair she also shoes taht one of her styles can fit you.

The desire for sex is always on our minds. These ads both show us subconciously and consiously that temptaion for sex or getting guys is always on our minds. The roles these girls play are suppose to be "innocent" and "ditzy" when in reality its more sinful and suductinve. They both have wath and fame but they still desire more.

(Intro)
Why does a sexy, six-packed male have to be used to sell a product? Why do so many advertisers believe it’s necessary? Is it to capture the attention of their consumers? Is our society only concerned with ads that contain sexual exploitations? It seems in today’s world, so many products are marketed around a sexual theme. (CD) In this Curve advertisement, not only are they using a sexy male, posing in the ad, but the word “sex” is used throughout this entire fragrance ad. The advertisement tries to give the illusion that if you buy this product you will attract a sexy man. (CD-CX) So do advertisements really need that many sexual references to sell a product? Throughout this paper, I will discuss: why the word sex is written all over the ad, why there is a sexy guy used to sell the product, where you can buy this perfume, and what magazines portray this image. Curve ads, sultry and detrimental, will slowly lead to society’s complete moral collapse; these ads blatantly mock our collective intelligence.

(Conclusion)
Is a half naked man necessary to sell a product? No there are more tasteful ways to market to consumers. One strategy might be to try to describe the fragrance through a more descriptive detail and appropriate images. (S) The advertisers try hard to get a message across through sexual exploitations, when in reality most people will base their decision to purchase perfume or cologne on whether they like the smell of the fragrance or not. (CD-CX) Advertisers don’t have to mock our intelligence by putting the word “sex” all over an ad, to get our attention.

Intro- Think back to the era in which our grandparents lived(S). Times were full of innocence, virtue, and a bit of naivety. Having well-built morals wasn’t a choice but simply an implied value for most Americans back then. Now, fast forward to today’s world. Where have America’s morals gone? Corruption fills the air everywhere we turn(S). Alcohol, drugs, and sex are chief reasons why sweet Little America was altered into what she is today- a bottomless pit of sleaze. A pit so deep that she can’t possibly find a way to rise out of all the depravity or escape from all the immoralities that distorted her in the first place(CD). Because America accepts all these corrupt concepts, marketing specifically designs their ads around them(CX). In this Secret deodorant ad there is a young blonde bombshell in an eye popping red revealing dress. Two large cherry blossom trees are framing her, making her the center of attention(CX). The roots and branches of the trees are wrapped around the woman’s lower section, as if she is part of the tree(CX). She has a wayward smirk on her face and she is holding a pink sparkling ball(CD). Directly above her are a full moon and a pink ribbon that says “Cherry Mischief”, which is the name of the scent of deodorant being advertised. All kinds of feminine objects are floating around her including: cherries, yellow glowing butterflies, fairies, large pink flowers, and pink crystals. There are many lustful subliminal messages in the ad that are targeted at teenage girls. Secret deodorant ads transform young women’s ideas of wholesome morals into promiscuous fantasies of mischievous sex acts(S).

Conclusion- What is considered socially acceptable changes all the time as the centuries pass(S). It is becoming more and more difficult as the years go by to maintain solid morals(CX). Secret deodorant is pressuring young women to think that sex before marriage is a popular phenomenon that everyone should try. But we Americans, especially young women, need to stop and think about where out priorities lie. What is sex truly going to do for a young woman’s life? Nothing, but possibly give her a disease or get her knocked up(CD). Although it may seem tempting at times, sex is ultimately the wrong path to venture down and will not help teenage girls achieve much of anything(CD-CX).

Under Armour's false image of male dominance has corrupted the youth of the nation. By promising young americans that they can be godly beings Under Armour has taken our eyes and set them on their product aka "the prize". With the false hope of being more than average we can do whatever we want by buying Under Armour. Our pockets have been emptied but at least we have the sense of greatness in us. By selling a harmful masculinity myth, Under Armour convinces young men to believe they can be brutish by buying and donning the gear or "Armour".

Wearing Under Armour does not make us more of a man. It provides false hope and instant gratification that will soon fade and turn into a hole of depression needing to be filled with more product. It is harmful to the youth. Under Armour is just an item and should be viewed that way. With that we can learn to see past advertisers lie and see things as we see fit.

What is it with people and babies? Why are people so drawn to babies? They get all goo-goo over them and they talk in this funny high voice to them too. Their entire attention seems to be focused on them whenever they are around. People in the advertising business have definitely noticed this. They use babies in their advertisements to draw the attention of those people out there who adore babies, as a person would put cheese on a trap and draw the attention of a mouse in order to catch it. Like a Lever 2000 soap bar ad has a baby in it just for the reason of drawing peoples' attention. Sure, it's just the baby's cute little feet, but hey, they are cute and little right? Exactly; and that's why they draw peoples attention. But again, what really is it with people and babies?

(conclusion)
Babies are cute. Babies are adorable. Babies make people smile. Babies are soft. Babies are lovable. Therefore, why wouldn't you love Lever 2000 soap? It helps you or a baby become cute, adorable, and soft too, right? And if you smell good, you are more likely to make someone smile, right? Because really, who would smile at a smelly person? Is this the message that this ad could be giving? Maybe. Advertisements, like this Lever 2000 soap bar advertisement, use babies to gather the people of the world's attention. Babies are excellent attention grabbers, because they are cute and so on, but also because they depend on the older people of the world with money. Babies need us older people with money to survive. Just like Lever 2000 needs us. They need our business to survive in the world of commerce.

And if you smell good, you are more likely to make someone smile, right? - CX

What’s the first thing you think of when you hear Victoria’s Secret? Is it bras and underwear? Probably not. Most people think of sex, lingerie, hot models, and perfection. This is exactly what VS wants you to think about. Alessandra Ambrosio personifies every aspect of VS in this ad. The way she looks at you in the ad, the lingerie she is barely wearing and her perfect body screams Victoria’s Secret. Anybody looking at this ad would instantly be able to identify this as a VS ad. Because of ads like this, degrading women and dumbing them down, average women feel inferior to these models and feel the need to have to look just like them.

I believe that there are many ways that VS tries to suck women in and make them feel inferior. A women with the body of a super model is so rare, yet men all around the world are searching for their hot model girlfriend or wife. Women see the men’s eyes linger on the posters of beautiful models in the store windows, and so they begin to feel like they have to look the same way to really get a guy to fall for them. Through catalog ads, commercials, and the annual televised fashion show, women’s self esteem is being crushed by the VS models. I believe that the only way to fix this problem is to have enough self esteem and confidence in yourself to know that you are good enough and don’t need to look perfect and sexy all the time. And also, women need to know that these models are not real, there are many stylists, trainers, and surgeons making them perfect.

(intro) If you were given the choice, would you choose a vampire, werewolf, or a human? Girls today would most likely choose either a vampire or werewolf because of the Twilight Saga. Teenage girls notice guys all around them and realize how they act. After the read Twilight, they are in this fantasy world, debating on the toughest question you could ask a girl: vampire or werewolf? Because of the Twilight Saga, girls are fangs over farts crazy about these supernatural creatures. Girls love the fact that vampires promise them immortality, adventure, and ongoing desire and werewolves promise them constant compassion, loyalty, and protection. Is it not sinful to believe that this is what is on the teenage girl mind these days.

(conclusion) Every girl has a fantasy of the "perfect" person whether it be a supernatural creature or a human. Girls want and love the compassion, protection, and adventure no matter where it comes from. The fact of the matter is that men are in the flesh but vampires and werewolves are simply just a figment of the imagination. So is it truely a sin? No. And most girls would give that exact same answer. They know how to tell the difference between reality and fantasy. So just let the girls dream!

Intro: What do guys really think when they see a “natural” woman- beauty and confidence or someone who needs to go back home and hide their flaws with make-up. This husband is searching for the best product to camouflage all of his wife’s flaws. Many girls everyday lie to themselves when they put on make-up.(CX) They are not true to themselves.(S) Every girl wishes they could have the perfect skin but when they don’t have the perfect face they hide their natural beauty with make-up.(CDCX) What is so wrong with not wearing make-up and being the “real” you.

Conclusion: Make-up makes women think they have to lie to themselves and wear make-up 24/7. Shouldn’t guy want woman who is okay with being who they really are and not have to hide behind all that make-up.(CD) Why hide yourself and be someone your not? Just be natural and not look like a clown. Because the real question is, what is so wrong with not wearing make-up and being the “real” you. NOTHING!

Nothing could tear this couple’s long, lustful love for each other apart accept sadly as we know death. These storybook romances filled with teary endings of being so in love you truly inseparable with another human being is what match.com portrays in its ads in magazines and commercials on TV.

All together Match.com tells the singles around the world without their help your life maybe loveless. Today there are many things men and women have to live up to mostly their outer view and beauty rather than their inner. Match.com is set up so you can browse people based on pictures, an outer view. So, what are we teaching the youth the future of our countries? That it is ok not to put forth effort and just pay to have things done for us? No, our youth is all ready beginning to get lazy with all the new technology around. Yes Match.com says “it’s ok to look”, but in reality just looking without not acting get us no further down the road in life than where we stand now.

Hello bombshell or hello anorexia. Victoria's Secret catch phrase "hello bombshell" is used to introduce the all new Miraculous push up bra which claims to add up to two full cup sizes. Many women look at VS Angel model Marissa Miller and desire her perfect body and bust. Women feel the pressure to weigh 110 lbs. and have DDs because men think that VS models are desirable. Therefore many girls turn to eating disorders and plastic surgery to try to meet these unreal standards. They think that if they look like an angel that they will be able to attract any man they desire. Victoria's Secret sells more than just lingerie. They try to sell the image of a real-life sexy Barbie doll.

Is pushing girls into anorexia or plastic surgery necessary to sell bras? According to VS's high expectations of their models they think it is. Their ads show promiscous angels that weigh 110 lbs modeling lingerie. Pictures of these models are plastered all over VS stores in malls. Many young girls walk through the mall and see these pictures of unobtainable looks, and hello anorexia.

Intro:
Im sure all of us, or at least thought, at some point, that you have to buy a product just biased on an advertisement? Like all beer ads for example? The beer ads portray that drinking beer makes you cooler, better looking, happier, wiser, and that you are a lot more fun. The particular ad that I focus on in this is a Coors Light ad. The Coors Light refreshing train, in most of the Coors Light ads, promotes passion, energy, contentment, and delight, while its real function is to ease the stress of an overworked, underpaid, and mentally undernourished society.

Conclusion:
Will drinking beer really make you awesome? Well the answer is NO! Although beer ads seem to promise that drinking beer makes you cooler, better looking, happier, wiser, and a lot more fun, however, beer ads don’t tell you that you will regret every beer that you had that night, the next morning. All ads use these techniques to get u hooked, and but their products. And yet you don’t feel happy like the ad promised, so you are forced to go and buy more to make that feeling come true.

Simple: Austin and I played football every afternoon.
Simple: I like to play sports in general.
Simple: Ads can be real harmful to the youth.

Compound: I had to play football, so my mom went shopping.
Compound: I waited for the bus, but the bus was running late. Compound: I maintained that the Building needed restructuring, but Sam disagreed.

Complex: The pirate captain lost his treasure map, but he still found the
Buried treasure.
Complex: Because the soup was too cold, I warmed it in the microwave.

Compound/Complex: Though I prefer watching sport films, I rented the latest action thriller, and I really enjoyed it.
Compound/Complex: The teacher lectured for over an hour, and his students slept.

What if I told you that just by using one simple product you would have to be beating the ladies off with a stick? There would be no rest for you because all the women in the world would find you irresistible. Does that sound like the life you want? Well if it does then have I got a product for you. At least that’s what Axe and their detailer shower tool want you to believe. And so do many other products and ad agencies that hope to make you believe that by using a simple product you can become better or a more attractive person. So you have to ask yourself are you just going to be another statistic to them.

So to sum it all up axe can make you a more attractive person by using their shower tool right? No it can just perform a basic job that can help make you slightly cleaner. Now I’m not saying that all products and marketing agencies are evil just next time you buy something think about how the product itself can help you not how it by some magic power cam make you better and more accepted in society.

[simple] Mom is cooking up a feast, dad is putting the star on the tree, the little boy is peeking at his presents, grandma has just arrived, and the daughter is straddling her boyfriend on the couch, trying to pull his shirt off. [compound] Wait, what? No holiday consists sex on the couch in front of the family, most holidays are peaceful and calm. But the daughter is consumed by the alluring scent of her boyfriend. She lunges at him. [simple] Everyone is shocked; mom drops the cookies, dad tips over the tree, and poor grandma looks like she’s about to faint. Why is she acting so animalistic? It’s the scent of Tag Body Spray. So will men be attacked by women if they use Tag, and cause total chaos? No. The line in the middle of the ad states, “WARNING: the makers of TAG body spray will not be held liable should your attraction to your TAG-wearing boyfriend cause you to engage in behavior that grandma may consider ‘unladylike.’” Women are supposedly ‘unladylike’ when it comes to the scent of Tag, but what really happens? If men believe Tag Body Spray’s messages, they will be sadly disappointed when they realize twenty-first century women are more clever, capable, controlled and keen to the tactics of “players”.


Conclusion:
Will Tag really give men their fantasy of women attacking them? The ad tells us that it’ll happen. But Tag will not give men the glory of women attacking them. Or maybe men just hope to stir up the holidays with the captivating scent. You’ll never know unless you buy Tag, right? We all know that scent doesn’t make us desirable, but with the flawless advertising, anything can make us desirable. [compound]

(Intro)
Caress lotion, you wouldnt think it would be in a sexy background or even with sexy things considering its just something for dry skin right? There not just advertising the product there is way more that there saying. I have to admit that I have walked down the isles at walmart and have bought something because of the look of the bottle, or how creative the name was. Advertising has alot to do with selling a product which isnt always the best way, but it works.


(conclustion)
They always have woman in these ads,which is smart because there trying to get the male population to buy this lotion, saying its not just for woman. In 3/4 the ads there are woman, either wearing bearly any clothes or none at all, which of course is a seller right there to alot of people.

Introduction:
Is it necessary to use promiscuity to sell products such as body wash? Most advertisements have some type of sexual reference in them.(S) Advertisers are desperate for our attention, and they get it because we are drawn to images with good-looking men and women.(CD-CX) In this Nivea body wash advertisement, a sexy woman and hot guy are in each other's arms. Nivea body wash does a brilliant job with myth-making in its ads; no wonder young American women continue to fantisize about romantic, splendid "happily ever afters".

Conclusion:
So, is promiscuity really necessary to sell products? In Amreica today, sexy advertisements catch reader's eyes, so that is what advertisers use.(CD) And if advertisements are not straight-forward sexy, then they have some type of hidden reference to sex. Buying Nivea body wash will not make you happy, but instead make you feel worse about yourself because you are not living up to the lies and exaggerations of the product.(CX) Customers need to see through these outrageous products, like Nivea body wash, and find their own "happily ever afters".

A scruffy, unsuccessful, poor, slightly older, and unatractive man stares at himself in the mirror. Then with the stroke of a flawless blade across his rough, rebelious cheeks, a young, rich man appears. Indeed this young man is everything males want to be, attractive, young, fit, wealthy, and popular. Don't believe it? Why not? Shcick Quatro garuntees with one stroke of their quadrouple shaving blade, you will become all that is man. And your name will be spelled A-W-S-O-M-E. Still can't believe me? Just look at any Schick Quatro Titanium ad and see what your manliness lacks.

(Conclusion)

So now that you have read the evidence of the poison shaving is injecting into the youth of men, what will you do? Will you say, "yeah I look good with a little bit of fuzz on my mandible"...or will you fall in line with society and lose your individualism with a clean shaven face and in doing so, believe that with a clean face, you also have a clean conscience, heart, good look, and wealth beyond imaginable belief with tons of women?

Intro:
Exactly how powerful are celebrities in advertising? It seems in every ad or TV commercial we are drawn to the celebrities rather than the average Joe. Is it our desire to be rich and powerful? Is it our escape to fantasy land? Advertisers have been using celebs in promotions and commercials simply because it works. Celebrities get our attention, and then we buy the product. Celebrities have an enormous effect on the consumers that will ultimately lead to higher sells. It is indicated that celebrities, like Paris Hilton and her Siren advertisement, can change the world. Do we actually believe that?

Con:
The use of celebrities in advisements has become extremely popular in recent years. Celebrities in advertising are a marketing strategy that will continue for a long time. We will never “run out” of celebrities, there are new one everyday. Can celebrities change the world? It appears so in the world of advertisements.

(Intro) As you flip through the pages of your magazines, what advertisements stick out and grab your attention? Do you catch yourself turning back a page after you’ve caught a glimpse of a good-looking man or woman on the previous page? Advertisers do this on purpose! Although the ad may be for perfume, jeans or even food, sex is everywhere! When scanning an advertisement, most people look past the details in the ad and look at what is being sold. Many people never realize that the ad is selling much more than just the product. Sex, fame, love and happiness are just a few ways of luring consumers into buying their product and by using these selling points, advertisers get consumers to feel the need to buy these products to become like the figures in the ad. By telling you what you want, or what you need, advertisers like Calvin Klein lure you in because it’s what your “In2”.

(Conclusion) Advertisements like Calvin Klein’s new fragrances for both men and women lure you in by more than just a fancy ad on a billboard or in your magazines. The new fragrance “In2U” by Calvin Klein shows you what your into by using attractive figures, a hint of fame, a dash of happiness and sex, of course. Who wouldn’t want sex, fame, love and happiness? So the next time you look through your magazines, or go for a road trip through a world of advertisements, don’t let yourself be one of the many people that are oblivious to the reality of the truth in the ads.

Introduction:
A pearl is a jewel that is beautiful, white, valuable, soft and formal. It makes a wonderful addition to a classy outfit. A pearl may not be normally thought of as something that would benefit someone during a sporting event, but this Tampax ad makes it appear that it will be the answer to all of the athlete’s worries; that the lack of it is the only reason one doesn’t excel at sports. Who is the opponent in this event? Mother Nature herself! What can one do to prepare for the monthly battle? What hope is there without the Pearl? This ad tells us that young women coming of age can immeasurably enhance their lives by the use of Tampax products. Tampax not only sells tampons, but an empowering mindset as well.


Conclusion:
All in all, quality of product advertising needs to be improved. The lies to young women are designed to harm their self esteem, making them feel like they need to be something different from what they are. All tampons basically do the same thing regardless of a particular brand’s hype. Girls cannot fall for the allure in the false promises of these ads. One’s life will not be fulfilled by buying any particular product regardless of what any advertising may lead one to believe. This may be especially true in regard to tampons. In this particular case, perhaps the best thing to remember is that the power of Mother Nature will always beat the power of advertising.

Intro.
Crazy exotic rockin sex with a hot hippie chick, a fantasy of every male? Ralph Lauren convinces us the answer to that is absolutely! Perfume ads work hard to capture every type of women's attention and make them think they should thrive on smelling like their product. Without it no guy would be fantasizing of you! But don't worry, simply by spritzing on Ralph Lauren ROCKS perfume every day you will surely rock your way into every desirable man's pants. You will be rocking, bold, and sexy inside and out. By exposing middriff, having rough shaggy sex hair,bed-me eyes, tiny booty shorts, 'secret' tatoos and the 'rockin' 60's hippie fringe appearnce you will definately dominate every other woman looks and scentwise, just as the twig-like model in this ad does. Ads like this are one hundred percent intended to make you feel that without wearing this perfume you won't ROCK at anything and won't fufill any man's fantasy. Not quite the case, however most women believe it, therefore they buy it, with the thought process being Im going to spritz it on and ROCK out loud to life!

Conclusion
Obviously having a delicious aroma is never going to lead any woman down a path of major success. That is only an image put out there by models that have had plastic surgery, hair extentions, millions of make-up artists, and top of the line photo retuchers. After all they most likely don't even wear the perfume themselves. Smelling appetizing can simply be achieved with keeping up your hygine. You definately don't need to wear Ralph Lauren perfume to Rock at anything! Don't ever let yourself get sucked into something so obscence as if you smell a certain way you will have 'certain' success with guys or wity life.

Hilary Peterson-
Intro: She stands close to the mirror, really close so she can make sure she doesn’t screw up one of the most important parts of her make-up routine. She takes a deep breath and holds it while she wills her hand to stay steady— just for a few seconds while she strokes the tiny, thin hairs that frame her eyes with the small, black brush. Hairs whose main purpose is to protect her eyes from all kinds of contaminant. Does that even cross her mind? Has it ever crossed her mind? Heck no. It’s all about making her eyes bigger, prettier, so she can feel good about who she is as a person. Sound familiar? It probably does if you’re a woman who has spent untold amounts of time and money to make your eyelashes look perfect. For most women, eyelashes are a big thing. I mean a really big deal. After all, every woman knows it’s one of the defining features of your eyes. Do it right and you’ll the have dark, alluring, tantalizing eyes you’ve always wanted. Do it wrong and you’ll end up a spinster for sure. Eyelashes, especially long ones, are considered a sign of femininity in many cultures. Because of that, many girls and women want to have longer eyelashes, even going so far as to increase their length artificially. In this two-page ad for Maybelline Great Lash Mascara, the message is that there is a new type of mascara with a great big brush that you can use to give yourself “great big live-it-up lashes.”

Conclusion: Advertisements like this one try their best to convince young girls and women that their lives will be more exciting with longer thicker eyelashes— That they will automatically become more worldly by buying and using this Maybelline product. After all, what woman wouldn’t want “great big live-it-up lashes”? But seriously, can longer lashes really help you become more of a woman? Become a world traveler? Lead a fuller, more exiting life? No. But, don’t blame Maybelline. They’re only doing what good advertisers do— sell the sizzle, not the steak. It is we American consumers who have chosen to believe that a certain brand of mascara can make a difference in our day-to-day lives. It is the female condition to want to become the best we can be, and if it means purchasing countless tubes of “great big live-it-up mascara,” then so be it. After all, most of us aren’t born with it—so it must be Maybelline, right?

intro
When you look at an ad do you look at the product or the sexuality of it? Well, you can say the product but you could be fooling yourself. When you see an ad that is a room full of women and the mystery man is only watching you, what do think? His dark eyes and serious face staring straight at you in your half covering dress and shaded blue eyes. While your eyes have dangerous written all over them.
conclusion
Looks can be deceving(S). They are some of the traits in people these days. Sexuality is, in most cases, in everyday life. You can't hide from it. When using Armani code you can be sexy, flirtatious, and mysterious.

Game, set, match. The game is tennis. (S) One popular professional tennis player is Serena Williams, the current World Number 1. She catches your eye in a Tampax Pearl tampon ad where she is pumping her fist with excitement. (CX) Is it that using Tampax Pearl tampons will make you win at your game, too? What is it about this ad that is making you believe that you need to buy Tampax Pearl tampons?

Does having Serena Williams in an advertisement help a company sell a product? One Tampax Pearl tampon ad shows the famous tennis player pumping her fist with excitement like she just won a game. Many teenage girls look up to a professional tennis player like Serena Williams, but does that mean they buy that brand of tampons because she is the main focus of the ad? (CD-CX) Not always. Serena Williams may catch your eye in this Tampax ad, but does that mean you will go buy the product? (CD)

In america we use sex to sell a lot of things but can it sell everything? The food industry would be the least likley industry to use sex to cell their food wouldnt u think? According to a 2009 Arby's add it is possible to to sell food by means of sex. It makes us wonder if companies want to sell sex or their product more. With the food industry using sex to sell food is there anything else that isnt sold by sex? In America it is becoming rediculous what we use sell with sex. We use sex to sell a lot of things and it is becoming so popular that sex is the only way we know how to sell things.(CD)

(Conclusion)

Sex can sell everything and anything? by looking at this add it shows that people in America will by anything that is being sold by sex. by using sex to sell products it seems that companies first want to sell the sex and then sell the product. While sex has been used in other products to sell them using sex to sell food has gone way to far.(CD-CX) This just proves that in america we need sex to sell most of our products.

Match.com says 'its okay to look.' They don't want you to be embarrassed that you are single and are so desperate you have to use the internet to find your "perfect match". What has this world come too? Are we too lazy to go out and find our match or let love happen itself? You can't force love. By using match.com thats what we're doing. This match.com ad even says guarenteed. How are you guarenteed the love of your life? It all started off when we were in elementary school and we have our friends ask the boy/girl you like out. Then it leads to asking someone one out over a text message. What if this gets so bad that your boyfriend asks you to marry them over a text message?


Conclusion:
Yes, its okay to look. But, should we really stoop that low by letting the internet pair us up with somone that they think is "perfect" for us? I say we change our ways now, before it gets worse.

Do you ever feel like disappearing into the wild? According to Realtree Max-4 if you wear their product you will do just that. They say that if you buy and wear their product that you will become one with nature. You will become a savage warrior prepared to hunt the wariest of ducks. Max-4 will make you a more hardcore hunter where other brands of camouflage are insufficient. With Max-4 you become so hardcore that you will eventually “Live the Wild.” Instead of you becoming one with the wild, the wild becomes one with you. The domestic act of hunting into transforming a colossal, epic quest, Max-4 gear convinces consuming killers to buy until they feel completely part of nature.

So, here is my last question, does the desire to become something you are not control you? In every advertisement there are subliminal messages everywhere making you believe that you can achieve something improbable. In the real world it is like a drug, something that you desire to keep transforming yourself. This advertisement takes advantage of this natural human trait and harnesses your mind into thinking you want to become a more hardcore outdoorsman. It makes you want to “Live the Wild.”

Burger King: mind-blowing or just a simple sandwich? According to this ad, your mouth should be watering by the time you begin to enjoy this delicious, 7-inch burger(CD). Sexual matters are displayed intermittently throughout this ad including the woman, the sandwich, and the text(CX). Burger King seems to want you to believe that this is not only a way to diminish one's hunger but will also appease to one's sexual desires(CD-CX). Is society changing its values considering that Burger King has now dropped to the level of pulling sex into their ads, when it is actually only a source of food?

Conclusion:
In society, our values have changed concerning what is acceptable and humorous to pair together(S). Apparently sex and burgers is the new way to advertise for Burger King(S). When looking at this ad, numerous sexual things come to mind by reading the text and seeing the look on the woman's face. According to BK, this 7-inch sandwich can officially subside your hunger and sexual desires. In reality, we know that a burger isn't going to satisfy a person's sex drive, but with such a convincing advertisement, people will believe almost anything(CD-CX).

Your daughter who is only fifteen comes out of her room one morning before school dressed as if she just walked straight out of a Cosmopolitan magazine. She is wearing a dress that barely covers her. Her hair is done in the latest fashion, her face is weighed down with dark make-up. (CD) You are outraged and want to know where she would get the idea to make herself appear this way. The idea is everywhere around her, on the television, on billboards, and in her magazines. You wonder how you could shield her from these sleazy ideas. You can’t, because unfortunately the advertisement industry knows that sex sells. (CX) The Louis Vuitton advertisements influence young women to fall in lust, not love.

What is our world coming to? (S) There are advertisements everywhere telling young women that it is okay to fall in lust. The advertisements tell young women that hooking up and wearing revealing clothing is okay. None of these things are okay. It is totally inappropriate for a fifteen-year-old girl to look up to these kinds of role models. These type of advertisements are sending America’s morals down the toilet.

(Intro) Can you picture yourself just a regular old guy playing backyard football with a future hall of fame player? The chance of this happening is miniscule. Wrangler tries to appeal to the average American that you can be awesome like Brett Favre if you just wear Wrangler jeans. Although Wrangler likes to say their jeans are five star quality, tough, and reliable they rip and wear out just like any other pair of jeans.

(Conclusion) Advertisements like this try to make the average man feel better about himself. In reality can a pair of jeans give you a boost of masculinity? No. Wrangler is only doing what good advertisers do, getting men's attention to be better than all others by wearing their product.

(INTRO) Watching Sunday Night Football on NBC makes men feel like they can fulfill their childhood dreams as easily as watching a simple NFL game. With the big hit that is known fantasy football, any man can feel like a coach or general manager with the leagues and rosters that can be assembled. The excitement of the game of football alone could make a man just think back to the times when he once took the field proudly with a full set of pads. Men also wear apparel of their favorite team to feel like part of the organization they desperately follow. NFL has the power to bring men back to their childhoods and make them truly love the game of football again.
(Conclusion) With everything that is going on these days, men still have time to have fun enjoying the national football league. Average joe's feel like gladiators from a huge coliseum while they are watching modern day gladiators go to war. Winning or losing, the men involved get the feeling of accomplishing something great. This ad about Sunday Night Football is big because it relates to all those who join together in a friends garage and draft the team that they will praise for the next year.

Have the clothes u wear ever made u feel more popular, more "in", or even more country? Well in this Wrangler jean ad Brett Favre becomes more country just by wearing these jeans. Has a product like Wrangler jeans convinced you that if you wear this product that it will enhance your life in some way or another? When Brett is in an ad it adds and eilightness to the product because of his outstanding proformances and abilities.

In this paper I have exposed advertizing's secerets to get people to buy a sertain item. Even after knowing all that i do about advetizment I still get drawn in to buying items that are "in" or "hot" with my generation because one does not want to be outcast with the trash but rather drawn in under the safe unbrella that is "coolness". I have shown you the very reasons the Wrangler company has chosen Brett Favre to be in the ad to sell more jeans because he is trusted and talented. Comfort, quality, value, you can count on Wrangler.

(INTRO) What are you in 2? Is it their appearance, their body, or how they smell? It’s the smell. The sent hits your nose and you are onto them like a cat is onto a mouse. Suddenly you want them, you want their body. Calvin Klein’s fragrance IN2U does a fantastic job with myth-making in its ads; no wonder American’s continue to daydream about romantic, splendid scenes they see in ads and movies.

(CONCLUSION) Calvin Klein’s fragrance ads cause Americans to forget what the product is actually used for. Their product won’t make the opposite gender come after you like a dog chasing a cat. The sent wont cause girls to run up to a guy and ask for his number while he’s walking down the street. You can’t just put on the perfume and have it magically do all of the work for you. Because of advertisements, Americans are constantly looking for these fantasies to come true.

(Intro) Do you want to get high? That's what Forum is trying to say by advertising their boards in the Snowboard Magazine. The main line is, "I get high with the help of my friends." All it shows is a sequence of a guy jumping a gap on multiple boards. I wonder, are they stereotyping snowboarders as kids that go get high? I sure hope not, I happen to be a snowboarder but I don't go out and hit the bong everyday or week, i stay away from that junk. If not trying to reach out to the pot heads, than who are they trying to get?

(Conclusion) I believe that stereotyping snowboarders as pot heads is only a hidden message in this ad. Ya at first a snowboarder might look at it and think that this guy uses his Forum boards to get some narly air. Now if a different person were to look at it, they might instantly think they're talking about getting high until they really look at the ad. Everyone has a different perspective on what an ad is saying or what they think it's saying, it's all on how you look on life. Ads have all sorts of different messages, you just have to find them.

How does a african american female transcend all the typical stereotypes and politically incorrect nomenclatures associated with them? The answer is actually quite simple, by drinking gatorade. Gatorade wants to play off of all these emotions we have which is why they choose stars like Serena Williams to rock their ads for them. In this ad Serena seems almost titan like as she is kneeing in the ground clenching her fist with the realization that she has just won her third wimbledon title. Ads like these also plays off of our emotion to want to be winners too, and not just winners but consistent winners, winners who become almost god like in their respected sport. Gatorade knows that as athletes we dont play just to win once we play to win consistently and not fade away.

When you look at gatorade ads if you are illogical in your analyzation you will only see a sports star repping the most famous sports drink in america. On the other hand if we put on our critical thinking lenses as Mr. C would have us do we can see the true depth of the meaning of the ad. Thats why Gatorade(and other sports drinks)use out of this earth stars like serena who are multidimensional to represent them. not only is serena the most talented women in tennis right now she also is one of the hottest fashion designers in the game. These types of ads give people like you and me hopes that one day we can be dominant, consistent, and multidimensional winners. What could be better?

Easy, breezy, beautiful covergirl. Do you have what it takes? Nicole did. The winner of America's Next Top Model, Nicole, did. She is easy, breezy, and beautiful. She is advertizing the new Lashblast mascara for covergirl. The firey red head looks seductive yet somewhat fake. The show America's Next Top Model airs on the CW. These girl are only the best. It takes alot to be airbrushed and wear fake eyelashes. Not every girl can be easy, breezy, and beautiful or is it easy, sleezy, and beautiful?

Nicole is one of the lucky girls who can pull off being a model because her face can be airbrushed and look good. Her fake eyelashes really show how the product itself works. So go out buy lashblast and become easy, sleezy, and beautiful. Become a covergirl.

Do you have the power? Do you want the power? The only way to get it is to be respected. The only way to be respected is to own this gun. A pure adrenaline shot strait into the veins of the real men of men (S). With a military look and feel, this is a perfect example of how to be respected (S). Proudly built and engineered in the USA, it’s all that a man wants, needs, and expects out of a rifle (CD).

Smith & Wesson (S&W) has broken from the mold, defied society, and have added a brilliant new aspect to the way weapons for the average American look and perform. Not only will you be “kicking brass,” but you will be owning whatever you are shooting at; kicking some serious butt (CD). From their early years, the goal of S&W has been to produce a perfect gun, at a perfect price, in the perfect country- America. Just like America, it’s built and engineered tough, to keep it working as the most powerful weapon at that caliber.

Ladies! Wouldn't you love to fit back into those jeans you wore back in your twenty's? To feel perfect in every aspect of your body? Of course you would! Turns out all you have to do is buy this Nivea My Silouette Gel Cream and everything will be perfect again. Ads like this one hit the major sore in society. This ad makes women think it will make them perfect again, that once they can fit into these jeans, everything about them will be sexy and perfect once again, boosting their self esteem. But, for most women, using such products doesn't always give you the outcome you wanted...giving them worse self esteem than before. We need to start thinking deeply about what these advertisments are telling us and whether or not to believe in them.

Conclusion:

Nivea does an amazing job at attracting women to their ads because who doesn't want to be young, beautiful, spontanious and of course fit into their old pair of jeans? I'd like to think that us women will begin to stop buying into these ads but that's very unlikely. With all of their studies, Names like Nivea can figure out exactly what were going for and what were wanting because they need to make products we need to make a profit. This gel may or may not make you look a little bit better but does that really make you beautiful? While women are busy worrying about what they look like, men are thinking their beautiful no matter what they do. Beauty on the inside is where it all counts; we need to stop worrying about what we look like on the outside and start loving what's on the inside.


S- Ads like this one hit the major sore in society.

CD- This ad makes women think it will make them perfect again, that once they can fit into these jeans, everything about them will be sexy and perfect once again, boosting their self esteem.

CX- While women are busy worrying about what they look like, men are thinking their beautiful no matter what they do.

CDCX- With all of their studies, Names like Nivea can figure out exactly what we're going for and what were wanting because they need to make products we need to make a profit.

Sex, drugs, and rock n' roll, the three words associated with playing guitar. We all know the most important of them, the sex! However, do you know what the secret is? (Cx) Let's just say, the person doing the rocking doesn't matter at all. (Cd) It's all about the tool they're using!(S)

Men all over the world will somewhat base their purchases off how attractive the items are to women. (S) Using Jenna Jameson as a model for a line of guitars is insulting, yet a good way to persuade a freshly started male musician to buy one of the guitars. When the everyday dude decides to rock, he knows what he's in store for. (Cx) If a certain level is reached in the career, fine looking women are definately attainable. (Cx) Jackson guitars wants to enphasize on this and make it possibly the only reason to buy this guitar. We as humans with morals need to keep our real goals in mind when it comes to rocking. This does not include trying to get with pornstars.

Guys. Sex. More Sex. Is this what you will truly get if you wear Curve fragrance for women? Thats what this ad is trying to portray. Across the bottom it says "Curve Fragrance For Women. See Where It Takes You." This is telling us to wear the purfume, and in return we will receive guys, sex, and more sex. Curve perfume is promising that if you wear this perfume, you will have hot guys like the one on the advertisement after you just because of how you smell. So now looks and personality don't matter anymore just because you have the right smelling perfume? Curve ads, sultry and detrimental, will slowly lead to society's moral collapse.

Perfume advertisements are trying to make us think that if we wear their perfume, we will get the results that they depict in their advertisements. Specifically this ad for Curve perfume, is promising we will get guys, sex, and more sex. So its pretty much saying we don't need to put any effort into finding a hot guy, just wear the perfume, they'll be able to smell it, and they will come to you. Obviously this would never happen because what guy will come smell you before they talk to you? Curve fragrance for women is full of empty promises.

Imagine a drink that will not only quench your thirst but will give you everything that you could possibly want, somethings that you have wanted in your deepest and darkest fantasies. This drink can make you faster, stronger, sexier, anything you can possibly want. Thats exactly what you can expect the minute you crack open the lid to a gatorade bottle. Gatorade is depended on athletes to give them that last minute game boost that they need to finish off their opponent in double over-time. With gatorade it will feel like you are the only one out there, your opponents are nothing, you are everything.

By selling empowerment and confidence, gatorade effectively influences athletes arouind the world to buy its lies and liquid. It promises supernatural power from the first drop that touches you lips. Gatorade is supposed to make everything else abstract and boring like water, yet gatorade is made of 96% water its self. With a little flavoring and a $2 increase than water, you get all your dreams you could ever want. "is it in you?", yes it is always in you it is water, not a supernatual liquid, just water.

AD: Trojan condom ad on the beach

INTRO
“Evolve. Choose the one who uses a condom every time.” This is the slogan for Trojan Condoms. Trojan knows that people will have sex, so they are trying to promote “safe sex.” In this ad you see pigs wanting to get with all of the women. They represent the “pigs” that you will see at a beach that will do anything just to “hook up” with a girl. These “pigs” don’t have any intention to make you happy; they just want to satisfy their sexual urges. Walking on the beach you see the perfect couple hand in hand. This represents happiness because of the condom use. Eventually these “pigs” will evolve and become half of the “perfect couple.”

CONCLUSION
Almost everyone will have sex at some point and time in their life. When this finally does happen you don’t want your partner to be a “pig.” The one that uses a condom every time is the one that has evolved. Not everyone is a “pig” and you are the one that has to choose if you want to be the “perfect couple” or be dating a “pig.” You may start out dating a “pig”, but he can change. Thus: evolution. It is your choice, but “pigs” will eventually evolve and complete the “perfect couple.”

(Intro)Are you up for a good time? The GMC Sierra Denali promises you that you will never drive a better truck. You will expect perfection and you won’t get anything less. Nothing seems to be more satisfying as the thrill you get driving it. GMC gives you the ability to do what you want, when you want. It is the king of the road and is one of the bigger and better trucks around today. The truck is absolutely perfect unlike the swimsuit model with a pointy elbow. As they say close to perfect isn’t close enough. GMC pickup ads do a brilliant job with relating their Sierra Denali to a model in a bikini; it keeps the company’s profits up because the consumer’s mindset is attached to manliness.
(Conclusion)GMC is trying to express that you have to look at the little things. Not everything is perfect but the Sierra Denali is. This ad does an excellent job of persuading the viewer that this truck has nothing wrong with it. But of course like most ads out there they have to be lieing. Nothing can be perfect, her elbow doesn’t even look pointy but to me it looks fine. Everyone has their own opinion on thing. But in all this is a really great ad, it gets your attention and has strait up facts about it. All in all if I could buy a truck right now the GMC Sierra Denali sure got my attention

Human Nature is to crave what we shouldn’t have. The good book says it was an apple, but maybe, just maybe it was so much more. Once tasted, you can’t get enough and it haunts you until you ‘Just do it’, like a Nike shoe purchase. You flirt. You fantasize. Waiting until the moment you could enter into the forbidden act once again. This ice cream ad suggests the forbidden is the best and so is their product.
Using a Nun and a Priest was the best choice for the forbidden act. To perform untold acts in the holy of holies in truly forbidden, but the product is just that good. Untold resistance, obviously no human could control. So let go, kiss temptation, give into temptation, you can’t go wrong.
(work in progress, definitely not finished product. Not perfected yet)
Simple- Human nature is to crave what we shouldn’t have.
Simple- The good book says it was an apple.
Compound- You flirt and you fantasize about ‘it’.
Complex- Because no human can resist, they gave into the temptation of the product.
Compound complex- The Nun and the Priest will take part in forbidden acts, they give into temptation because it is only human.

What am I supposed to look like? This is the major question that women of all ages are concerning themselves about. This is merely a question of perception. In a perfect world, the reality of the matter would be that bodies of all shapes and sizes are beautiful. However, too few people carry that belief due to our image-based, superficial society. Although society's beliefs, they are not necessarily at fault, who is at fault are the highly influential media of advertising and the 'ideal' that those companies depict. In fact, in today's society, people become so obsessed with 'bettering' themselves and keeping up with the latest diet, like the Special K Challenge, that they may pose a danger to themselves. The way in which the media affects how we feel about ourselves and how we perceive ourselves and others is mainly ingrained upon us by the media. Advertisements everywhere are proclaiming extraordinary, life-changing results if you buy their product or follow their plan. Not many companies take into account how their advertising strategies will affect the human psyche. By superficially exploiting women and critiquing the human body, the self esteem of women and their perception of themselves is drastically encumbered.

The message that advertisements promoting diet ads have a tremendous affect on a woman's mind. The ads take control of the viewer's mind and forces them into thinking a certain way; make them hate themselves so much that they give in to buying the product. Promising results that are unthinkable and unhealthy or impossible. Creating more self hatred and disappoint with the failure to achieve the model like look of those in the ads. In turn, the viewer will seek out even more ways of attaining that perfect image with the use of more and more 'beauty' products. Inevitably though, will fail because in today's world the 'ideal' look is NOT a 'realistic' or a 'healthy' look and it is a one in a million shot to get it, for the rest of us, that expectation of ourselves is much too high.

Shifts In Smuttiness
INTRO
What did jean advertisements look like in the past? How have they changed over the past 30ish years? Jordache Jean ads show their shifts in smuttiness over 28 years. Even though these ads are so many years apart, they both push the boundaries of acceptable advertising and harm, yet empower, women. COMPLEX Smutty for decades, Jordache jean ads offer fantasies for the wearers-fantasies that have shifted to empower today’s women.
CONCLUSION
Jordache Ads are harmful but, also empowering to women; but jean ads should not make people question if it is acceptable or not. [CompOUND] Shirtless and staring into a grand mirror, the black and white smuttiness of this advertisement is not completely necessary. Is this “Sexy”? If it is than the term “Sexy” should be redefined.
SENTENCES
You need to wear Jordache jeans to be hot and wanted. SIMPLE
Although Jordache empowers women, they go about it in a harmful manner. CX
While she stands half naked in front of a mirror, Heidi Klum looks obsessed with herself as she ogles at her own reflection. CD-CX
Heidi’s butt seems to be perfectly framed between her arms, hair, and the riding crop she happens to be holding. SIMPLE
Walking through a field, wearing a long jean skirt down to your ankles, and almost being taken down by a guy in an all jean suit must have been the cool thing to do in 1986, according to this ad. SIMPLE

Introduction:
(CX)When wearing Estee Lauder Sensuous, one is able to be an individual because “Every woman wears it her way.” All this time I, along with many others, have been under the impression that there were only a few ways to put on perfume. Most people spray it on their wrists or neck, while others prefer the walk through. Can every woman really wear it her way even though most wear it the same way? The women in the advertisements for Sensuous are all in the same outfits, consisting of men’s white button-up shirts and black underwear. (S)The expressions on their faces are all identical. Vacant, like there is almost nothing going through their minds. So is every woman really wearing it her way? No. The women are basically Xerox copies.


Conclusion:
(CD)These advertisements were made to make women think they need this product in order to stand out, so they can be sexy. (CDCX)Women have the idea in their heads that because she has it, I need it so I can be like her. With the same clothes, wore the same way, and the same facial expression, these women are like duplicates of each other. Every woman wears it her way? Not even close.

(INTRO)
America was created with liberty as its foundation. Our forefathers agreed that the freedoms of religion, freedoms of speech, freedoms of the press, etc., were imperative to include in our Constitution in order for America to survive. It is not uncommon to see businesses today associate various types of freedoms with their product, McDonald's especially. This is an exceptionally clever tactic; advertisers can separate themselves from rival products by justifying that their commodity is the most "free". Yet one must ask them self: is health choice actually equivalent to freedom? Like a mirage, McDonald's manipulates its consumers into purchasing their food by displaying false promises of prosperity, satisfaction, perfection, and desire.

(CONCLUSION)
McDonald's is not the first advertiser to adopt this maneuver, nor will they be the last. America has always been proud of its multiple amenities, and one could be considered a Communist if they chose not to dine at a restaurant that offers the widest array of freedom. After examining the method of "food freedom" and its effect on society, does health choice equal immunity from restraint? Quite simply, no. Yet this tactic must work, seeing as how McDonald's customers come back again, day after day. It is despicable how gullible and naive we as a nation have become when we believe what advertisers, such as McDonald's, tell us.

S = Freedom does not equal choice.

CD=I lost all of my friends, and my parakeet blew up.

CX= Because I shacked up with Megan Fox, my grades rose significantly.

CD-CX= When I was eating McDonald's, I thoroughly enjoyed every second of it; it gave me an adrenaline rush.

Do you really think that a page full of smoking hot women, slightly covering their bare bodies with just a hand or a part of their legs, all while they grip and squeeze in close to a couple super ripped and testosterone juiced men, will make you buy a fragrence? Well, i'm disappointed and speechless of how true this could be. The D and G fragrence lines sure do seem to think that their ads do the trick and i'd say it is safe to assume they are right. Basically being promised perfection and great looks just with the squeeze of a high powered fragrence bottle, we will all be tested to try it for ourselves. What human being wouldn't want to surround themselves with such great looking people in such an easy why?

C_O_N_C_L_U_S_I_O_N_-


People will have their different opinions on the what a small little fragrence can do in certain situations, but i think that everyone can agree that sex can, and will, sell. Whether the sex is selling a fragrance or a deoderant or what have you, it will sell to someone, because we all know that there will be people out there who, subconsciencly, believe they will get a group of naked hotties when they get a hit of that fragrance. Next time you see a group of perfect naked people, do not be afraid to approach them and ask them "Are you wearing D and G?" Ask them and when they say that they are not wearing it, don't be disappointed because i will tell you right now, they won't be.



Sentence types!

Simple!- Dan Nelson is a stud! Do not forget to blog for College Bound.

Compound!- Woody has a snake in his boot and the snake is ready to bite that foot off.

The cat jumped over the moon but the cow ran through it.

Complex!- Woody has a snake in his boot because the cat jumped over the moon.

I found the cow covered in cheese because it loves the color orange.

Compound Complex!- I am running out of time and my blog is running out of space because it is late.

Intro:
A tall seductive woman stands against a wall of security lockers. She is wearing a tiny black dress that is extremely revealing, but she has confidence radiating off of her.The only pop of color you see is that hot pink Rocawear bag that is clutched in her hand. She looks intimidating yet keeps your attention by the intrigue you feel when you are looking at her. Demanding your attention, the product is being sold. Emphasizing seductivity and denying rejection, Rocawear offers sex appeal and undivided attention while doing some of your most secret of things.

Conclusion:
Advertisers are only successful if their products are targeting the right type of people. Sexuality is a major way to see a product. "Sex sells." Women are often used when using sex appeal, while a woman does her personal things, Rocawear can make her seductive and intriguing.




Sentences:
Simple- Jessica is very tired.
Compound- Jessica is very tired, but Chloe is hyper.
Complex- While Jessica is very tired, Chloe is hyper.
Compound Complex- Jessica is very tired and Chloe is hyper, while Kaila is a balanced mix of the two.

Because of the sexy fantasies males dream about, magazine ads make their product seem like their fantasies can come true. Men are seen as hardworking individuals that bring home the bacon, so knowing that their women can take the reins on this machine is mind blowing. The makita jackhammer is pictured inbetween a drop dead gorgeous looking construction girl. She raises the bar for the average looking women out there because men will want perfection and desire. Because of harmful ads like those found in Maxim Magazine, men of all ages raise their standards of average-looking women to mind-blowing bombshells.


Advertisements are only accomplished when people buy the product. They don't care who they target as long as it's selling. Advertisers lie and send out secret messages like those in this Makita ad. We all hear the phrase "sex sells" and we don't think anything of it, but in reality sex does sell to the subconscious mind.

(intro): Is it not every man's dream to go camping with your best friend and two vary hot young women as they help you "pitch your tent"? Well Newport pleasure cigarretts capitalizes on this fantasy.(simple) The ad they use to symbolize their product portrays this idea flawlessly. But in reality, this ad should be vulgar and insulting with it's blatent sexual inuendos and nothing to do with the product they're selling.

(conclusion): Newport Pleasure creates an excellent way of selling their product with minimal involvement in their ads. They portray false acusations to appeal to the potential customers. In reality, their ads are completely irrelevant with the product and should be easily seen through the lies and fantasies.

Compound: Jay works on the video, and I work on the blog.
Complex: Because our movie is amazing, it will be successful.
CD-Cx: Because we have spent so much time on it, the movie will be great, and I will be happy.

Have you ever wanted to be somebody else, look like someone else or to be noticed on an entirely different level? Do you ever wonder if their is anything superficial and materialistic, such as clothes, perfume, and makeup, etc. that can do this? Well these are the questions that ad designers hope you ask. they try to make that answer yes by puttin beautiful people in beautiful clothes, but it doesn't always work.
What these ads set as standerds isn't possible. Not everyone has "won the genetic lottery" and no matter what you wear, it doesn't mean that you'll get the guy or the attention. These companies are just trying to make money and they don't care what they have to do. Don't be brainwashed into thinking "I have to have this", "I have to have that", or "I couldn't possibly live without these." Don't turn into the superficial, high-maintenance girl that blows a lot of money on just clothes. They are only clothes and you are beautiful no matter what clothes, accessaries, etc. you have, and no matter what anyone else says.

S:In my ad, the girl is confident.
S:In my ad, the boy is laydback.
CD:My ad shows the girls' suductivity.
CD:My ad shows the boys' coolness.
CX:Magazine reader's see the woman's chest; when they look at the guy, they see his scarf.
CX:who wouldn't want that guy but the magazine draws your attention to the girl first.
CD-CX:The clothes are just clothes, that feeling you thought would be their isn't; you don't get any more attention than you did before.
CD-CX:As humans, we always want what we cant have, its built into our DNA, we can't help it.

Intro
Do you want to drink a genuine drink? Do you want to be important? Well sky blue vodka offers all of that in there ad. They bring about a perspective of drinking like no other drink. You can be rich and famous and get hot women. Sky blue vodka has an amazing way of capturing the attention of its readers with a man in a suite and a women in a see through dress lying in a pool soaked.


Conclusion
Sky blue has given false realities to men and women both. It shows us that men can lie around all day and be caterted to by gorgeous women who dont care about there selfesteem but only to benifit the mans needs. This ad degrades women and makes them into a sex slave where the man just kicks back and relaxes. Every mans dream right? You must drink this vodka and only this vodka for it will give you these dreams.

Intro: Have you ever thought that if I eat this protein bar, i will become super buff and awesome? Well, that's what this protein bar says to its customers. Many people take protein bars in order to get that extra energy they need to workout. Others take them because they think they have "magical powers" and can make them buff instantly. My ad does exactly this. If man was meant to be capable of this, nothing would ever be worth working for.

Conclusion: In conclusion, protein bars don't really help you do anything you couldn't do without them. Sure, they give you a little more energy but the drawbacks are tremendous and their ads very misleading. Those who think they need these protein bars are truly mistaken, because its not what you take that will improve you, its what you do and how hard you work for it.

Intro
When you go to the gas station, would you rather go to one that uses its profits on itself or one that uses its profits to help minority students make it through college. Murphy Oil is playing on your morals to get you to buy from them. Instead of showing a picture of white students they show a picture with the majority being a minority. The minoritys are looking at the camera while the white students are looking forward. Race is a prevelent factor in peoples minds and Murphy Oil knows it is more impressive to help minoritys through college insted of white students.

Conclusion
Murphy Oil is not stating "go buy our product". They simply let you choose them based on what they do for the community. The next time you go get gas you would be more likely to stop at the Murphy Oil station over their competetors, whether conciously or subconciously. Murphy Oil knows minoritys going through college is more impressive than a group of whites.

S-They simply let you choose them based on what they do for the community.

CD-Race is a prevelent factor in peoples minds and Murphy Oil knows it is more impressive to help minoritys through college insted of white students.

CX-Instead of showing a picture of white students they show a picture with the majority being a minority.

Intro: You wish you could be living a different life. A more fufilling, fashionable, exciting life. A life where you have "All You've Ever Wanted". This new perfume inspired by Demi Moore seems to promise that. Imagine having all the clothes, men, hook ups, and experiences you've never had! Or having a life just like movie star, Demi Moore. Just a spritz of this perfume and you can have it....or can you?

conclusion: Just because the title of the perfume seems to promise something, will that promise be fufilled? and just because its inspired by Demi Moore will people really buy it? Demi more is a successful, sexy actress who people might look up to and inspire to be like. This ad claims this perfume will make you sexier, confident and in control of your life. and then you can get "All You've Ever Wanted".

I was thinking about starting my paper with something along the lines of this: Women empowerment sold through ironic and smutty clothing; not intelligence. Isn't it ironic that throughout history intelligent women have been overlooked, and beautiful women overvalued? A women is not graded by the amount of knowledge they obtain but the amount of time the spend in front of the mirror. In today's worlds advertisements, companies are taking new out-looking and conserversial topics to sell their products. In a Dolche and Gabbana ad they are using this ideal of women empowerment to their advantage. They are saying that if you are to wear this product you too will obtain the power that you deserve and wouldn't have without it. This particular series of advertisements have extremely tough looking women with whips controlling men who are practically bowing at their feet.

Then i'm thinking about ending it with something along the lines of how you can only obtain this power by the lines of wearing this product and spending a crap ton of money doing it (obviously not this particular wording) but i'm stuck on this part.

When you think of sports what do you think about: the action, the thrill, following your favorite competitors. Have you ever thought about the standards these people are held to and if they do one thing that people don’t expect them toby then the media is all over it and is constantly hounding them trying to get them to say things that they can possibly take out of context and put on a magazine to make it sell even though it is not entirely truthful. Or maybe about women wanting to be equal with men and wanting to be able to do the things that men do so they don’t feel like any less of a person because of it. About every sport in existence comes with some kind of danger, like in hockey you can get teeth knocked out, or in NASCAR you can crash and get injured or be killed, or in NFL you could get permanently paralyzed or crippled. You could probably say that America runs on danger. It gives you a thrill that you can probably not get anyway else, but the reason they keep coming back for more is because they gain more and more respect by not giving in because of a broken leg, or any other part of their bodies. Even more this is with the females in sports today. They feel that they have something to prove to the guys, that they belong somewhere else other than the kitchen, that they can do anything that the men can do, maybe even better. They don’t like the standards that they have been set to, they think they can push the boundaries and make new names for themselves by being the best they can be. They feel that sports are a universal thing for both men and women.

Chris Kujawa Racing through the desert in a modified dune buggy, running over skags for experience, being able to hop out at any time and start shooting, being chased by bandits and psychos apearing out of every corner. This is what you can expect out of the game Borderlands, this game appeals to all sorts of people because its multi-platform and you can also play it alone or co-op with friends. It is purly mind-blowing insanity at its fullest. A real "Knock you on your ass" kind of feel. The add for this game is a real eye opener, you have to take a second glance and with the bolded yellow color letter sayings it is almost impossibly to pass something up that looks so awesome. This may be something the gaming community will never forget and even those who dont like video games but like to watch movies or just plain watch people play video games, this may even appeal to you. Infinite possibilities awate you in this post-apocalyptic hell!

In conclusion to all you have heard this video game ad must have taking some really smart people to make. I personaly dont buy games without doing some research but i saw the case and started reading because it looked cool and it just pulled me in. Subconciously thinking this might be an escape from the boring reality that is right in front of my eyes. Killing a few brain cells playing non-stop and turning my head away from life (At least for a few hours). Making myself and others more and more zombie like to seeing blood and gore in real life and wishing everything from games was real. All in all I hope whoever reads this was enlightened and thoughtful, oh and maybe, just maybe, I made you wanna give this game a try.

Blondes have more fun. Everyone knows it right? The blonder you are the more attention you will get. Whether it be for that angelic innocence or the inability to do anything without assistance due to blind ignorance. John Freida captured the intense sensualtity that comes with being a blonde in their ad for hair dye. A womans inner beauty is no longer determined by her personality but rather by the color of her hair.


Is this the image we really wish to attain? Someone wise once said that it is what is on the inside that counts but now what is on the inside is being determined by what is on the outside. Brains once equaled beauty. Have we lost our vision? For all of us blondes who have intelligence and common sense will we be forced to hide it? I urge all of you blondes to break the mold, share your wisdom with the world.

Intro...
“Wish you could outshine dullness and get amazing healthy shine leading salon brands can’t beat?” This is the hypothetical question Pantene Pro-V ads ask consumers. Of course, any woman, or even any man, would want amazingly shiny hair without paying a tremendous amount of money. The ad also promises satisfaction; “If you’re not happy with Pantene Pro-V, the manufacturers will switch you back to your old product.” What would make consumers believe such a promise? If you wanted to be switched back to your old product, why would you be searching for a new one? The promise is also written in very fine print. Would the consumer even see it or acknowledge it? Most people probably don’t even know it’s there. Like most advertisements, the producer put the most important facts in the smallest print. This advertisement targets women form their teenage years to mid-40. It also appeals to consumers with a modern lifestyle, one which includes being outdoors and active. Pantene believes that many young women living in a modern lifestyle would use their product as one less thing to worry about with their usually hectic schedules. If a woman’s hair looks good, then she feels better about herself.

Conclusion...
Pantene Pro-V consumers believe that they need any one of Pantene’s hair systems, when in reality all they really need is a shampoo and conditioner that actually works for them. Salon brands are expensive and consumers don’t necessarily need them either. Each person has different hair and should use the product that works sufficiently for them.
