Mother explains to her daughter that it can help lower cholesterol levels;nevertheless, several clips later it shows the daughter’s father to be stuffed with cereal and that he appears to be from another different color and race from the mother causing a huge controversial.

In rural forested areas of North America, forest fires are a big problem. From Alberta to California forest fires wreak havoc, creating a path of destruction that could easily be prevented if people took the proper precautions. The United States government saw the issue at hand and took action, creating the character of Smokey the Bear. Smokey the Bear, as his name suggests, is a human-like bear and his purpose was simple, teach the American people the dangers of fire and how to prevent such destruction. Smokey has been in use for over half a century being quite successful, but with forest fires still being a problem the ad council saw the need for a new campaign and released a new set of advertisements for Smokey.

The purpose of this commercial is to encourage the viewer to realize the importance of a stick of Extra gum in their life. The commercial begins with a tender moment between a new father and his young daughter as he chews a piece of Extra gum and makes an origami bird out of the wrapper. The father’s act of giving an origami gum wrapper to his daughter is repeated through different stages of the daughter’s life: at her birthday, at the beach, at the ball game, at the house with a date, and an emotional moment ending with the father’s discovery that she has always kept the origami birds in a special box.

This author used pathos, ethos, and logos to persuade the viewer to buy their gum via emotional triggers and subtle details. When people see this advertisement, they are immediately given a unique perspective of Extra Gum.

The commercial featuring Drake and the popular soft drink Sprite, was first launched in February of 2010. In the ad, Canadian born rapper Drake is seen standing in a studio attempting to rap with the beat provided to him. It appears the rapper cannot find the “right” words or “feel” the music. The producer asks him what’s going on and Drake responds with uncertainty. A sprite is given to the rapper to drink in the hopes that he will somehow come “alive”. The ad shows the affect the soft drink had on Drake’s sudden ability to perform. The sprite spread like wild fire through the rapper’s body and instantly he came back to life. The soft drink seemed to revive him just as a Doctor revives a patient who’s heart stops beating. Within moments of

To begin with, advertisers target kids in places they go to most places like school or online. For example, in the text “Marketing to kids gets savvy with new technologies” the author states, “on the log-in screen, an ad flashed for BabyPictureMaker.com, which nudges consumers to download pictures of two people - promising to send back a picture of what a baby they might have together would look like.” This shows that advertisers will go out of their way to get kids to see what they are selling or

The advertisement described the impact of the doritos by having the father and his friends betray his gender by dressing as princesses. This grabs the audience attention by using pathos- having the audience connect with the little girl and her father’s relationship.

Ninety-four percent of the earth’s population recognizes the Coca-Cola logo. That’s not an easy feat to accomplish, especially as a company that primarily sells soft drinks. A major reason why Coke is such a successful company is their advertising. In the commercial titled Brotherly Love, Coca-Cola uses calm music, warm lighting, and a humorous story to associate their products with happy memories in the minds of young people with one or more siblings.

Over the past twenty years, the amount at which advertisers are advertising to children is astonishing. Advertising directed towards children has estimated at over 15 million annually that’s almost three times more than what it was 26 years ago! Toy companies, fast food places, and retail stores are very eager to target children-maybe even a little too eager. Advertisers are consciously targeting children. Most advertisers are targeting children because they're easier to get hooked on a product. Advertisers target children by using cartoon characters to promote their product which will make the child want the product. Advertisers also target children by having famous sports stars or actors to promote their products. Advertisers will pay millions just to get kids hooked on their products. Advertisers are exposing children to dangerous amounts of advertisements every day and their finding new ways to get past parents. Advertising towards children has gotten so bad that the government is having to step in and new guidelines are being made to on how advertisers advertise to towards children.

The Audi R8 Big Game Commercial, "Commander" talks about an old man who is thinking about his time as an astronaut. He misses it and he just stares at a wall and doesn’t talk to anybody. His son comes with his Audi R8 and he gives the car keys to his dad to drive it. He becomes happy and excited and it makes him relive his time as an astronaut. The commercials purpose was to promote the Audi R8 car. Watching the commercial, the intended audience for an adult man with a son. I say that because the main character’s are an old man and his son. This commercial instills values like the past meaning reliving what you loved and also family. It’s not effective because it doesn’t use the Rhetorical Appeals like Ethos and Logos but, it does include Pathos which makes it somewhat good.

Media promotes all forms of obesity. In If You Pitch It, They Will Eat, a New York Times article written by David Barboza, Susan Linn, a psychologist who studies children’s marketing at Harvard’s Judge Baker Children’s Center states, “It used to just be Saturday-morning television. Now it’s Nickelodeon, movies, video games, the Internet, and even marketing in schools”(5). Essentially, Linn is saying that their has been an increase in food marketing because of how advance technology has gotten which has lead to the increase of weight in children and many americans. David Barboza, in If You Pitch It, They Will Eat, explains how marketers use television by stating, “Marketers know that children love animals and cartoon characters, and industry observers say they have used that knowledge not just to create new shows but to produce a new generation of animated pitchmen”(29). This statement is so true because when my little brother sees toys or junk food on television he immediately begs my parents to buy either one for him. The majority of commercials during programs aimed at children are for unhealthy high-fat, high sugars or high-salt foods with little nutritional value. Not all parents are aware of how their children are exposed to marketing campaigns that influence their children. Some top food choices for kids attack kids by their appealing commercials. The commercials use bright colors, a funny icon cartoon character, older kids, and catchy phrases. Also, the TV is sought to be a key to kids and their weight, it brainwashes the kids into thinking the bad food is the good food. Basically these types of commercials are a main source for the company’s money. Parents will do almost everything for their kids but sometimes the parents just give them food to stop bothering

The advertisements are public notices designed to inform and motivate. Their objective is to change the thinking pattern (or buying behavior) of the recipient, so that he or she is persuaded to take the action desired by the advertiser.

There exist a different forms of ads for different categories of people. That means that each advertisement attracts each categories of people by ages.

In the essay “Kid Kustomers” by Eric Schlosser, Schlosser discusses children advertising and its effectiveness. About twenty-five years ago, hardly any American company marketed towards children unlike today where the majority is directed towards children. According to an expert this era was known as “the decade of the child consumer.” Ad agencies implemented children into marketing in order to increase “consumption.” The Joe Camel ad campaign revealed how effortlessly children were impacted by ads, claiming it to be as well known as “Mickey Mouse.” The goal of many advertisements is to give children a “specific reason to ask for the product” in order to convince their parents that they need it.
