Advertisments

Just in case you cannot read these billboards it says,
Audi: "Your move BMW"
BMW: "Checkmate"
Audi: "Your pawn is no match for our king"
BMW: "Game over"

Advertisements or ad's, you see them everywhere. You cannot avoid them unless you hid in a cave for the rest of your life. They're on billboards, T.V, New papers, Youtube, the internet, and your favorite social networking site. Not all advertisements are bad, I actually like watching or looking at them because they have become very entertaining. Like my example above they use humor and still advertise what they want to show. Commercials today also go as far as having a whole video about something very random, and at the last 5 seconds promote their product.

I love advertisements but there are a few out there that annoy me so much that I never want to see another ad in my entire life. One example of a commercial I dislike are the egregious sentimental ad's. Like the ad to the Above I love dogs and I wish that animal cruelty were stopped but, playing sad music like "In the arms of an angel by Sarah McLaughlin" while telling us that we should donate to unfortunate dogs and children in a third world country isn't very appealing to me. These are real issues and need to be addressed but, seeing the commercial 50 times a day really pushes me away and make me not want to donate to the cause. There are also the commercials that have nothing to do with the product. These are sometimes very entertaining like car commercials which i feel are never about the car anymore but still make me laugh in the end or make me so mad.

Overall I love commercials, They make me laugh, happy, sad, and maybe some times cry. I feel we need less ads and more content but they still entertain me in ways. I have even created and filmed a few commercials of my own. They emulate some of the commercials that I like. Of course I wont be showing them here because that would be embarrassing.
