ADVERTISEMENTS

PART TWO:

In this ad, it is advertising beer. The advertisement is clearly giving off the vibe that what could be better than anything that is skinny and blonde. I wonder how much the company would make by having a large, dark haired woman on there? Probably half as much as portraying a happy, perky blonde who in today's society seems to be the "ideal woman". This advertisement is just proving the point that people's outlook on women is extremely skewed.


PART ONE:

In this Durex Advertisement, it shows a woman with the sides of her mouth bandaged due to what we can only guess what. This obvious sexual ad is vulgar. I will give it that it is for a condom, but the "Really Big" in the bottom left hand corner is enough to tell a story in its own. One, how is this supposed to sell in the first place? Is it supposed to give guys the notion that "Buy the Durex condom and get THAT much bigger"? Sorry guys, doesn't work that way. This ad is unnecessary and explicit.

The Second ad on the right is advertising "shoes", really? Since when do shoes and sex go together? Puma is advertising the wrong thing in this ad, unless there is a 1-800 number written somewhere that I can't see that you can call for a "good time". One could wonder why the woman is even wearing shoes, because she clearly isn't the one reeking the benefits from the magical puma Gods.

Both of these ads are advertising the same thing for two completely different products. Who ever knew that condoms and shoes would have so much in common! They are both perfect examples of the saying that sex sells! Both are directed to make the man feel powerful when using either of these products.
