The Onion poked fun at the ways in which products are marketed at consumers using satire. The MagnaSoles article references false logos such as pseudoscience as well other nonscientific terms and concepts to advertise their product. The article also uses faulty logic to try and convince readers that MagnaSoles are great products to buy. Through these strategies, The Onion is implying that other products are marketed ridiculously to consumers. This MagnaSoles advertisement does not put its best foot forward with all of the false logos.…

In the twenty-first century we have become ingrained in a culture through which McDonaldized systems (through rules, regulations and scripts), have ultimately come to threaten the ability of those involved to think intelligently (Ritzer, 1998). It is clearly dehumanizing to find oneself mindlessly functioning like a robot within corporately structured systems. Chipotle's advertisement (2013), promotes themselves as a company that has been able to detach from the demanding, hegemonic structure, which further promotes an image of the company that is not “real” or “true”. McDonaldization of the food industry and the lack of control a person has over what is in the food they eat has created a runaway juggernaut.…
Advertisements have become more and more common everywhere, especially in technology. This can be seen in social media, electronic bill boards, televisions, radios, and websites. It has got way out of hand because advertisers put them anywhere, and on anything.

Verizon has numerous advertisements that demonstrate card stacking propaganda. They over-exaggerate how much their coverage is spread across the United States compared to other cell phone companies. In this one advertisement, two maps of the United States are portrayed. One shows the amount of coverage from Verizon, which takes up almost the whole entire map, and the other presents AT&T, but it only covers remarkably minute scopes of the map. The rest of the map is blank.…
As consumers, we have many reasons to believe that we are not effected by advertisement. We go about our normal lives, blind to what the true effects that advertising has on us, in both our physical and mental states. Though it’s difficult for advertisers to sway us in making a physical decision, the mental game they play with us is longer lasting and later comes to a physical decision. Many advertiser’s intentions with advertisements is to provoke an emotional response dealing with the senses of taste, success, and in some cases a sexual pleasure. Advertisements are full of riddles and secrets hidden within the page and text and they can be deceiving and, in some cases, deadly.…

The Super Bowl is arguably the biggest sporting event in the United States every year. However, some people tune in just to see the commercials. This is because some of the best advertisements are shown during this big time game. Two examples of these are the Budweiser “Puppy Love” and Volkswagen “The Force” commercials. The thing that makes these commercials different from the rest is that they make viewers feel a positive emotion towards the brands that will later subconsciously influence their buying decisions and that is why these two advertisements are some of the most successful commercials in Super Bowl history.…

Most people can probably guess that Cartoon Network would have ads primarily directed at children, but what is actually being advertised? I watched Steven Universe, a very colorful and popular show with both children and adults, during the final hour of Cartoon Network’s airtime. Due to Steven Universe and similar shows attracting an older audience, at this time Cartoon Network tends to air episodes that are directed at a slightly older audience. After analyzing the commercials that appeared on Cartoon Network from 7:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., I noticed a disproportionally large amount of advertisements were for movies, and almost all of them used vivid imagery, catchy music, and other peripheral-route appeals. The ads that will be discussed are…
Aunt Jemima (1850) Ad Deconstruction 1.The message this advertisement is proposing is to “wake up” and have a great morning by eating “Aunt Jemima Pancakes”. I can tell this is the message they’re trying to get across to their audience because of the choice of text and pictures. This advertisement represents reality well because pancakes usually do look the way they are shown in the advertisement and people typically do eat pancakes in the morning.…
