In a recent advertisement promoting, Covergirl & Olay Simply Ageless Foundation, Ellen DeGeneres makes numerous logical fallacies.

During the early 1500s in England, Sherrow writes, both men and women “used face powders, color cosmetics, skin moisturizers and fragrances.”…

Introduction Strong is the New Skinny There’s this supposition in society that every woman wants and needs to be beautiful in order to be successful in life. In addition to society, there is an abundance of multi-billion dollar companies devoted to selling women products designed to “fix” them into look a certain way. These companies come into our lives with advertisements directed towards fashion, celebrity gossip, and now, makeup. I got excited when I saw MAC’s makeup advertisement entitled “Strength.”…
Every man or even woman wants to look attractive as possible even if they are not naturally attractive, they’ll find all types of ways to look ‘sexy’. Many companies produce commercials for their products and their main objective behind these commercials is to get their product to sell.

The first was a Nivea visage Q10 plus creatine anti wrinkle day cream, which claims to reduce existing wrinkles, and help prevent the signs of aging in just 4 weeks. This also claims to be the reason millions of women do not look their age, because as the ad says “Heaven forbid a woman should look her age.” The other advertisement was for Olay Professional ProX anti aging lotion which claims to be clinically proven to show results of anti aging in 28 days. Along with the words on each advertisement, both show a beautiful and very young women.…
