This commercial has a two responsibilities, which are to convince you to buy an Android phone, and to stop bullying, it kills two birds with one stone.

The paper finds some more paper, after walking past numerous pairs of scissors, assuming that the other pieces of paper were going to be nice, he walks up to them, while in turn they were the bullies, and harassing him. This is a paradigm of hasty generalization, which is an additional fallacy found within this publication. Another example of hasty generalization is that the mean, or scary looking people, or in this case, objects, are the oppressors.

Each of the papers were ripped, drawn on, one even had an “F” letter grade on it, symbolizing that people with bad grades are typically bullies. While on the other hand, with the domineering rocks, they did not look mean, one had bird droppings on its head, while the other had a snail hat, none of which seem mean or bully-like yet they were terrorizing anyway. This is another occurrence of hasty generalization, stereotyping someone, based on looks, whether it is if they look mean they are mean, like in the paper bullies sample, when in turn they can look anyway they want, and can

Jean Kilbourne says that the people that produce advertisements try to trick us into believing that we are actually not influenced by the ads that they produce. Kilbourne believes that advertisers benefit from this strategy because their slogans and jingles linger in our minds and keep reminding us of their company.
