An obvious and easy topic to talk about. The 4th key to media: media have commericial implications. Millions of dollars are wasted to put worthless ad into our equally worthless minds. My main question regarding this, do these ads work? Yes. When your on your computer or watching t.v you are gullable, open minded and easier saying "dumb". As our teacher Mr.Chaze said "a good video usually wins an election". How does this relate? The more interesting the product is and how it expresses his hardcore nature it attracts the comsumer. Gears of war (a popular video game) is a perfect example for this. This game is hardcore. The ad for it is equally hardcore but with a sensitive side to it. A more pessimistic look to war, much similar to themes shown in "all quiet on the western front". Mainly destroyed beauty. That nature is a getaway from reality. Is the game like it? No, it's a peice of shit on terms of plot and theme. A complete opposite of what the ad was promoting.That ad alone made the song playing into a phenomemon. Itunes was out of stock because this song was crazy. Once the ad was revealed game sales went over the roof.
Ad persuadsion is an obvious ploy of media. It manipulates our dumb minds into buying their product.
