ADS OF THE PAST- WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?!

Eat! Eat! Eat! Eat Those Lovely Tape Worms!

GROSS! What were those people thinking when they were designing this advertisement? I think it’s absolutely ridiculous if they are trying to convince people that it is good to EAT tape worms to stay skinny. In my opinion, I would say that this ad. is a “1” on a scale from 1 (very inappropriate) to 10 (very appropriate) because swallowing tape worms is equivalent to attempted suicide. Tape worms are dangerous parasites that are located inside a human or animal’s intestines to suck up all their nutrients. Consuming tape worms can kill us because it can steal our nutrients, block our intestines and organs. By clogging our organs and intestines, it may cause some parts to stop functioning, in other words- death.

Keep Those Chemicals Away from Me !

“Blow in her face and she’ll follow you anywhere”, are you serious?! I think this ad is ridiculous, no one in the right mind would want a man or anyone else puff a mouthful of smoke in their face! I think that the ad is just over exaggerating and under estimating women by telling us that women will follow men around if they blow in their faces. If they think a woman would follow them if they keep puffing dangerous chemicals in her face, they are just plain silly.

I Eat Lard, You Eat Lard, We’re a Happy Family...

Wee, we’re one big happy family because we eat lard... NOT! I can’t believe that people will think eating lard will make a happy family; that is absolutely disgusting! Eating lard? Do you know what lard is- its pig fat! The company is trying to sell people pig fat and making them think that it will make their family happy?! Wow, that just made me speechless. Why would anyone want to eat lard over all the other variety of food that we have? Eating lard will make us unhealthy and fat, and when we are not healthy, we might come across these many kinds of sickness and that won’t make us happy anymore.

Doctors Encouraging Us to Puff!

Is that a doctor trying to convince his patients that smoking is good? Wow, now THAT is funny. I always thought that a doctor’s job is to save lives and encourage people to stay HEALTHY! Well, I guess this ad has proven me wrong. That is completely wrong; a doctor will never encourage us into smoking. A doctor will only tell us what is right and wrong, in this case... WRONG!

I think that these ads are trying to convince a specific group of people that they should buy them because it will benefit them. For example, the second ad, it has a picture of a guy smoking and a girl “praising” him. The ad is targeting men into thinking that they will look cool and get all the girls they want if they smoke. In my opinion, I would say that these ads have gone too far, they are all false and harmful advertisements. The ads from the past compared to the ones today, I think that it has improved a lot!
