RR #6 Lantry's Article

I absolutely loved this article. It was very intriguing because of how true it was. Women are stupid in a way. We fall for the claims that advertisements promise. Some of the illustrations presented in this article included women seeing themselves with men in their lives, beautiful woman, or beautiful celebrities promoting the product. The products promised that if you do not use this soap or this mouthwash, you would not get a guy. The pictures showed women using the product and trying to better themselves. The pictures with the soaps show women with clear skin standing over a water filled basin. The water filled basin is intended on representing holy water, which would signify that it is “right” the use the soap. The other soap ad includes the celebrity with the catchy “feel good” phrase. The celebrity seems to be smiling in every picture signifying that not only is she happy with this product but you will be too if you try it. At the bottom of the ad, it shows the same celebrity with her husband representing that you will get married if you use Lux soap.  In the Listerine mouthwash ad, there is a really pretty, youthful girl sitting on the floor with a huge smile on her face. She is slightly leaning forward to represent that boys will kiss you because your breath will not smell. The ad also includes eye-grabbing phrase. Like I said before, women are stupid. They will fall for anything when it comes to something they want and these ads really know how to manipulate women into thinking that it is what they want.
