Blog Post 3


I want to show the creative side of the ads, while they may be shocking; they are not breaking any laws. While I believe some things like full frontal nudity might be too much in the United States, I also think that society wants to take away a company’s freedom of speech and expression. I believe censorship should be in the adult hands for themselves and children. If you don't like an ad or commercial , turn the page, turn the channel or just don't look at billboards.

I think that these ad target young to middle age males and a general adult audience. Again we have some ads that may offend women and the jokes on them. I believe the advertisement use sexual references to sell these delicious food items.
 I think the main tactics in the ads are the text, obvious terms that refer to sexual acts.  The huge font sizes are used to draw the attention and add to shock value

It’s been a while since I had an English class, so I would to refresh my memory with the basics and new grammatical issues.
