ADS






"The more you play with it, the harder it gets. You sit there, eyes glued to the writhing, arcade quality graphics pulling and squeezing your knob. Now youre breathing heavily over the digital stereo sound. now you're shooting all over the place. but but its no use..."GAME OVER."

Many people would take this ad offensively, but I'm sure there is a great amount of people who think its completely harmless. I am definitely one that thinks its just funny and harmless. People need to stop being so crazy about advertisements needing to be regulated. The advertising companies have just as much right of free speech as we do, so they can say what they want to say and show what they want to show without needing to be punished for it. Yes the advertising companies do go too far sometimes but people just need to not take things so literally. People also need to realize that skinny "perfect" models are not real, yes in real life they may have good bodies but nothing close to how they look airbrushed and all made up. People need to gain the ability to know that many things shown in advertisements are not real!
Here's another innapropriate/ but not funny (at all) one for Popsicle's..

now that is an ad to get upset about..

  1. HAHA that sega add is hilarious. I think its pretty funny when companies put sexual ads out...not only is it funny but it really gets my attention and is actually pretty effective. But, I agree with you I hate it when people freak out about the ads (mostly parents). They have the right to say whatever they want! Although when it deals with children like the 2nd ad you posted, its pretty bad :/

  2. I completely agree with you about the second one! To be honest I wrote this blog kind of quick and I think i meant to write that the second one was one to get upset about, seeming how totally innapropriate it is..

  4. See I'm all for free speech, but that last ad is awful. I don't think ads should be censored whatsoever... but maybe the company making the second second advertisement should take a serious look at who their advertising to.... and what about. It's way inappropriate.
