I couldn't just pick one Evony advertisement. The progression of this online role playing games subtle ads is possibly my favorite to discuss. Since the first few advertisements no game has been more pronounced in saying "HERE'S BREASTS, JOIN OUR GAME!" Whether it's the desire to fit in, or join the game for the idea of soft-core porn headlining every page, this game has captured the attention of many young men everywhere. Very few women play Evony, probably due to the biases of the ads. My suggestion is tacking on pictures Fabio Lanzoni with a flowing unbuttoned dress shirt.
Aside from game advertisements, are the ads that tell people who they want to like and what others want to be. A likable person doesn't need brands, and consumer goods which only mask insecurity with a false sense of power and comfort. If individuals are a reflection of society then why don't the individuals force society to reflect off of them instead. When people build a bridge, it is the strength and unity of the group that builds it, but everyone in the group is their own person and does not belong to the group. They belong with the group.
Advertisements that tell people that they're more unique or will fit in because of a product are nothing but wrong.
If you are a parent or even just have a pet, this is an advertisement meant just to shock you. The idea of your pet having worms, and playing with them is like playing with a parasite. This advertisement is amusing and disturbing to me because of how happy the girl appears with a parasite in her hands. That's why it's targeted more for parents who also have pets. The connection of a kid to their pet is usually a very close and a loving connection. The idea of the pet being something that would like to eat organs is just troublesome.Because of the feeling it gave me when I first saw this I believe it is an effective advertisement.
Wow, great images, I especially like the last one, the shock value really does work,even if you were on say MSN you wouldn't scroll past that without stopping and seeing what its for. Shock value works the best in my opinion is getting peoples attention, on any subject.
