Journal Prompt 5. Read this article about bad advertisement. Discuss one advertisement you've seen or heard that you believe is poor advertisement--describe the ad so that a person reading your discription could visualize the ad without seeing it. Then discuss why you believe the ad is bad. 2 para
A Clearasil StarClear advertisement. A picture of a girl with long brown hair with really clear skin. A bottle of Clearasil StayClear is on the side of the picture with a memo saying " Clearasil StayClear is gentle, oil-free and conditions your skin. And because it's Clearasil it deep cleans pores too."
I think that this is a bad advertisement because the girl could have used a different product to make her skin clear or she could have naturally clear skin. Just because you put an ad with a girl with clear skin and a bottle of Clearasil ClearSkin next to her doesn't mean she uses that product everyday to get the clear skin that she does have.

The advertisemnet is a tampax pearl with Serena Williams as the spokes person. Serena Williams and Mother Nature is on the tennis court with Serena Williams with a tennis racket in hand hitting a tennis ball at Mother Nature. Mother Nature is holding a present to say that her monthly gift is here. There is a memo at the bottom of the advertisement saying "Serena Williams isn't about to let Mother Nature's Monthly Gift ruin her game. That's why a champion like her trusts the unique LeakGuard protection of Tampax Pearl."
This is a good advertisement because the ad is saying that taxpax pearl can beat Mother Nature so she can go on and play her daily sport. In the ad Serena will be going doing her routine of playing tennis and Mother Nature will not ruin that when you are wearing tampax peral. It makes it seem like tampax peral can "outsmart" Mother Nature in no matter what you do.
