Observation 1

Anderson and I found a commercial on www.thetruth.com and found it very interesting.  The commercial dealt with the issues with smoking. It also appeals to the younger generation by using animation.  During the commercial, we found it to be a comical but informative point of view at looking at the consequences of smoking.  The commercial also shows how society is naive to the affects of cigarettes.  This advertisement deals specifically with the number of deaths caused by tobacco in the past year.  It goes on to say that there must have been a "typo" in the number of deaths from smoking cigarettes. Eventually, we learn from the commercial that the facts were actually correct and that cigarettes lead to death. This commercial was made for the public in order to inform them about the truth of smoking cigarettes. It also easily catches the viewers eye by giving information that the public is not usually shown.  Overall, the TV ad was successful in getting the audience's attention and portraying the truth.
