Recently in class we talked about advertising and its effects on us and society.  I thought it was really interesting because I have never thought a lot about advertising and its effects.  Because today was the super bowl, I made sure to pay close attention to the commercials and the different tactics that we learned about in class that advertisements use to try and get you to pay attention to their product. It was eye opening to while watching some of the commercials and the messages they portrayed. There were some that I thought were inappropriate and too sexual but there were also some that I thought were hilarious! My favorite commercials were the Doritos commercial and the Toyota Hybrid commercial.  They were both really funny and were not inappropriate which I really liked.  It showed me that even though we have to be careful when it comes to advertising, it can also be for our enjoyment and to simply make us laugh.
