Beauty and Brains


This is an Diesel jeans advertisement. This ad is very stereotypical because not only is it a girl doing this brave but 'stupid' act; but a blonde. It's a very popular stereotype that blondes are stupid and have more fun. But this is just a myth that society has made popular. Your hair color doesn't determined how your charter is and your actions. 

The direct message of this advertisement is that if you wear Diesel jeans you will be braver.  

The indirect message is that if you wear Diesel jeans you'll be cool, more outgoing maybe even more popular. 

This ad is very misleading because you can be smart, beautiful, crazy and brave! It's just your personality, you are who you are.  

I Love Candy!

The Great Candy Battle

It's the battle between candy brands; M&M's versus Starbust. 

The superior candy is M&M's because its not sticky, it's made with real chocolate and makes you happy!

M&M's not being sticky is an advantage because it makes eating easier. Unlike Starbust that gets gooey overtime, M&M's doesn't make a mess. This makes it easier for little kids  to eat without increasing the stress on parents. 

M&M's are made with real chocolate. This is great because this means it's giving you more nutrition than other sugar based candies. Chocolate is rich with minerals especially dark chocolate  which is a good source of iron. 

It's proven that chocolate makes you happy! Chocolate has endorphins,  which causes your brain to release "happy feelings" Even though this is not a well known fact, many people have experience this light-hearted feeling. 

Starbursts lovers claim that their intense, different flavors makes this candy greater than others. However, this is a wrong opinion because there is nothing special about the flavors. The majority of the flavors taste nothing like the fruit. Also the intensity is not strong all the flavors taste the same. This is why M&M's are better.
