But I will talk about how much more aware I am now of manipulation via advertisements. I never really thought about how much the media really effects us. But if you really think about it, you can't escape advertising, no matter where you go. Think you can escape it by relaxing and watching your favorite t.v show? Think again. Television shows, movies, and even a walk around the block, you can't escape it. What with all the "Product Placement" now days. I have to admit, "product placement" is one of the most clever ways to advertise something, I never notice it. I'll be watching t.v after school and see one of the characters on my show drinking some pepsi, or eating a type of chocolate bar, and all I want to do is go out and buy one because all I can think is how good that would taste right now. Even just walking around your town there are ads. Right now walking around the small town of Oromocto, every corner I turn, I see an ad for eligible candidates to "VOTE FOR....". I guess it doesn't matter where you are, or who you are, you will always be influenced by advertising. Here is a clip from Wayne's World, I thought it was pretty funny because they are mocking "Product Placement".
