I never really thought about ads until this class taught me to think critically and showed me that everything is strategically placed in ads. I look at ads differently knowing the information I've learned since the beginning of the semester. I find them to be corny or annoying more than ever. I usually say that's not real or they planned that commercial thoroughly. One of my favorite commercials we've seen in class was the Subaru commercial that links love to their car. The portrayal of the actors in the commercial were very sweet and it felt as if it was genuine real love for someone else while featuring a car. You really felt the love at the end of the commercial or the display of love.
I hate pop up ads that don't go away!! The ads that pop up while I'm listening to music on pandora or on the radio. Maybe it's because I don't like the excessive amount that occur between every other song or that I'm too into the music. Either way, they're really annoying. Over time TV shows show more commercials than they do the actual show and even movies show too many ads for different movies or brands. I think advertising has it's pros and cons like most things in life. It definitely gets stuff out there and sometimes a little too much advertising and not enough content, but can we actually see television without ads selling random stuff to consumers, probably not.
