2). Concerning Section C in Chapter 5, Advertising on the Internet. Please find a piece of advertising on the internet, provide a link on your blog, a screenshot, or include the advertisement in your post so the class can see what you are discussing. You should then relate the piece of advertising back to the concepts in Sections A & B in chapter 5 and discuss.

This link is for Sensa Weight Loss System, I chose a weight loss advertisement because I feel like those advertisements are the ones that pop up the most on the television and on the internet. Eat weight loss program advertisement is essentially the same yet they claim to be very different from each other. This weight loss system advertisement claims that a person can lose weight by not going to the gym and not, not changing your diet, and not mapping out food intake. This advertisement says that it is clinically proven with 100% customer satisfaction, yet I find that very hard to believe. Referring back to my personal experience, I find it entirely impossible to lose weight without doing anything. Although I have not tried this product, my personal experience tells me not to believe this advertisement. Although I do not know these people who are advertising this product, I find it entirely hard to believe them. Look at Kirstie Ally, she was on what Jenny Craig or something and apparently lost 100 pounds or something like that and while on the commercials, was showing up on tabloids looking 100 bigger than before. All of these weight loss programs and their advertisements always always ALWAYS says in the smallest font possible that results are not typical (http://www.frankwbaker.com/dietad3.jpg), which therefore means that there is definite reason not to believe this particular advertisement. Now hey some people may be able to use this product and actually see results, but not everyone and definitely not the kind of results like the people who have the "success stories." Most of this is due to my lack of knowledge of who writes these advertisements and who is makes these claims, but based on my personal experience (which is the most reliable source of information) I do not believe this advertisement.
Hi Cercolini! I like how you chose a particular advertisement because in my opinion it is tue that most online advertisements are about weight loss. With the media and internet with celebrity pictures at large everyone wants their image and so the idea of thin being beautiful and wanted is everywhere. I also agree with you that most of the weight loss supplements and programs are all similar with advertising how fast and simple it is. But as someone with personal experience as well who works out and knows the hard work and time to put in to be fit, it's not easy at all. Good job with explaining the cons of your chosen advertisement!
