Advertisements Everywhere: A Test Entry

Ranging from the terribly ridiculous to the utterly aesthetic, advertisements are everywhere.  And before I turn this blog entry into an essay (by pure accident, of course), let me show a couple of examples of ridiculous and "pretty rad" ads.  Just from browsing around the Internet, I discovered this one "old school" cell phone ad created by Samsung. Compared to the very bland magazine ads for cell phones, I found this one aesthetically pleasing purely for the fact that I am very much a music lover.


Meanwhile, in this commercial for AT&T that has aired quite frequently on TV.  Children are saying what children at that age typically say.  However, being one who works with that age group during the summer, I get quite irritated with commercials such as the one displayed below. Primarily since I know that most of the children I work with do not have conversations at all like the ones AT&T displays.  On another note, the conversations within the commercials do not often make sense with what is supposedly being advertised.  I more often than not turn off any and all commercials where the objective is not clearly stated.
