After watching the video on advertisements last week, I have noticed the advertisements and their messages so much more! It appalls me what is acceptable today. In a world where movie ratings decide whether young children can view a movie, these types of images are splashed in their faces! It seems that there is always an underlying message to so many ads I am bombarded with on a daily basis.
Even watching the Super Bowl, the advertisements seemed centered around someone getting hurt or made fun of. This isn’t the message our youth, who is already surrounded by images of violence, needs to be exposed to. People getting hit in the face with cans of pop or a cane isn’t something anyone wants happening to them, but I just know there is some kid out there that is going to try it. What example are we setting for today’s youth?
