EOC Week 2: Three Examples of Questionable Ethics

I feel both these ads speak for it, but as a mom I feel this should have never been allowed. Last time I check your doctors tell you to keep plastic bags away from your infants as they could suffocate. Then please explain why these children are wrapped in Cellophane. These ad’s use baby's to sell their product but they do not care to realize the consequences of advertising like this. Kids can see this and think that its ok to wrap the baby brother or sister in plastic and it would be funny and cute. They don't know any better.

As far as the PETA advertisements go it’s not ok to eat meat but it is ok for PETA to create such provocative ads for children to see. I am all for being far to animals but I feel that this is going to far and is not what they should be presenting to fight their cause. I feel sex is a fall back in advertising when someone is having trouble trying to find a way to sell a product. Its said because I really feel that most of America is no longer shocked by advertisements that use provocative pictures to sell a product. It has seemed to come second nature with us. When we see an advertisement that leaves nothing to the imagination we just seem to brush it off and turn the page.

Is this really necessary to sell this product? This is an advertisement for a hat and yet the girl needs to be topless in order to do this. I realize sex sells, but is that all that advertising has to offer. Sex is a safe fall back for advertisers. They know that it is one definite way to capture the audience attention. There is better ways to sell things without posting a topless girl to sell a hat.
