SPOOF ADS

BIG MAC ATTACK :this type of ad called the McDonald MacAttack, shows what the end will be for those people living on Big Macs from McDonald’s. They actually have the “M” sign that we are all used to seeing as we drive down streets or on TV’s on the heart monitor. It’s actually a pretty neat way to drive the point across.


cK ChicKen : when I first looked at this ad, I didn’t realize what the point was. Then I realized the Calvin Klein sign and underneath the word “chicken”, it says, “Great Legs Nice Breasts”. This shows what type of shallow industry the fashion world is, but I think it’s a bit degrading to women to use chicken as the way to advertise the meaning. But I can understand why they did. In this type of industry, they don’t care about people and use them for their benefits and profits. Women with great legs and nice breasts are needed, which is the only way to grab the attention of the public.



Joe Chemo Bed : at first I didn’t understand this but I found out that this is based on the brand Camel cigarettes. Joe Chemo is the “camel” and is in the hospital, looking like he is about to die from cancer. He is obviously taking chemo therapy, hence the name Joe chemo but it’s doesn’t seem like its working. I think this is a clever way to send a message to all the addictive smokers that they’ll probably end up in the same position as Joe Chemo is they don’t quit their dangerous habit. I wish these were the type of ads that you can see out on the streets or on buses because all of the “truth” commercials are getting a bit lame.


Obsession for Women : this is not the usual ad you see in the Calvin Klein “Obsession” collection. They usually have beautiful men and women who send a pretty seductive message across. I’m guessing this is why they named their perfumes and colognes “Obsession”. But in this ad, it’s a different type of obsession. It’s the obsession for women who aim to look and be like those models who advertise basically every product out there. It’s a deadly obsession that causes them to develop psychological problems and hurt their own bodies. I think this ad was an excellent way of showing what all the advertisements of today are really selling.
