Advertising is everything
Advertisements are all over the place. Advertisements have become so important that most newspapers, magazines, TVs, websites and radios stations could not exist without them. Advertising is how most of the money is made by these Medias. These days advertising is annoying in that when surfing the website for information other than advertisement a person encounters many of what we call “pop ups”. This type of advertisement works but not all the time. In other words, sometimes a product like nail polish for example pops up and as we all know that nail polish is mostly used by women. As a man I would not be interested in buying that for my own (maybe a man would buy the nail polish for a girl as a present?) because it’s a woman product. However, I would be interested if a pop up was advertising computers (laptops). Most of the time it really depends on the mood, sometimes people don’t have time to browse the pop ups because the have something better to do (research information for a music paper) or they don’t trust pop ups when it comes to entering a credit card number, because they think it’s a prank and the pop up will take more than their suppose to. People sometimes intentionally advertise products, but most of the time people advertise products or companies with out them knowing. For example, one day I was walking when all the sudden I saw a t-shirt that had a Pepsi picture on it. The fact that I saw that made me want Pepsi, so I went to the nearest store and bought Pepsi. The Pepsi Company did not pay the teenage kid that in a way advertised the product for me to buy. The teenage kid was just wearing a t-shirt to cover part of the body that most people cover. To estimate right know everyone (at home) is wearing a t-shirt that advertises a company. Mostly brand names like Nike, Tommy Hilfiger, and others. They are advertising the companies without any income being given to them. Think about it I am wearing a t-shirt that says “got milk?” well I am a media of advertisement to, I am advertising milk.
