Last lesson we learned about an extremely controversial Lynx ad.
We read an article that talked about and analysed the ad. The article showed a picture of one of the ads which depicted a nearly-nude women dressed only in a bra and underwear standing in a retro 70's looking kitchen. Behind her was a fully roasted turkey, and the words "CAN SHE MAKE YO LOSE CONTROL" were shown on the side.
The then analysed the ad and found it interesting that the background was depicting a 1970's house as opposed to a modern one. This was because in the 70's women were expected to stay home and cook as shown by the roasted turkey behind her. This was suppose to be a sort of play on that idea of life as the women is doing the exact opposite of what women would do in that era.
Also the ads "catch phrase" was "CAN SHE MAKE YOU LOSE CONTROL" written in slim, shiny bold letters as well as all capitals to make an impact on the viewer. This phrase can show how wearing links will let you lose control of your sexual desires for the women, while others in the class thought it was the other way around.
You show clear understanding of the messages and values behind the advertisement.
