On Friday, my AP Lang class had a discussion on advertisements and there either brilliance or stupidity. I find the stupid ones to be the funniest. We discussed the AT&T advertisement with Luke Wilson defending themselves against the recent Verizon advertisements.
The following advertisement was presented by Verizon and was not taken well by the people at AT&T. However, as you will see later, their response is comical.
The above Verizon advertisement presented AT&T's 3G coverage map. And just see for yourself the rebuttal of AT&T.
AT&T uses their coverage map to hide the fact that their 3G service sucks. They lead their audience to believe that that is actually what Verizon was talking about but in fact they completely switched the accusation around.
Another advertisement I consider to be "stupid" would be the Snuggie commercials. Granted, Snuggies ARE amazing, the commercials don't do them justice. As you watch them, you wonder who was stupid enough to come up with the idea of the "one size fits all" thing for the Snuggie. I've been in one, they are actually more of a one size fits one giant kind of thing. No normal sized human being is going to fit into that Snuggie with easy access of the arms.
I may be overreacting. But I just think that the advertisement is extremely corny.
Though some of these advertisements may capture their audiences, when you actually look at them, you understand that the thought process behind them was slim to none. Congratulations all you unintelligent companies out there, you managed to make yourselves look like idiots.
Will you give in to the advertisements?
