Blog #4

Kids and teen obesity in the U.S. is growing at an alarming rate and if we dont do anything our kids and maybe even our self will end with many physical problems in the future. the messages that the ad is sending is very powerful because what it is basically saying that even someone who has a perfect body like barbie can end up being obese is they get stuck in front of a monitor doing nothing but eating. even someone who is unbeatable like superman no chance for obesity if he ends up in front of the tv. i dont think that ads like this put pressure on kids to be skinny i take it in a ways that makes me aware that i should go out and exercise. kids become more pressured when they see skinny, bone showing models on tv. to me this an ad that will help parents if they can read the message correctly because it uses to images that kids are use to seeing perfectly shaped. when i see this ad many thought come in to my mind but the most important is not let any more kid sit in front of a monitor and just eat we should help them by taking the kids in our families out to the parks.

  1. The ad did send many different messeges but i agree with what you said about how t.v. can cause obesity esepcially is thats all you do all day.Although i think they should have been a little more clear with the point that they were trying to get across. Because everyone can take it in so many different ways.

  2. I agree with you that these ads are giving multiple messages but it is more to parents because they supposed to be the one to set rules to their own children. I hope that people makes better choices sometimes.
