Be a Buddy and Help me find Comic Ads with fallacies
I'm got an assignement for class to write a paper on Ads that have "fallacies in them to convince consumers to go to their product or service". I'm planning on doing mine on webcomic ads cause as we all know, there are some very creative BS ads. But I'd like to increase how many ads I have for referances in the paper and thats where you come in.
So basically I'm asking you to post what you think are the best ads that are full of fallacies for me. (You are more than welcome to put one of your own in if you like).
So if you know any other ads that do things like:
Promise Sex Appeal but fail to deliver.
Promise to be the best comic you've ever read.
Promise to be the worst comic you've ever read.
Claim everyone else is reading it.
Claim all the smart people are reading it.
Generalizes all other comics as inferior.
Basically anything that they try to tote as the truth but is indeed flawed.[/list]

the Ad I had on Ghastly's at the beginning of June had promises of sexual things.... but it's not running at the moment.

The main part to that is when they promise that and then it is no where to be found.

"Fallacies in them to convince consumers to go to their product or service." This seems to be only talking about fallacies in the ads themselves, it does not say anything about whether the stuff advertised is delivered or not.

But if it's delivered, it's not a fallacy =)Melody wrote:I could be mistaken, but I believe you are misinterpreting your assignment.Waf wrote:I'm got an assignement for class to write a paper on Ads that have "fallacies in them to convince consumers to go to their product or service".

But, the quote says nothing about the product, just about the advertisement. Whether the product is delivered or not does not change how effective the ad is, unless people are aware that the ad is misleading from a past experience. If it was asking about marketing campaign fallacies, that would make sense.

But if the product is delivered you cannot use the ad in your paper about "fallacies in them to convince consumers to go to their product or service".Melody wrote:whether the product is delivered or not does not change how effective the ad is
