AD v2

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cP2NRek7m6E&feature=related

This was an ad for a deal Domino's was having on specialty pizzas. The goal of this commercial is to get the viewer to want to buy their pizza. This commercial is targeted at parents because it shows that kids don't like specialty pizzas with a lot of toppings so Domino's is offering a low priced one topping pizza for the kids. This commercial uses pathos and logos. It uses humor and tries spark parents emotions when their kids get upset and throw tantrums. This commercial also uses logos because it informs us of this deal and shows the viewer the consequence if a parent doesn't get the deal.

I chose the ESPN fantasy football commercials. This commercial is trying to convince me to join fantasy football on ESPN. In the ad they show funny clips from previous drafts and what they've survived through. At the end they say that this year's fantasy football season won't be affected by the lockout. The commercial is entertaining and informative so I think it is effective. This ad is shown in the United States which is the country in the world where football is popular. This ad speaks to the male sports loving audience. It aired on the ESPN network. ESPN's commercial's are usually entertaining.

Daily Rhetoric

In my daily routine I see tons of rhetoric. When I open my web browser I see adds for angry birds links for Facebook and Ebay. When I walk through the hall to my shower I see flyers for clubs, bbq's and other events. All of these examples want something from me whether they want me to buy, participate or come and get a bite to eat. I don't mind any of these things, I actually find them helpful and informative. I am one of those people who  get persuaded by ads pretty easily. If not for the flyer on the wall I would have no idea that there is going to be a bbq and I would've missed out on  a good time. I feel that most people are capable enough to make their own decisions and I view rhetoric more as a suggestion that I can take or reject. Even Death Valley is a form of rhetoric. It says that Clemson takes a lot of pride in our football team and they deserve to play in stadium built for champions.

Even someone's clothing or appearance is rhetoric. When I were my gym shirt I'm saying "Hey look at me I belong to this gym and I work out" or if I dress up nice in khakis and a button down I'm saying that I care about my appearance and I think that wherever I'm going is important.
