Strawman Has a Point: Difference between revisions
→Advertising
Line 32:
* A car commercial attempting to advertise itself on the concept of creativity and "thinking differently" has the narrator talking about how his mother let him play with dolls and bought him a sewing machine, daring to break gender roles. The problem? The narrator takes [[Camp Gay]] [[Up to Eleven]]. To a parent struggling with such concepts, the commercial basically says "Reinforce your son's masculinity or he'll turn into a lisping fairy!"
* An insurance commercial had a woman talking about buying a new car, driving it home, and promptly smashing it into a tree. Her insurance company then had the ''audacity'' to raise her rates... except, you know, anyone who would drive a new car off the lot and immediately wrap it around a tree is what is called a "bad risk" in the insurance industry, and ''every'' insurance company would raise her rates over it. Yes, even the one being advertised, most likely they'd just do it by some more indirect method.
** In fact, this insurance company's commercials are riddled with this... most of its commercials seem to betray an intrinsic lack of understanding about how insurance actually works. In actuality they're attempting to prey on ''customers'' who don't understand insurance... but they wind up making it look like they don't know what they're doing.
