Netflix Watch


I saw a commercial on Youtube. The commercial is about The Netflix Watch. It started with a watch with a big screen. The watch looks like a big iPhone. The narrator was saying, “Have you ever wonder what total freedom looks like? Meet the Netflix Watch” and I started to wonder what the commercial was trying to persuade me to do. There are two guys who are wearing the Netflix Watch shaking hands with each other. Also, they both look satisfied with their Netflix Watch. The narrator was saying, “Which mean you maybe tap into watch where ever you were.” The narrator emphasized the sentence “where ever you were” and it shows a guy who is watching a TV show on his Netflix Watch in his car. He is captivated by the TV show so, he just stopped on the road.

There are two ladies who are hugging with each other and one lady is watching a TV show on her wrist while she was hugging. In addition, there are two guys who are running at a park while one girl is watching a TV show on her Netflix watch. The guy is chasing after her to watch it with her. The narrator was saying, “The Netflix watch customized for your preferences and all your day activity because life is too short to waste precious time. Not watching Netflix.” At the end of the commercial, the narrator saying “Will you watch Netflix?” As you can see, the commercial is appealing to emotion and trying to convince the viewers by creating an emotional response.

This commercial used various convenient situations to convince the viewers. Also, it shows how different between Netflix and cable television. After I watched this commercial, I wanted to buy the Netflix Watch because no matter where I am, I can watch any kind of TV shows on my wrist. However, I also respect dissent opinion on this. Recently, many people have their own smartphone. I think buying the Netflix Watch can be a waste of money because we can watch TV show anytime and anywhere. Accordingly, people can think the Netflix Watch is not worthy to buy. If this commercial was not for April Fool’s day, then I would buy the Netflix Watch.

    It's an interesting concept, but I know that there would be multiple people willing to buy the Netflix Watch just because of how are society is today. I'm willing to bet that there are people that wish the commercial wasn't just an April Fool's day joke.

Wiener Stampede

In this Heinz condiments commercial, aired during the Super Bowl this past year, a group of dachshunds are shown in hot dog costumes running towards humans in Heinz ketchup and mustard costumes who end up catching the dogs as they leap into the humans’ arms and lick their faces. This commercial is a specific appeal to pathos as the dogs are dressed up and are meant to be cute. The phrase at the end of the commercial is “it’s hard to resist great taste” and this is stated while the dogs are licking the humans implying that the dogs like Heinz and that humans should buy it as well because the cute dogs in costumes did.

Marilyn Monroe's Shampoo

While browsing on Google I found an old advertisement.  The ad was for Lustre-Crème Shampoo. It featured Marilyn Monroe, known for her beauteous looks and her parts in different movies. One of her movies was Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. Lustre-Crème was attempting to sell their shampoo through the use of fallacies. By saying that Marilyn Monroe that tells you nothing about the actual product: it simply attracts you to the pretty face in the picture. Using this as an argument of why someone should buy your product is quite illogical. Just because Marilyn Monroe uses it doesn’t provide assurance of its abilities. They attempt using snob appeal by trying to make the audience believe that they could be like Marilyn Monroe if they use the same product as her. They use appeal to illegitimate authority by using Marilyn Monroe to promote their product. Although she herself is a customer, this is still rather irrelevant. She herself has no type of expertise in hair products and knows nothing t...

Weight of Glory

In Mr. Cline's class a few weeks ago. We took the day off in a way from our normal classes. Instead of continuing to read the books we were assigned and discussing them, he read us the sermon by C.S Lewis "The Weight of Glory." Its a long sermon, but one worth reading. It is about the confusion many people have on the topic of what we desire the most. He explains after much background information, that we all desire true happiness. And through that happiness, we long for heaven, our true home that we were designed for. He explains that glory is not what many people think of as being "famous" in heaven. But more that we are honored by our Lord and Father. For it to be like the scripture passage "Well done, good and faithful servant." C.S Lewis does a fantastic job at being persuasive here, and if read by the right person aloud, can have an excellent effect. He clears up lots of points that people bring up that are not true. Such as the point of glory...
