Online Ad

Sex sells pretty much everything, and this “Colt 45” advertisement proves it. At first glance the women in her bikini was the first thing that stood out to me, then I was interested by the classic colt 45 cans, next the board game “Bottoms up” and I instantly I assumed the ad was not only trying to be sexy but funny, but after doing a little research I found out that “Bottoms Up” was a real board game that Colt 45 came up with. From what I found it was an adult drinking game with actions cards such as, “Obey any wish or request of the player on your right.” And “Explain to other players why you think that sex before marriage is a necessity” which fun but, apparently male players should play full dressed while female players should play in there bikinis, which clearly makes this ad appeal to men.

The desire this ad it appealing to is the desire of adventure and sex. This photo accomplish that by using the beautiful women playing adult board game while having a beer with a fully clothed man, and the desire for adventure comes into play because the board game they are play is a very sexual. And the warrant this ad is making that if you drink Colt 45 you can be playing sexual adult games with women in bikinis.

This ad’s intended audience for this ad is men and possibly women but mainly targeted towards men from ages of 16-25 years old. I say this because they are playing a board game, which is usually a thing younger people do, even though the game is intended for adults, it appealing to both older and younger audiences.

elements of argument

Recently I was producing music with Andy who is a friend of mine, who has always been a very talented musician but just started to getting in to the production side of it and he use’s Pro Tools 8 to produce his music, but we were at my house and I use Logic 9 Pro. So as the session progressed he kept pointing out reasons why Pro Tools 8 is way better then Logic 9, And the first claim he presented was that Pro Tools is much better because the lay out was much easier to work with and everything was right where it needed to be. So I quickly replied stating that’s clearly just a preference because I feel the same way about Logic. After I said that he quickly replied with an ignorant tone well there’s a reason why Pro Tools is the industry standard, making the assumption that just because it’s the industry standard it makes it better then all other recording software. So I mentioned although its considered the industry standard, I believe logic is better for the creative side of making music, while Pro Tools is better for the recording and editing. Which I believe strengthened my argument because at the time we were making music not recording it, so I believe developed some creditability for my argument because i had a understanding what Pro Tools was capable of and what Logic was capable of so it showed I had some knowledge of both programs. So as the argument continued we both kept giving reason why we believe one was better then the other, but now looking back on the argument we were both just defending ourselves and what program we use, with hardly any evidence and mainly just reason why we prefer that program. And nether of us ever really establish much credibility  because nether of us really knew to much about the other program, so that was a huge weakness in both of our arguments.
