Too far too late

Two man standing in front.One with the truck while the other one with a car


As we sit on the big comfy couch, getting our snacks ready for the movie or the show, then
commercials pop out and the whole excitement from the show is gone down the drain.
Commercials’ purpose is to sell their products, but some can be really weird, good or horrible.
Some commercials take things too far when presenting their products. Recently there was a
commercial for a car company that was trying to sell their trucks. The commercial was
comparing two photos, one with a guy in front of a sliver car and the other was of the same
person except the vehicle was changed to a red truck. Groups of people were asked who was
more handsome, the guy with the truck or the guy with the car. This hurt many male audiences
who were watching this commercial, same thing to women, if there was a commercial about
how you look whether if you are pretty, handsome or whatever, all of us would get hurt. Same
thing applies if a commercial has some racism thing, we would get hurt. This car commercial
has hurt the male audiences even if though its target was the male audience which is ironic.
This commercial questions what is handsome, and it questions if material possessions really
make a man more handsome.
What I think is that it doesn’t matter? Isn’t it better if you find a person you like that has a
better personality than any other guy you met before? It doesn’t matter how this person looks
or what they have. It matters how people act and respect each other. This commercial is saying
that if you have this item you will look better then you do.  I go against this, I don’t agree with
how this company presents their product and I don’t agree with the way they try to bring young
and old male audiences to buy this products to become more appealing towards society. I
believe what makes a man handsome is there personality not there looks or the materials they
have. Commercials have gone too far and it is too late to fix this so audiences will have to keep
watching things like this.
