Ads Kids Hate
Student Responses: In the introductory lecture to my class of college students, and whenever I gave a speech at high schools and middle schools, I would begin by asking everyone to write down 2 or 3 things which they thought were wrong with ads. Sometimes I asked them simply to identify their gender and age (F,17).This random and chaotic collection of opinions and dislikes (below) was gathered from these responses.
 | - Advertising now–a–days promotes too much sex. (F17)
- Sometimes advertising goes way overboard. It emphasizes on certain topics instead of important issues such as aids, violence etc. (F18)
- The wrongs with advertising are sometimes they can be so phony, or they try to sell their star spokesperson instead. They stopped informing us about the products and made into if the person selling it is not or as a good athlete the public will buy it. (F17)
