Online Persona Role Play: Advertisement Analysis

As a hard-working, self-respecting woman in America I am somewhat confused..for a lack of a better term. These women depicted in this ad are animals, clawing, diving, and climbing their way all over this man, who, despite his weak attempts to weave his way out of the crowd of women, is basking in glory due to the fact that he is covered in women scantily dressed and literally "clawing" for his attention. While the overall ambiance of the male figure in this ad could be analyzed I would like to focus my attention on the young ladies depicted in this advertisement.

Through this ad I am reminded of the movie Mean Girls, in which high school girls literally end up kicking, clawing, tackling, and fighting each other over status or reputation. This is what is happening in this ad. Their animalistic persona created gives them a shallow sense of character with a lack of self-respect. Who would want to dive onto the ground to fight for a man, who knows absolutely nothing about you..nor necessarily cares?

Although it is this company's purpose to attract a specific target market of men to their product, they are in turn, degrading women by giving them unrealistic qualities and stereotypes. Men who are attracted to this ad believe the fact that this spray will attract women to them as if they need them to feel complete in life. It is not good enough for a man to get to know one women who is attracted to him for his personality, but he now needs a multitude of women to come charging at him to feel confident or good about himself. As long as they maintain good hygiene what's the need for them to drown themselves in the overpowering smell of cologne.

Where are the centers of activity in our community?

The annual fourth of July carnival is hugely popular among the community. For about four days the carnival takes place on the common, filling the grounds with rides, games, tents, and tables. The carnival can be heard from all over. There are cars parked all the way down the street and in the neighboring charter school parking lot. The sounds of the rides operating and then shrieks of children spinning around on them are a familiar sound i remember from the carnival. It attracts all ages and types of people.

My favorite ride has always been the zipper. When younger i remember that although i had always been fearless when it came to amusement park rides, this one ride, the zipper, i could not bring myself to go on. After finally building up the nerve to wait in the line and climb up into the rocking seat I closed my eyes the entire ride screaming with my friends as we were flipped and tossed around and around. Years later, my friends and I now visit the carnival every year for the sole purpose of riding the zipper.

At the front of the common is a memorial of veterans gave their life fighting for our country. A new memorial was put in last year after students at _______ High raised money for three soldiers who recently lost their life in combat overseas. This memorial is an important part of the town common symbolizing the bravery of the men who gave their lives as well as the respect our community has for them. On Veteran's Day November 11th, a service is held at the memorials remembering these troops and all others who are serving or have served their country.

St. Mary's church is across the street from the town commons and often from there you can hear the church bells ringing for church services or a wedding.
