Ads are Distracting!!

Ever since this assignment I have noticed advertisements more and more. They used to be just those annoying useless commercials between tv shows that you never wanted to see. All they did is make you want to go out and spend your money on things that you didn't need. Don't get me wrong I still dislike commercials put now I see them differently. I break them down and try to understand every piece of them without realizing it. I always thought things were accidently placed in these ads but now I know everything is in there for a reason. I will find myself trying to figure out every little piece of these ads. I've actually noticed them other places, places I never knew had them. Whether it's driving down the road and the big billboards advertising things or when I am watching a movie and I see little things show up and I now know that they all have a purpose. Even in those movies! Who would have known that movies had advertisements. This paper made me see so much more. I don't know if it is necessarily all good though. It's very distracting especially when I am driving. There is one good thing about it though. Things that I wanted so badly before I see advertised and I just don't like the way they are portrayed or the ad doesn't do them justice so I just don't even care to have the thing I once wanted.
