Ad Buster

The ad buster that i envision incorporating into my third essay has to be something that I'm both interested in and find funny. I have multiple ideas of an ad but its hard picking just one to write a six page essay on. My first idea of an ad buster was to photoshop Dez Bryant's face onto the cover of Motherhood Magazine. If you're not familiar with the recent Dez Bryant scandal here you go. In the off season after the 2011 NFL season Dez Bryant allegedly "beat up his mom". I dont know if this was just a desperate mom thats trying to squeeze every penny out of her superstar son, or if its an actual true story. Either way I think you catch my drift of why you would put Dez Bryant's face on the front of Motherhood magazine for an ad buster. 

My second idea was one that has a much smaller topic so i dont know if there would be enough to write about to include into my paper. But it has to do with Florida's utility player Trey Burton. Although he is not a 'superstar' for the Gators he has had a couple games that have mad his name a representable one. He went to my high school back in Venice, FL and was our starting quarterback, and even though he went to the same high school as me, I am still not a fan (not to mention hes my girlfriends cousin too). All throughout high school he was the "Golden Boy". He could do no wrong. I remember his senior year he had 6 classes and all of the classes were taught by football coaches, so you do the math. As he transformed into a Florida Gator he started carrying this Tim Tebow religious mentality and it pisses me off. First off, you weren't that religious in high school and never boasted about god on Facebook, and now ever since you're a 'Big Shot' my news feed is littered with his obnoxious religious antics about how he is so grateful for blessing his beloved Gators. I didn't mean to be rude, im a religious person myself but Trey you have to cool your jets on the religious stuff, especially after i found out about a month ago that you are having a premarital baby! So somehow id love to create an ad to incorporate that somehow.

Mark Cuban Commercial

Mark Cuban who many people know as one of the most successful team owners in all of sports (own the Dallas Mavericks) stars in a sketchers commercial acting as a spokesperson for there new "relaxed fit" shoes. He starts off the commercial by attacking a small group of people that are called Hipsters by making fun of there skinny jeans and man scarf that the guy is waring in the commercial. First of all I have no idea why sketchers would think this is a creative, or funny idea because attacking a small group of people and how they dress is not going to convince viewers to buy your shoes. Second of all, I have no idea why they would pick Mark Cuban of all people to be the spokesperson for their commercial. I mean he is very successful dont get me wrong but I can think of many other sports figures that I would pick to represent my company other than Mark Cuban. He seems like a super nice guy who can get along with almost anyone, and in the commercial they put him as a character who is making fun of someone for how they dress . Another thing is, Mark Cuban is worth 2.5 billion dollars so i can guarantee you that he isn't walking around his office or the streets wearing the new relaxed fit Sketchers, thats for damn sure. In my opinion this is a stupid commercial and did not convince me one bit to buy a pair of sketchers. (not that i would anyways)

The underlying battle in the film "Greenstreet hooligans" is the battle between two football clubs in London and the fight between the two teams fan base. In Europe soccer is the royal sport, thats what everyone grows up playing and watching so the two teams fans are pretty crazy. Each team has there own 'gang' of fans that will take everything to the next level and start fights with the other teams gangs for no reason, just strictly for the love for their team. I mean these gangs are full of all of the same people (London natives) and there killing each other just because of a meer game of soccer. I mean I've seen some pretty intense fans in the United States, that will do almost anything to insure their team a victory, but the degree these fans take it too is nuts.
