Media appreciation #4

1. The two adds that were shown are basically trying to tell us that we should use this type of gas because its better for our environment. The two bp adds are basically trying to make it seem as if this gas is harmless and its all we need when it probably isn't as great as it seems. The target audience is people who drive often and who use up a lot of gas. They are mainly targeting those who are into saving the environment and people who care about the pollution they cause while driving. The images that stuck to me the most was the image of the teenage girl showing how she really is and then showing what she's soposed to look like (blonde, blue eyed and pretty).

2. I honestly dont see a problem with the logo and the BP slogan. I dont really think its offending anyone and I just think people are over thinking these things too much. I dont really think BP was thinking about the disaster when they created the logo and the slogan so in my opinion i do belive its appropriate.

3. Although I do belive its wrong that BP would have profited over the oil spill, i dont think they should be made fun of. Bp and other oil companies are just doing what every other company in the world does, it does everything possible to make a profit. I think that oil companies should be able to promote as much as they want just like every other company and organization in the world.
