This is an advertisement in Germany against smoking and I thought it was a very smart and creative way to get the message across. The lungs are made so people can dispose their cigarettes after they have smoked them, while also displaying the possible dangers they can cause. If this doesn't make people stop smoking, I don't know what will.
The Jeremy Lin-Mint milkshake is the newest shake you can buy in New York City for the Shake Shack food-chain. Jeremy Lin has gained so much attention around the world for his brilliant play for the New York Knicks in the past two weeks. His overnight celebrity status has brought hope to people all over the world in more areas than just basketball because he climbed his way from an underdog to a leading scorer.
The ingredients of the shake contain chocolate and mint cookies blended with ice cream to make a delicious, minty beverage. The craze doesn't just stop at shakes, there are other items like the "Lin-burger" and "Lings" which are Asian-spiced wings. They have also gone as far to concoct a beverage called "Lintinis". He's become a houshold name around the world in just two weeks!
Using a celebrity like Jeremy Lin is a good idea because his name and reputation have become so popular. Advertising while using a celebrity is a good idea because everyone knows who that person is and wants to buy products that are associated with them.
"It's Halftime in America. And our second half is about to begin. All that matters now is looking ahead and finding a way forward."
I agree completely with what Clint said in this ad I truly believe America has had to endure so much in the last couple of years and I truly believe that this country will stand tall and be on its feet again and moving forward. Things may get worse in the next couple of years but a lot of times you have to hit rock bottom to bounce back and be at your best. This country has been through many hardships, one after the other, but we've always found a way to come back, never allowing ourselves to stay down. Clint was right, our second half is about to begin. This commercial reached all audiences because regardless of you politics beliefs people can agree that this is indeed America's halftime and we are ready to progress.
Watching this commercial gave me chills and I remember watching it a couple times the day after the Superbowl. It gives me hope and satisfaction and Clint Eastwood has always been a tough guy, definitely the right guy for the commercial.
