It didn't really show anything but a blue background with some letters. It was recalling the devices and saying anyone with one in was eligible for compensation. b.Its recalling a bad medicine creating distrust in the medical dept. therefore accidentally promoting an unhealthy habit of self-medicating which often leads to drug abuse. c.It would most likely make the average costumers think twice before going to a doctor and make them more likely to self-medicate. 2.The ad was for Dos Equis a.I was it online. I was a picture of the most interesting man in the world holding that brand of beer, captioned " I don't always drink but when I do I prefer Dos Equis" b.Its promoting the healthy habit of only drinking occasionally because he says "I don't always drink," c.If the actor promoting this beer is considered "the most interesting man in the world" then it probably makes costumers want to drink the same beer to be more like him. 3.The ad was for luckies smokes. a.It depicts Santa smoking a luckies cigarette with and all red background. b.Unhealthy habit of smoking. c.It would make the average customer think well if Santa is supposed to be really old and he's still smoking the smoking must be fine for me.
