Ms. Kakutani’s Bananas for Rent has brought up an important issue in terms of the advertising industry. Advertising has been disguised as entertainment or popular art; at the same time, “it also make the public increasingly cynical about its role and function, which is to be dismissed readily and unthinkingly, as junk.” Who do think about the issue he discusses in her article?

I consider that the advertisements should bring some humorous to people because it can make people have a deeper impression for these advertisements. For me, there was a advertisement made me impressed very much. It was described a woman who played a role which was about the cholesterol, and she told people if you don’t buy their green tea, the woman would arround you. This advertisement always made me laugh. Therefore, I think the advertisement achieve its goal which made people impressed.

To me, advertisements could be a kind of art. It’s more like pop art or culture. Because our point of views or behaviors can be relate with ads or reflect by ads. Some ads make people laugh or touched. Those ads could be the topic witch people talking about all the time. Actually, there are some bad ads. However, I think that was depends on different point of view. And to me, I like the humor or funny ads. Those ads can make me relax and happy.

Good advertisement can make people impressed very much.To me, I really like the creative ads,they will always make me laugh also the proudcts to me are unforgettable. Therefore, I do agree ads are an art,don’t underestimates the ads. People who work on this must spend a lot of time to think how to make it funny and impress. Alough the ads only show few minutes, but it really worth to yake a look!!

I believed that advertisement influenced people a lot. We turned on TV and wached the program very often. Recently, more and more AD had other meanings except of promoting their products. Most of ADs were very touched and intersting. So, I think that the advertisement not only promoting but also show the real life for us.

There a lot of kinds of advertisement. Some are humorous, creative; however, some are low-class and not suitable for children. Since mass media has developed an important role in our daily life, we are deeply influenced by the programs and advertisements. However, when every advertisement competes with each other, there are many advertisement makers want to cause the audiences’ attention so that the advertisement become bolder and not suitable for children or teenagers. After all, there are lots of advertisement still good works which make people laugh, touched or impressed.

i think some ads are art but some are garbage. Some ads are so weird that i can not understand what it wants to express. But some ads are very meaningful and have the educational meaning.
But i do not like to be interruped by the ads when i am watching some excting movies or soap opera even though it is a great ads. -
Some ads can inspire someome to do something or buy something. I mean some ads are useful and deliver the messages to the public. However, some ads are very bad, they shouldn’t show on TV. Take an on-line game for example. In the ads, there is an eighteen-year-old girl with big breast and sit on the machine which can vibrate. Anf then she says,”不要走.”
and “殺很大.” Oh my boy, it’s such a stupid ad. How bad!! -
in fact, i don’t like to watch television. one of the reason is because i don’t like most of the ads. some of the ads are creative and funny, but some of them are kinda silly and low level. as for me, i hate watching all the ads about online games. most of them doesn’t make any sense. and the slogan they use are really stupid. A good ad should not make people think of sex or feel disgusting. and most of the online game ads make me feel in that way. so bad!

I think some advertisements are kind of art but some are junk. Some of them are humor and really show the characteristic of the items or activities to audiences. Even let us want to buy the items or want to join the activities. However, some of them make me confuse because I can’t understand what do they want to show and what kind of things they want to advertise. Totally, I don’t like to watch advertisements because they waste my time and I think they become more and more ridiculous.

Is advertisements art or garbage depends on everyone’s different point of views. Some people may think ads are annoyed and disturbing them while they are watching some programs; however, I consider advertisement is a kind of art. It’s not just a simple animation but like a gift, a surprise, you’ll never know what are inside the box and so do ads. Next time when you have a chance to take a look at one kind of advertisement carefully, you’ll notice that something is really amazing within your life!

To me, I think ads are the ways which could surely promote the productx. Some advertisements are kind of art but some are junk. I really like one of the ads which is about tea. The brand is “每朝.” I love this one since there is a character called “Miss Cholesterol.”The role she plays is the cutest role I have ever seen. But there are also some bad ads on the screen, such as “不要走and 殺很大.” I think there is no necessity to put these kinds of ads on TV. I think we should take it issue seriously.

I consider there’s no ads are garbage. Why those ads are shot? Let’s say ads, basically, are shot for business; some ads are for art, but it is really less. Maybe some ads are really stupid and so fool that many people think they should not put on TV. Why so serious? Come on, it just and ad! There are already so many difficulties in our life. Why do we have to judge an ad seriously when we though a hard day, go back home and sit on the sofa for a short rest. Some ads which you don’t like still have its value.

In my point of view, the commercials are arts as long as they are creative and inspiring and not associated with violence or materialize the female. The commercials which had been deeply concerned for kept showing women’s breast that I think they are definitely rubbish. On the other side, the commercials like zespri and the beverage tea which promotes it can reduce the cholesterol─“每朝健康” are creative and hilarious. Those original and artistic commercials makes me cannot but want to see them everyday.

I believe ads are some kind of art. Every ad was produced by a team, and everyone devoted himself in it. They are creative and interesting. There is no denying that how hard to finish one product. Also, it is true that some of the ads are meaningful but some are not. I prefer to see the meaningful one. Sometime it is really touching and impressed me a lot. On the other hand, I don’t really like some of the garbage ads. The slogan stucks in everyone’s head forever.

I think some of ads can inspire people to think more deep. Ads can be showed someone’s creation. A good ad can attract people and inspire people to care more about the world. I have seen a ad on TV which is about a car, a daughter grown up and worked away hometown. She seldom goes home because of her job. One day, she went home. She saw his father was waiting outside the train station. Her father waited with a bike and he wanted to picked her home just like they used to do that before. Her daughter was touched by her father, and she saw the sight of his father, then cried. I was really touched by this ad. I thiink this ad can inpire me to take care of my parents. I love my parents.

I love to enjoy the advertisement when watch TV. There many kind of ad on TV, I think a successful ad can make people a deep impression also the bad ad can, too. The different is the comments. I have seen many kinds of ads. I love an ad which is a beer ad. These entire series ad make me feel impressed. One of them is a person who is hypnotized by hypnotizer. The hypnotizer calls the person do anything, and the person do all his instruction. But when the hypnotizer wants to get his beer, the person holds it tie. When I saw it over, I feel it’s so cool! The idea makes me impressed.

Some people hate advertising because they think that’s pollution to our society, for it’s noisy and colorful papers. But for me, I think advertising is also one kind of art. Have you ever watched an ad at TV and felt really touch? I think a good ad can make people feel warm and happy. But if not, if the ad use too violent or sexual ingredients that will become the garbage to our society.

I think a good advertisement is touched and meaningful, recalling the beautiful memories in the bottom of heart. I remember a car advertisement, with the song “You’re always on my mind.” The advertisement is so touched that makes my mom sob. She thinks of her father, who insists to take her to school or go home, even though the weather rains cats and dogs. From the ad., I notice that how gentle the father’s love is. Not having splendid setting, exaggerated story, and vibrated music, the true story can touch and impress us!

Nowadays, there are many kinds of advertisement whether you think good or not. In my opinion, a good advertisement can affect the audience’s thinking. That is art. Art is created by artist. The advertisement also is created by someone. And the ad is sometime humor and creative. Recently, I love a ad that is from Nike. It say” I got the soul but I am not a soldier. ” It is really impressing to me. So I think the ad is art not garbage.

Every time I watch TV, I enjoy watching ad. In my opinion, ad is a kind of art. We can see the creativeness through the ad. The ad nowadays are totally different from the past. They were boring and direct, it’s easy to know what they want to recommend. However, it’s different now. The ad now are more and more creative and interesting. There are so many factors in an ad. So, I don’t think that is a garbage.

Advertising promotion in the society is a kind of commercial behavior, business man in order to earn their money should promote their products through communication facilities around us. Such as, TV, Radio, Magazines, Internet, and so on, and the material they use to attract us is base on our society’s conception. Nowadays, people complaining the advertising is going to far from the criterion, but have they ever think about who develop these problems out advertising companies or we audience ourselves.
