(8,155 posts)And are right only for all the wrong reasons. In other words, the literal rhetoric is true but the symbolic rhetoric says just the opposite.
For instance, what is superimposing the image of a Google search over the mouth of a woman doing other than furthering the rhetoric that women can't speak? And why is only the infant of color the one whose future profession is portrayed? And why do we have to think of an animal as being another animal in order to feel bad for its plight?
I really truly hate most ad campaigns, especially ones which claim to be on "social issues," because they play on our emotions by using whatever stupid image they think might make us react when in actuality they're just furthering stereotypes and ignorance through empty philosophy.
Is the only thing holding someone back from donating to needy children not seeing that specific ad of the poor third world child in the bottom of their grocery cart? I find that pretty doubtful. I think the ad campaigns do more to feed our egos, by making us believe we're doing something when we are not, than to actually make change.
