EPT Essay

     What is advertisement? There are many ways to advertise. Some people use simple commercials to advertise products and let people know that it is out there and suitable in the market. Some companies use billboards and signs on buses to get the word out. In other words it is using public transportation as a way of advertisement. We can see it everyday. Most of the time when companies want something sold immediately they use a celebrity. When people see a celebrity in a commercial advertising a product, they automatically thinks that it is a good product since that individual uses it. Though this often misleads us. Even though the celebrities advertise it, they may not even like it at all. They only do these type of  commercials for one reason, money. So why should we waste our money on something that is "loved" by a celebrity when it could be a false judgement. I believe that their type of advertisement should not be allowed.

     A lot of time, products are being advertised by well known celebrities to convince the viewers to buy whatever a company wants sold. Most of the time the celebrity themselves don't even like the product yet they try to convince others to buy it for many reasons. One reason is so that the companies may receive a lot of money from viewers all over the country. Another reason is so that the celebrity themselves may receive millions of dollars over that one commercial. In this case, it is unfair that a celebrity is advertising for their own benefit. They mislead the viewers trying to watch t.v. This sometimes leads people losing money over false hopes.
     Some people might often think that it is a false statement, that the celebrities themselves love whatever it is they're trying to put on the market. At times the viewer is often blamed for trying to buy whatever it is that convinced them to buy something from an unreliable source. Some people think it is right for the people to try out the product before it is ever advertised. They also believe that it is the viewer's fault for falling into the advertisers trap and that there is no one to blame. There are many reasons why they're wrong. First, why should we even by something that is falsely advertised just for some company to get money. It shouldn't be advertised overall if the celebrity doesn't even use or own whatever it is being sold.
     Once again, this type of advertisement shouldn't be allowed because it isn't fair sharing false advertisement to the public if it isn't true.
