The Blog That Was Supposed to be an Essay

The advertisement I chose to analyze was an Audi commercial.

1. The audience for this advertisement was both feminists and meninists across America.  I felt there was a strong gender rivalry throughout the ad.  It was essentially about the 2016 USA federal election so the audience also has to be able to vote (over the age of 18).  Also the two main actors were white so it's fair to say their audience is mostly aimed at Caucasian citizens (because really it was the white people who voted in the wrong president).

2. I'd say this is a populist advertisement because it applied to majority of USA citizens.  It was saying it's worth it to fight for what you believe in (or who you believe in). Every of age citizen has the right to vote.  Whether they were voting for Trump or Hillary, they was someone in there fighting for your candidate. (Thus making it a populist ad).

3. To be honest I don't know specifics about the car they were selling, but I didn't need that knowledge to understand this ad.  All you need is the freaking news channel and know about the (at the time) up-coming presidential debates.  This will help you understand the meaning because the ad isn't about fighting over a car- it's about fighting for the president you want.

4. This advertisement can manipulate you into buying this vehicle if you feel strongly towards a certain candidate or even if you aren't American and believe voting is important.  It can make you think that simply by buying this car, you're a better citizen and working to help your country and defend your beliefs.

5. This advertisement is actually about the USA presidential campaign that happened last fall.  The ad came out shortly before it was time to vote.  At the beginning, it shows a messy floor with vote 2016 pins on the floor.  Some were red and some were blue.  Everything in the room had been destroyed from a fight between two people who were fighting over who should be the driver.  At the end it said choose your driver (of your country) wisely.  Also, this ad tells us that American culture can be destructive at times.  And I'll tel ya, it was certainly a blood bath after the election.
