This
Victorian Hearing ad got some heavy backlash after being released. This company that produces hearing aids had advertisements that featured a woman with a prawn resting on her ear and text that read “Hearing aids can be ugly”… “Ours are invisible." The insensitive ad, calling hearing aids ‘ugly’, offended and angered many people. I see this ad as unethical and insensitive towards the hearing impaired community. The ad was discriminatory and belittled people with
hearing disabilities. The negative message is a damaging one and people were
worried about young children with hearing disabilities seeing these ads because
it was hurtful and they didn’t want them to be affected.
This ad for Natan Jewelry Company was a part of a series of shocking
ads that demeaned women. This unethical ad features a man and a woman, in the
first still the woman has her legs crossed and the man is presenting a closed jewelry
box to her, the next still shows the women’s legs uncrossed in an open position
and the man has presented the jewelry to her. This ad is very disturbing and
offensive, it’s indicating that women will do anything for nice jewelry and the
sexual nature of the ad is horribly inappropriate and depicts women negatively.
This sporting ad by Reebok is very odd and not clever in the
least. The ad shows a portion of athletic wear worn by a man and text that
reads “Cheat on your girlfriend, not on your workout”. This unethical ad is
promoting cheating in relationships, whether they were trying to be humorous or
actually serious, it’s a bad joke and it should have never made it out to the
public. We see it again and again, advertising working against women and presenting
women in a bad light. In this ad women are being insulted and talked about as
if they don’t matter or have value, this ad is wrong
and
distasteful.
