Mountain Dew
After I watched the Mountain Dew ad, I immediately thought about how many guys would think, “Cool.” Most high school or college guys probably will not be as excited about it, but my 8th grader brother would definitely click it and go into the Mountain Dew world to choose a new flavor. The advertisement attempts to take advantage of the video game obsession. With Playstation 3 and Xbox now allowing for live connections with player from all over the world, the addiction is only growing. When South Park makes an episode about an issue, you know it’s gotten serious. After watching the Mountain Dew ad, the next South Park episode focused on the Guitar Hero addiction and compared it to heroin.
The Mountain Dew ad did not interest me because I do not enjoy virtual world video games. I like interactive games such as anything racing, Mario party, or Guitar Hero. The ad obviously targeted the male audience. The main character in the ad was a male and the video gaming theme does not usually attract the female population. The Ad reinforced the gaming obsession that exists within society. Preceding my viewing of South Park, the Ad only seems to fuel the addiction.
