The Trouble With Advertisements Nowadays

The one thing we can't escape from nowadays is advertising. We see adverts in papers, magazines, shops and in huge bill-boards beside the road. The purpose is to persuade us to buy a that product. The trouble with it is that they don't appeal to our common sense. For cosmetics adverts, the maker is trying to say that any girl who uses the cream, will become as beautiful as the girl on it. Some also have photos of people working in schools thus justifying that the product is scientifically proved. Imagine!
