These two images are clearly sending multiple messages to all those who see the ads. The most bombarded humans with this kind of ads are the kids. I say this because they are always aware of what is on the T.V, what new toy is in stores and now days what is also going on the world wide web (www)!!! It is necessary to say that the main message being transmitted through this pictures is that it is normal to be fat because if someone like Barbie is, why not yourself. Or that you are alright if you are at home watching T.V having a few extra pounds because if Superman is, you might as well do the same thing. One very important fact that we can all see is that very popular toys are being use. Why? For the only reason that is to grab the children's attention 100%. Looking at this ad from a very different perspective I can say that the contribution of this kind of ads are causing a huge pressure on young people to be thin. Moreover, the side effect of this can become extremely negative by creating a eating disorder in all kids. For the only reason that they don't want to look fat and as a result they don't want to ingest food into their bodies because it makes them fat! My final thoughts about this is that we need to be very careful with what we show on the media. Therefore if we want to have good healthy kids we need to be aware of what kind of ads and images we show to them because its not just the picture but, the subliminal message.
