The subway commercial is clearly a DUBIOUS AUTHORITY fallacy,A figure of undeclared or unrelated expertise makes claims about something. Jared, is looked at as this celebrity figure and role model because he lost over 240 pounds. He then says he ate subway and he lost all the weight. I think he worked out, at less and went on many diets before he began to eat subway.240 pound doesn't just slide off from eating a couple of sandwiches. The subway commercials implies, that if you do in fact eat only subway, that you will lose the weight you want. This is clearly untrue. I tried the subway diet and i actually gained weight. Bastards.

The old spice commercial shows LL Cool J as a boy trying to pick up girls. He was smaller and he ran off in fear when one girl talks to him. The commercial is a BANDWAGON ARGUMENT (Peer Pressure). This fallacy plays on one’s natural desire to belong to a group and fear of being rejected, or left out. Later in the commercial he says, "That was me before old spice." clearly implying that once he put on this "magical deodorant" he became this big muscular rap super star..yea right.

midterm
love and loss

Love and Loss to me can be best described as intriguing. You get sucked in with the intrest of confusion. wondering what it is, how is it art, and sre all the materials used for this one piece. Artist Roy McMakin used a bench, wishing well, table, tree, and stoned letters to create the words love and loss. It makes a bold statement once you fully understand and figure it out completely. My first thought upon arriving on the sculpture layout was, "o.k. this is not art, this is a resting place." Even my friend stated, "is that a wishing well, thats been done before." Little did we know it was a wishing well and infact everything surrounding it was involved in the art work. We stepped away seeing the bright red and symbol twisting above the scence and wondered why that was even there. After reading the information stone, it was titled Love and Loss and when friends told us that everything was used as a letter. i looked up McMakin and seen that he was a furniture maker and artist of the everyday object in hte strange i sorta got it. My favorite part of it all was the tree. I figured in the spring when it bloomed it would be seen as beautiful and exampled love and romance. But, when i went in winter it was dead and unappealing. Basically seeing as love can be gone one day and blooming the next, Mcmakin made a great point with the tree. McMakin has a larger fan base on the west coast and works at Domestic/Furniture Domestic Architure in Seattle. He also has other pieces in the Seattle Olympic Sculpture Park.
