Blog 3

First and foremost is the video that I found on youtube.com:





The information that conveyed in this ad that is true is the statistics that the announcer reads off though a little out dated and the actual spelling of the word. He also tells one of the many ways in which one can contract Gonorrhea. I believe that the age group this ad is targeted towards are adolescents and young adults. I believe that this commercial portrays this message in comedic yet educational manner in which it is trying to make the audience viewing it think. I do not think it is effective in that the youth and young adult population need something more shocking and less funny to convey the needed information to be able to retain and remember. I feel that the media plays a huge role in how we view STDs and STIs and I believe that through a broader scope in the type of ads as well as the number show they may very well be able to get the information out to the public in an effective manner.
