media campaign

I think commercials can be really effective advertisement and media campaigns.  A lot of them advertise products but others sometimes are just meant to send a message to the viewers. For instance, the anti-tobacco comercials are meant to be funny but also make people realize that chewing tobacco is very dumb and just because you turn 18, that shouldn't make it ok to do. I think it's effective because they 'compare tobacco to a popsickle filled with shards of glass and that it's unsafe to eat unless you're over 18 but really it's still not ok.  Advertising plays a role in what you buy because it makes you think about the product and either gives you a good description of it or bad.
