Entry #3 - Slanted Commercial

So as I'm reading about slanted news and bias; one thing kept popping into my head. Have you seen the new reebok commercials lately? If you haven't take a look at this clip from youtube.

Reeboks commercial featuring JJ Watt & Ronda Rousey training in reeboks new Z Pump Fusion; it makes you think that you can train like they do, and some might even feel inspired to try some of the things that they are doing in the commercial without seeking professional help. What we have to remember here is that they are trained professionals and they have a reason of wearing reeboks products. Ronda Rousey is the UFC women's bantamweight champion, and JJ Watt is a NFL player. They both stand at the peak of there sport and put their stamp of approval on these products. The question is do they really believe that this is the #1 product out there? Maybe or maybe not. The only way to tell is to drive by their house and see what type of shoe they come out wearing. I've worked with a lot of professional athletes, some of them wear their sponsors product and some don't. Some of them feel like their's better products out there and some just use what they're given. But, anytime they are put in front of a camera they are sure to be wearing their sponsored product. Its all about the money, people will use it if you pay for it, but it doesn't mean they would go out and buy it if they had a choice and had to pay full price for it. In my opinion this is slanted because some people are representing products that they themselves don't really use or like. The commercial makes you want to buy their product; it makes you think you that the product itself is gonna make you faster or stronger when it doesn't. If you knew someone didn't wear a certain product that their endorsing would you buy it? We shouldn't buy products because someone says they work, instead lets try them on for ourselves and see how they make us feel. Remember, next time you see a commercial don't immediately assume that it does what they imply that it can do.
