                            I think that we should boycott advertisements because just because some celebrity says that they use the product does not mean that it is guaranteed satisfaction. For instance the people that own the jaguar sport cars use David Beckham to promote their car but it does not necessarily guarantee that the car is really as great as they are persuading us into believing. They are just trying to fool us by using the famous football player David Beckham. Jozui is arguing that advertisers make us believe that celebrities use products or consume products to persuade us into buying them. She is suggesting that we should boycott this type of advertising. I agree with Jozui, the product may not even be good at all but because a celebrity gives a testimony we fall for the advertising and buy the product. The product can also be harmful without you even knowing it, but you trust the product because a celebrity has approved it. For example Coca-Cola is very harmful it is known to increase the risk for cancer, dehydration, bone damage, and many other medical conditions. But people ignore that fact because of the famous person advertising it.   

                 In this article it says “a tennis pro gets stamina from brand x cereal”. This might not even be true but because they are showing us that a celebrity uses it we believe that it is true. This might as well be false advertising. This is another reason why we should boycott to not be fooled anymore by these advertisers. We should boycott to help others too, if we start boycotting then other people will notice and they will also no longer be fooled. We see famous people advertising anything like food, cars, and even toothpaste. So by this we know that famous people would advertise anything for a little extra money. But honestly I can’t blame them, but that is why we should boycott to not let them do these advertisements.

               We should all tell our friends and family the reasons why we want to boycott so maybe they will join. Soon if we boycott, these advertisements may start to fade. Almost every famous advertisement has a famous person in them. They use the famous person just to catch our attention and persuade us.
