Pastor Matthew Sykes,
Saint’s Alive, Auckland- 1010
Subject: Regarding your complaint on our publishing, dated August, 12, 2015

Dear Mr. Sykes

I received a letter about your complaint on the advertisement placed in our newspaper, of a beauty salon Major Makeovers. The advertisement which showed the picture of Jesus Christ descending from the clouds, and the content was objectionable in your views and some of the other readers who have written to us about the advertisement. Pastor, you being the avid reader of our newspaper and also a valued client, please let me begin with apologising for the same and assuring you that these are not the views of our newspaper Blaze.

We personally apologize to you for the whole incident of advertisement by Major Makeovers that hurt your religious sentiments. Our team and office have already communicated to Major Makeover about the various feedbacks we received regarding the advertisement, we are working on how to resolve the situation. You’ve been a very valued client to us, and the newspaper’s intention was not to direct an insult towards the religious beliefs that you hold, but unknowingly if that has happened we apologise for the same.

The newspaper does not promote or degrade any religion at all. We assure you that the views portrayed in the advertisement do not personally belong to the newspaper. In fact freedom of speech in all its forms and manifestations is a fundamental and

    Ezra Levant wrote a piece for Maclean’s magazine analyzing what happened during the case between Beena Datt and McDonald’s hand washing policy. Although there have been remarkable stories that have been released by that particular company, they are also known for being controversial. In the past, Maclean’s has created negative conversation due to offensive magazine covers. Some inappropriate catchphrases that were used to grab people’s attention have been “Is god poison?” and “Lawyers are rats.” In one particular case an article that was released which was titled “The future belongs the Islam” sparked anger from the Canadian Islamic Congress. They filed complaints with the Canadian Human Rights Commission, British Columbia Human rights commission and the Ontario…

    The tone used to convey the message is a very serious one, as made evident by the stern expression on the male modeling for the picture, as well as the lack of color. The image does not ask any questions, instead choosing to instill its message with facts and a command, relying on the viewer to both use their logic to think about how their actions could impact others, and to listen to the advice given by the ad which comes from a trusted source. Through this analysis, one can gather that the advertisers are using logos and ethos to appeal to the viewer. When all this is considered, the message given through the straight, black and white font has a deeper impact,…

    The persuasive article, Why We Should Give A Fcuk About Advertising Standards by Clive Hamilton is critical of the advertising standards or lack thereof in the modern age and aims to persuade the readers to be in support of his argument that the ‘Fcuk’ (French Connection UK) campaign should be boycotted due to its explicit nature. Hamilton incorporated techniques such as a variation of language styles, inclusivity and emotive language to convince the Australian audience that censorship should be taken more seriously.…

    The onion Rhetorical

    With the use of criticism, this press release is used to satirize how advertisement is degrading to Americans, and to mock the ordeal methods used by marketers to sell products to consumers as absurd. By using obvious fictional fads, and somewhat surprisingly effective persuasive writing skills, this article is humorous and completely irrelevant. However with the correct use of persuasive writing techniques, mixed with irrelevant, and unrealistic factual information the authors create a humorous satirical scene.…

    Although having unhealthy food is quite valuable for many students, we should propose something that would benefit the school and the students. I recommend we start replacing unhealthy food like chips and soda pop with more nourishing food like yogurt or fruit juice. This would not only help having healthier food but also persuade students to eat healthy. Another way we can start the process of healthy food is through using the power of posters in which we can advertise about all the advantages of keeping a healthy yet effective food diet. If us grade nine students start eating healthier this would make us great role models for the younger students who would also want to eat food high in nutrients. By applying these methods the grade nine students will still be able to attend there adventure camp in spring every year and also exercise the benefits of eating much healthier.…

    Mckenna poses the issue on the current lack of comprehensive studies on modern rhetoric in advertising. Perhaps it’s due to its direct, image-based, anti-situational nature; advertising seems to explain itself and therefore makes it difficult to apply classic rhetorical methods to modern advertising. Mckenna attempts to bridge that gap by characterizing modern advertising as a form of epideictic rhetoric and expanding it to fit into modern context. His evidences are divided into two parts: how advertisings epideictic nature allows it to thrive and its effectiveness through religious connotations; at the same time drawing parallels with classic rhetoric and modern advertising.…

    Controversial ad

    • 1003 Words
    • 5 Pages

    Advertisements are a specific kind of media which have the aim to sell an idea or a product to the audience they are directed at. Very often, this idea or product is not sold in a direct way but through the use of a metaphor or another stylistic device. This leaves the reader a lot of room for interpretation about what the idea behind the advertisement is. Often, depending on the cultural background/context of the reader, the interpretation can be very different. In the ad that will be analyzed in this response, two main groups might have different interpretations of the message of the ad. One of these groups is non-religious people, and the other one is religious people. The ad that will be discussed is a poster or picture by “Antonio Federici Gelato Italiano”. The company produced this specific ad, which was then banned for being too offensive. This already shows that there will be a group for which the ad is too offensive, but for other people who will have a different interpretation it won’t. Using the big 5 tools of analysis, will give a quite general idea of the meaning of the ad, and this idea will be close to the one in the mind of non-religious people, however for a religious audience there will be more to it.…

    In a country with different sects and religious beliefs, any kind of freedom of expression that might insult others, may lead to destabilization as we have witnessed in Paris 2015. Charlie Hebdo, a political French magazine, has caused instability in Paris due to its publishing. It isn’t the first time the magazine insults a part, whether Islam, Catholicism, Judaism, etc. This magazine, which made jokes about Islamic Leaders and Prophet Mohammad, forced two men to attack the offices of Charlie Hebdo, killing 12 people and injuring 11. The protests occurred in many Islamic countries, embassies were attacked and other terrorist attacks were planned. Phrases such as #JeSuisCharlie or #JeSuisMohammad were spread all over the social media which created more frustrations among people. This tragic event that shocked the world, highlighted that the materials safeguarded by librarians hold powerful meanings to people and can move them to violence. Peter Hart, communications director of the National Coalition Against Censorship: “Remember what happened in Paris, we have to be extra careful to not do anything that could provoke that kind of vicious and despicable attack.” Peet, 2015 (p.12). What may be a joke for a party, can be an insult to another, especially religious. That’s why it is important to choose the right phrases and cartoons to publish to avoid…
