UA&P - I am STRONG: SPANK'd

Jewelz says...

I am also an active blogger at SPANK'd. It is a blog created to turn passive audiences in to active ones by being able to point out unethical ads.

Definition:

SPANK (spăngk)
v., SPANK'd, spank·ing, spanks.
To discipline an ad because of it’s unethical content.

There are many advertisements that are unethical, yet as audiences, we just allow the ad to pass us by. The long term effect of passive viewing of unethical ads can be very harmful. It can desensitize us and sooner or later we would be accepting unethical ads as a norm. As audiences, we should have a critical eye on what we listen to, what we watch on TV and what we see on the billboards all around us. If there is something wrong with what we see, we should step up and act upon ads that do not promote values.

Please visit http://ethicaladvertising.blogspot.com to read more about SPANK'd. In the meantime, let me share with you one of my favorite ads by Coke.

This is an example of a good ad.

Something I want to ask... Why do you think it's important to be critical of what you watch? What are some good ads and bad ads you know?
