Analysis of Buydehydratedwater.com

The name of the sponsor is clearly indicated, but we have never heard of it. No one in the company has a degree; if they had one, they would have mentioned it. We have a link to know how to contact this company, but we don’t know who we have to reach. It could be a wrong number and we could talk to someone that doesn’t know about dehydrated water. It is not a reliable source because in the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ), the questions and the answers are weirdly answered. For example :
``Question : "How do I spit it out if I don't like it?"
Response: Simply exhale and the dehydrated water will leave your body.``

Also, this picture reveals that it is not a real site. They are supposed to purify water with chemical supplies. But, is this picture supposed to represent chemistry?

The website is not well designed because the font is big in the middle of the page and smaller on the sides. The writtings are basically different in the media icon. This site looks like a blog instead of a real site. It was created to inform people about the special water they sell. They really want us to buy water and to convince us, because they are ready to send us free sample. The company is looking for employees and they are supposed only to sell the product instead of looking for people. Also, the advantages they offer are very funny and that make us think it is not a real company. Here are some examples of funny advantages :

``-Free transportation to work by mule
-Ketchup packets from McDonalds
-Usage of our customers' credit cards
-Unlimited toilet paper
-Air conditioned office (Winter months only)
-Unlimited Stress
-Napkins from Del Taco
-Straws from 7-Eleven
-Free paper clips
-Harassment of all sorts``

Finally, this site is not a good site for many reasons all mentioned above.

Clones-R-Us Analyzis

On this website, the name of the author is not identified, and neither are the sponsors. We don’t know the qualifications of the author or the effects the sponsors may have on the product. Therefore, we cannot certify that this website is a reliable source. Even though the site is visually well constructed, it provides information and statistics for which we don’t have any sources. The last update date is not provided by the author and the guestbook entries end in 2001. A post in the About Us section indicates us that “The content is out of date; in fact - incredibly - some of the concepts in the website, like the cloning of pet cats, have actually come true.” In conclusion, we don’t know much about the author and his motives, but this site seems like a well organized hoax to revive the debate about advanced medical cloning technologies. Fortunately, in the About Us section, the author says: “As you've hopefully realized, this site is a spoof site, which simulates one possible ramification from advances in cloning science. “

Clone-R-Us website analyse

The author of this website is one of the founders of Vetsin Productions, a web development company in Cebu City, Philippines. The link giving on the site is a fake one, so the author of the site does not seem to be qualified nor a reputable source because when we press on the link it gives us a red page written on it just Vetsin and nothing else. We didn’t see in the majority of the website spelling or grammatical mistakes. The content of the website isn’t appropriate for a research but is well designed so you can find easily the information you seek. The website itself says that the information is out of date in the remarks. This site is a comedy of a website because no serious company will consider selling clones with the present laws and you can see that in the guestbook everyone takes this website as a joke.

website analysis

The buydehydratedwater.com website is clearly a hoax for many reasons. First of all, the author’s name is not stated and they are not talking about him. Neither is there any link to any possible information about the author or his sponsor. There is no information about the time or the date at which the site was last updated. A small part of the website is dedicated to get a free sample. It is clearly a fake since they are not checking if the information you gave them is true. But, even if we do not have many information, we know that the company headquarter is situated in Los Angeles in the United States. The main objective of the website is obviously not to inform the public, but to make profit by selling us dehydrated water. There are clearly some false informations like the fact that you can not dehydrate water. Even thought the website has a lot of errors and disadvantages, they have been able to make a beautiful and attractive background that incite the consumers to buy their product.

ANALYZING COMMERCIALS

Molson Beer

The ad tells the story of a young man giving a speech during a conference about how proud he is to be Canadian. He counters the main Canadian stereotypes by saying that he doesn’t live in an igloo; he’s not a lumberjack, etc. There is no dialogue; in fact it is a very passionate and persuasive monologue. There is no narrator at all. The tone of the ad is humorous because the purpose of the ad is not to inform people about a serious product, but more to entertain. You drink beer when you want to have a good time. The music gives a serious tone to the ad; it feels more intense and powerful than it really is. There is a big close-up of the man at the beginning of the ad to show the convincing emotion on his face. There is also a low-angle to emphasize the fact that Canadians speak English and French. There are long-shots to show the images on the big screen; because they have more impact. The camera work is really interesting in general for the reasons explained above. At the very end, there are big printed words: I AM CANADIAN. "Canadian" refers to the name of the beer and it has an important patriotic effect. The message demonstrates clearly that we should be proud to be Canadian, and that our beer is definitely the Molson Canadian. They try to convince us and we think they really succeed because we are definitely going to drink a few beers after class!

Funding Arts

Funding for the Arts (Canada)

Michel Rivard, a francophone artist, goes to see the Prime Minister Stephen Harper to ask the government about giving financial help to the francophone artists. The different characters of the ad are talking to each other at the beginning and are screaming at each other at the end. A middle age male narrator is explaining the context and the final meaning of the advertising on an informative tone. A Quebecker song is used to make sense in this video and also to put some laugh on the viewers face. No particular special effects and printed words are used to influence the adult audience target. This advertising is meaning to show the poor budget state that the government Harper gives to our Canadian culture and we daresay that it will surely influence the audience about the way our Country is running.

The commercial about Molson Beer presents a guy making a presentation about his country. He elaborates about the differences in culture between USA and Canada like some assumption people make: he isn’t a lumberjack, he doesn’t live in an igloo and “z” is pronounced “zed” and not “zee”. The ad has a serious tone to it, like a theater scene (he is on a scene). The targeted audience is young adults that like Molson Canadian and people who are proud to be Canadian (Canadian Flag seen throughout the advertisement). The message in this ad is that Canada is usually the shadow of USA and that we too have our own culture and characteristics. The different camera angles give a dramatic feeling to the ad itself as well as the music that give off an important atmosphere to the advertisement.
