My favorite ad is kinda old but it is for AT&T.\u00a0 It’s set in a hospital and a patient is waiting to go into surgery and he asks how the surgeon performing his surgery is and the nurse’s response is, “he’s okay,” and the guy about to have surgery is like “excuse me what?”\u00a0 Then the surgeon comes in the room yelling, “Guess who just got reinstated?!” to someone else in the hallway as he walks into the room.\u00a0 He then looks at the patient and says, “well not officially” and then proceeds to ask him “Nervous?” to which he responds, “yeah me too” and then walks out of the room saying “Don’t worry about it. We’ll figure it out.” AT&T then starts talking about how “just okay is not okay” and they are the best network in the country and they have a new 5G network.\u00a0 I like this ad because I think it’s funny and I don’t ever get tired of seeing it.<\/p>\n
This ad makes me think of the Huff reading because although it is not really presenting statistics, at the end of the ad AT&T claims to be “America’s best wireless network according to America’s biggest test.”\u00a0 What is America’s biggest test?\u00a0 AT&T is not the only company to do this because somehow every mobile network company is able to claim that they have the best network that you want your phone to be on.\u00a0 Clearly, they are able to manipulate these claims by only advertising certain information.\u00a0 And, the ad ends with AT&T’s slogan, “More for your thing, that’s our thing,” and a picture of an award in the font of this slogan.\u00a0 This is a very generic picture but because there is an award image, it makes you think their claims have more merit than they actually do.<\/p>\n
