Ad Buster

For this project, I chose to use an ad promoting diet pills.  I found this ad in a popular magazine with a famous celebrity endorsing this product; therefore, it is viewed by large amounts of women.  The ad shows Kim and Khloe Kardashian in a bikini looking beach ready with a big smile on their face promoting their product, Quick-Trim. This is something that most people strive to look like and happiness is always a good thing.  Quick-Trim is not a safe product and many women are now using it.  However, because of airbrushing and editing this picture, the female teen to adult audience, gets a sense of unattainable beauty and are harming their bodies by taking these unsafe diet pills.  Studies have shown that diet pills can cause serious health problems and in some cases, even death.  Popular magazines should not be exploiting such products.
