Post 14

This is a parody of a Calvin Klein ad using all three of ethos, pathos, and logos. There is a large amount of exaggeration.

The ethos parody is that it has the authority of the "Calvin Klein" ad going for it. So this parody signafies that it has a large amount of importance.

It is just doing the exact opposite of the ad of Calvin Klein. In the regular ads, it shows a very alluring man that defines masculine beauty. This is totally opposite of that ad. This is kind of a repulsive man whom got some really hairy genes. The kind of disgusted experiance that you get from this is the pathos appeal.

The lothos is the logic in the parody it self. The text say's Reality then shows a picture of a hairy men. Kind of a back hand of saying to Calvin Klein to get real, if you put on this cologne you won't turn in to a hunk.

One of their arguements is exaggeration though. If they are talking about "reality," then I don't really believe that a decent amount of the population is as hairy as that men. It's just probobly the same percentage as very handsom men. (1% really hairy people, 1% really handsom people) As a parody, it totally took it to the extreme under the pretense of showing you something in the average. But that is what it is suppose to do, and in my opinion it did a good job of doing so.

I did this same picture, it’s hilarious. I actually do think a lot of men are this hairy, almost everyone I know is hairy like that haha. Maybe I just know overly hairy people for some reason. I think in reality, most middle aged men are that fat though, which is sad.
