This commercial is advertising the beverage Pepsi. It hardly makes sense though, since there is a naked man and woman standing on top of a building naked and leaning up against each other. The slogan Pepsi is using is ‘in the raw.’ And the woman is holding a bottle of Pepsi in her hand with ‘Raw’ written. On the back of the woman’s back ‘Do what comes naturally’ is written. When something is raw it is usually in its natural form. Since there is a naked woman and man touching in the ad, it shows that there was some sort of sexual intimacy between the two of them. Ultimately, ‘Do what comes naturally’ is referring to drinking Pepsi and sexual intimacy; which means that drinking Pepsi should come as naturally as being sexually involved with someone. Also, that if you drink Pepsi you should be sexually involved with someone. However, two naked people standing on top of a building in a very busy city is far from natural.

This ad shows a man and a woman laughing and holding each other. The woman is in a bathing suit while the man has a shirt on. They both appear to look like they have been swimming. The way they are presented suggests that they are intimately involved. The commercial is for Jose Cuervo and the ad says “pursue your daydreams”; Daydreams that involved being sexually involved with someone. If you drink Jose Cuervo then you will have the same experiences as the people shown in the advertisement. It also says ‘Vive Cuervo’, which means live Cuervo. This advertisement tells society that in order to have a good time and be involved with someone else you must drink Jose Cuervo; in order to be happy and to truly live you must drink Jose Cuervo.

This song talks about how the artist found the one person that she can let her guard down for. She never thought that this would happen to her, because of the relationship she witnessed as a child between her parents. It just shows how much the relationships that surround you while you grow up can affect you.

The second source is a Dolce and Gabbana ad:
There is a woman dressed in this designer clothing, laying ont he ground with a man above her who is fixated on her. She is the center of the photograph and there are also men that are surrounding her. This ad suggests to women that if they purchase Dolce and Gabbana items, men will be more attracted to you and give you the attention that you want. It seems as if all the men in the picture are infatuated with her.
