Media and Literacy #4

Skittles commercials are created by the Skittles company. These commericals are funny, and bright colored which catches peoples attention. Some people may not see skittles commercials as funny as I do, they could see these commericals as dumb and dry. In this commerical it shows the skittle man where everything he touches turns to skittles and he talks asks, "What if you couldn't hold your new born baby", or "I shook a mans hand on the bus today, he will never see his family again". These are values and points represented in this message. It is making you feel bad or pity the skittle man and it will subconsciously make you think of skittles when you see these things and you will want them. This message is being sent out as an advertisement to convince people to buy skittles so they can make money.
