Five Friends

Five Friends is an ad that is persuading people to register to vote, so they can partake in the next presidential election on November 4, 2008. The creators of this ad used only celebrities to grab people's attention. At first, the celebrities weren't using words that were direct and to the point. Instead, they were using sarcasm. For example, they were saying things such as: "Please don't vote" and "Who cares, the Economy is In the Toilet." However later on, the various celebrities started getting to the point; saying that if you care about this or that, then “you” should vote. The ad had humor in it too. Humor was used so that the commercial wouldn't be dull and boring. They wanted the audience to stay in tune for the entire ad. The ad had the right amount of information that was convincing and influential that could get one to register. When watching this video, I felt that if I didn’t vote, then I didn’t care about America and the issues that also concerned me as a citizen. Therefore, personally to me, this commercial grabbed my attention and made sure that on November 4, I would be in a booth, voting.
