POS EKSPRESS

As we can see, the argument by Pos (M) BHD on its Pos Ekspress service saying that "Dijamin Sampai Esok" which means the delivery will take only 1(ONE) day. Somehow, take a look at the 2nd picture:

BUT.... "ke destinasi terpilih sahaja".... that means only selected places will have that privilege. Well.... it is a Content Fallacy to me. The argument :"Dijamin Sampai Esok" was so eye catching but somehow, the main point: "ke destinasi terpilih sahaja" was so tiny. Spending some times analyzing the argument, you will find dubious premise.

This is what actually happened to me recently. A person posted out the item using Pos Ekspress, but somehow it took 4 days to reach me. Kuala Terengganu - not "destinasi terpilih"? 

SKIN

It was a very creative commercial as I can say. Good job Swatch! But, I don't really see what was the advertiser trying to convey. A Swatch watch in skin color? Or that's the new watch from Swatch which is just the time showing parts that is wearable onto the wrist. It will be a bad arguments to me, which i consider it as a Content Fallacy. Different people will have different perception when they look at this commercial.

SNOWING~~~~

I was wondering what is this commercial all about until the end..... "Get free coffee for the rest of the year". Alright it is a claim on getting free coffee. But what caught my attention is the company under the right corner, Statoil which is an oil and gas company. I would say it is a violating of principle of rational discussion under Relevance because I can't relate the coffee with an oil & gas company. I am still wondering what is this commercial all about besides feeling pity for that man.

:p It was a good commercial for someone who had a bad morning, i guess.

"misunderestimated"

«They misunderestimated me.»

- George W Bush , Bentonville, Ark., 
(Nov. 6, 2000)









Misunderestimated? I was trying to understand this vague sentence and wondering what does it means. The Mr. President was trying to say they "misunderstand" or "underestimated" him? Or may be BOTH? 
Well, George W. Bush is well known for his occasionally unconventional use of English! 
At least, Wikipedia is right about "Bushism". :) 

GOT Blackberry Prepaid 

GOT Life..... 

IMPLICIT CONCLUSION: "how can we get LIFE by getting a Blackberry Prepaid?" I supposed it was trying to say that by having a Blackberry, we can go online anytime, FACEBOOK, FLICKR, GOOGLE, EMAIL, MSN and much more, these are what people do nowadays which i guess it represents LIFE according to this advertisement. BUT, i am wondering how many people do all these in their daily life, for those who never did, they considered not having a life???

RIDES for "DIRTY BIT**ES"!

First time in my life seeing this kind of commercial with THAT word... 

www.autotrader.co.nz is a website where people upload the picture of the car that you are intended to sell. That is where trading and business going on. I understand that the advertiser is trying to be funny, or may be special in the way of advertising. But, that "dirty bitc**es" is not that appropriate after all. I would say, it is a Ridicule under Violating the Principle of Rational Discussion. The advertiser was making someone the butt of a joke in order to convince when everyone knows what that B word means, i bet.

i am a pieces....

Used to be crazy, so crazy about horoscopes. I even bought a book all about horoscope!

Now.... i realized... how VAGUE horoscopes are. I am a Pieces, check out the link:

I can't say everything that was said are TRUE about me, may be there was, but will it be just a coincidence? How true is a horoscope? There's no claim here, and there's no prove saying it is REAL... However, I did enjoy reading it. Heee....  ^....^

Is a Volvo S60 NAUGHTY???

Check this out: 

"NAUGHTY VOLVOS" , it should be a "SLANTERS" to me as it is a misleading use of language in order to catch the consumers' attention on this Volvo S60. Using a "naughty" to describe a car? Can't see what is the advertiser trying to say? Is it about the speed? the shape? the interior? the exterior? that was NAUGHTY? It was kind of confusing to me. But anyway, it's a nice car!!! No doubt about that! Such a nice red!!!

Who Are You VS Who You Are

Snapped this from a magazine! It's a SEIKO lady watch advertisement.

The quote: "It's your watch that tells most about who you are". I would consider this sentence as VAGUE! How can a watch tells someone who you are? Even it was MOST about who you are. I understand that the advertiser was trying to claim that by owning this SEIKO watch, would probably show your taste? lifestyle? or personality?

Well, what i can think of is that i would know that person can afford to buy that watch or that person likes that watch instead of seeing who that person is. :p

"FACT" ME...

The word "FACT ME" just caught my attention while i was watching this video. The video started so "sexily" when the girl said "I am looking for a car that can drive me sexy".... Then the salesman was trying to explain, that's when she said "fact me!" which she was asking the sales person to give her the facts of this Peugeot V308 when he recommends it.

I thought of "f*c* me" when she said that. I believe that you guys would understand what "f*c* me" means, it tends to bring a similar sound especially in that atmosphere in the commercial. This commercial is an attempt to convince how good is this Peugeot V308 but somehow, should i say it was violating the Principle of Rational Discussion. It is a concealing claim that are dubious by misleading use of language.
