...Title of the Paper EFFECTIVENESS OF ASCI IN CONTROLLING ‘OBSCENE’ AND ‘MISLEADING’ ADVERTISEMENTS ON TELEVISION ABSTRACT The Advertising Standards Council of India (ASCI) is a self regulatory voluntary organization of the advertising industry established in 1985. ASCI and its Consumer Complaints Council (CCC) deals with the complaints received from Consumers and Industry, against advertisements which are considered as False, Misleading, Indecent, Illegal, leading to Unsafe practices, or Unfair to competition, and consequently in contravention of the ASCI Code for Self-Regulation in Advertising. As the Indian market has grown, the role of advertising as an important and legitimate means for the seller to awaken interest in his products or services has gained currency. But the debate on where one draws the line is something the industry is grappling with. As a self-regulatory voluntary organization of the Indian advertising industry, ASCI have an important role to play, often with limited powers. In 2010, 777 complaints had been received against 190 ads, of which 104 were upheld. In this research paper, researcher will study how effectively ASCI and CCC are dealing with advertisements which are obscene and misleading in nature. What are the criteria for calling an advertisement obscene or misleading? What procedure they follow when they receive any complaint against any advertisement? How much time they generally take to work on any complaint received? How serious industry...

...students Advertising Changes Advertisements are carefully designed so that each element helps sell a product. For example, a 1952 Maybelline makeup advertisement and a 2009 Max Factor makeup advertisement both used specific elements in ways designed to reach their audiences. The 1952 advertisement and the 2009 advertisement attempted to reach differing audiences through the use of text, positioning, and models. The 1952 advertisement contains a small text, a before and after picture of a female model, and a large headline. The small text shows that people, in this case women, liked to find out for themselves what was being advertised through reading. The before and after picture of the female model the advertisement has is much bigger than the text. This lets us know that people might have liked to be informed through pictures as well, meaning they liked to see the differences the products being advertised made. The 2009 advertisement displays a slightly larger text than the one of 1952, a picture of female model wearing the makeup being advertised, and a large headline too. Due to the text being slightly larger than the one of 1952, we can see that people from nowadays still enjoy reading. The makeup being worn by the models hasn’t changed, women still like to see what the product looks like being worn. The picture of the female model in the 1952 advertisement is very simple and placed as the background of the advertisement. The model is just looking...

...Justin Richardson November 16, 2013 Rip-Off Nowadays television and the advertising displayed in it is a part of everyday life in most households. What many people do not know is that television in many ways is bad. Many newspaper articles have been written on this. Many surveys and books have been written on this subject as well. The ads in television are what are especially bad. Some television ads are very misleading to the public. Many companies use false advertisement to catch the audience’s attention. In this case, they use it in many ways such as billboards, posters, etc. The way the product is shown in the advertisement makes the customer want to buy the product because of the way it catches the customer’s eye. Companies use this because it is a very effective way for them to get high amounts of money. The food industry is mostly known for having these types of advertisements. A certain food industry named McDonald’s is known for this type of advertisement on the famous burger, The Big Mac. The meal that they would serve you at any ordinary McDonald’s would not be the same as the burgers on the posters or the billboards. This is caused by either the laziness or the speed of the employees at the McDonald’s. Also, on TV commercials, they make sure that their burgers are made to perfection so that it attracts the costumer, but when it comes to reality, the employees at the fast food restaurant put no effort into making their burgers at good as they look on the Television...

...In the world of advertisement the way the way words are used to describe products can be very misleading and it is the key to advertisement deception. For the past few days I have been watching commercials, and have seen these deceptive commercials in the advertisement industry. These commercials mislead people into thinking that these products are “wonder products” and these products will do everything they claim it says it will do. Recently, I was watching television and caught the new Roc Multi Correxion Cream, and it stated that it has five Anti Age Actions that will help moisturize the skin and make wrinkles disappear. What exactly are Anti Age Actions and how can they “dramatically” make someone look younger? The name of the product uses Correxion instead of Correction. This implies that it is not guaranteed to work so that’s why they spelled it differently. In addition, the little slogan or jingle says it corrects what aging you but doesn’t spell it out. It implies it is correcting you so it sounds like the name of the product. On another occasion I caught the AT&T commercial for the Iphone 3gs, and it states “the phone that changed everything”, but what did it really change if anything, except the price of the phone and the monthly bill costs. What could this phone possibly have changed; in the commercial they were very broad about that part. AT&T said they made the phone that changed everything even more amazing because not it was forty-nine...

It is a phenomenon that has allowed us to see the latest news, advertisements, the latest movies, or even the most up to date current events that is happening throughout the whole world. History of Television There are different Era’s of the televisions. Prior to the year 1935, it was called the Mechanical Television Era. It was the first generation and was not completely electronic which displayed a TV screen and it had a small motor with a spinning disc and neon lamp. (Bennett, 2001) First Media Advertisement in the United States In the United States, the first advertisement shown on the television was for Bulova and it had showed for 10 seconds and was placed before a baseball game between the Brooklyn Dodgers and the Philadelphia Phillies. The company paid only $9.00 for the advertisement. There are two main characteristics to television advertisement in the United States. The first task is to create a television advertisement that had met the standards and second, the placing of the advertisement on television through a certain type of media that would reach the type of customer they are aiming for.

...between your toes while the gentle breeze glides through your wavy hair. Gorgeous, shiny shells are washed along the shoreline by the rippling of the water. This moment is absolutely breathtaking, and you cannot help to feel amazing in your white, strappy bikini. But suddenly, you are woken up from this magnificent dream and violently brought back to reality. You can no longer sit and enjoy this heavenly view, especially in that white bikini. The time has come…to change your tampon. Tampon commercials have become dull and misleading. The concept of that “time of the month” is now construed to be a glorious time, filled with love and beauty. Dancing, exercising, or running along the beach wearing white is just some of the many aspects of the hundreds of unrealistic commercials for feminine products. Fortunately, there is a new, daring brand that emphasizes the key trait of being honest and realistic. The Kotex brand brings a fresh life to tampon advertisements, giving the viewers a sarcastic spin on the authenticity of a woman’s menstrual cycle. The “U” by Kotex commercial is aimed towards younger women in their college years. A large amount of college women are looking for the truth; many are sick and drained by the impractical television commercials. There is without a doubt not one college girl that embodies complete perfection. So why...

...Think Different Advertising is a powerful tool that is used to persuade people to buy diver products, services, or to do something. The right and balanced advertisement in a well-organized business can help the company to become very successful. Willy Rogers, American famous entertainer, says, “Advertising is the art of convincing people to spend money they don’t have for something they don’t need.” Although it is a humorous saying, it is through because advertising affects people sense, feelings, and taste. There are thousands advertisements in TV, Internet, posters, newspapers and magazines. My favorite commercial is “Think Different” from Apple Inc. because it appeals to wide audience and contains a powerful message. Since 1997, Apple started to make its exclusive ads. One of the well-known commercials was “Think Different.” This ad was made in 1997 by the Los Angeles office of advertising agency TBWA/Chiat/Day. The most essential trick that made people to watch the advertisement entirely was presenting famous people accompaniment with easy listening music in the background. It makes them feel relaxed and trustful and watch the commercial until end. The audience to whom Apple Inc. applies was young people who imagine that by owning Apple products they would differ from others. Surprisingly middle aged people have joined to the youths also because they were attracted by commercials and quality of products. Apple Inc. continues using this advertising technics by making their...

The innovation adoption model of the response process “evolved from work on the diffusion of innovations” (Belch & Belch, 2012). The commercials are designed to impact various stages of the response process by making the public aware and introducing new technology for electronic readers. In the Cognitive stage, the commercials evoke awareness in the consumer by showing the product. In the Affective stage, the consumer’s interest begins when they see the product’s functions and capabilities, which may lead to wanting to learn more about it by research or networking with others.

...INTRODUCTION Rationale Television is among the most important means of communication nowadays. It is used to communicate ideas to change people’s behaviors by means of several term including selected Filipino Short Film commercials that give values to the viewers. According to McLuhan (n. d.), television is a form of entertainment, and it has educational properties. It teaches all the time, doing even more educating than schools.

Today, the need for the solid Filipino philosophy of values is urgent in order to serve as a fundamental basis not only to speculation of the different sciences but also to the practice for Filipino philosophy of values exist. According to Patton (2006), television commercials have long been an effective means of advertising products. Today they are less dominant in the television landscape due to the rise of TiVo, commercial free cable and other forms of video entertainment. New types of advertising like sponsorship of sporting events featured on television and the placement of products within shows are growing, but traditional commercials still take up significant airtime and account for a large amount of broadcaster revenue. Few television viewers have not been exposed to television commercials. Advertising involves programming that is paid for by companies...

...Advertising to Consumers On July 1, 1941, the first commercial advertisement aired on television and drastically changed the way consumers view advertising. In present times, consumers are confronted with advertisements not just on television, but also in magazines, on the internet, and, of course, the most common form, word of mouth. Companies spend millions of dollars each year on advertisements targeted to increase their brand awareness through marketing campaigns. Through advertisements, consumers are educated about the price of products or services and possible differences in quality, allowing them to find a solution that best fits their needs. Advertising is not just a way to promote items; it is also commonly used as a public service to bring attention to issues such as domestic violence, cancer awareness, or available job opportunities. How advertising is used is largely dependent upon the goals of the company, taking into account such factors as what target they want to obtain, the amount of money they’re willing to spend, and they’re target demographic. TV advertising is one of the most popular forms of advertising and, in many ways, also the most effective. In 2008, about seventy billion dollars were spent on the creation of television advertisements. Some of the most prominent advantages of this form of advertising are that it can reach to millions of viewers while, at the same time, being selective in its target audience. Although television advertising can...

...Advertisements have been around from the beginning of time and the main goal has always been to catch peoples attention and peak their interest in your eye popping advertisement and say “WOW! i need that. i am going to purchase one of those.” Advertising companies go to great extremes to get there name out. Worldwide, they risk more than $500 billion on advertisements a year. In 1900, the standard billboard was created in America, creating a billboard explosion along streets and highways. Advertisements use everything to there advantage, every object, color, person, and clothing is placed there for a reason. You may not realize it but almost everywhere we go we get bombarded with advertisements. The average child in America watches over 40,000 television commercials in a year, or over 100 a day. How does this affect our minds and judgement during everyday purchases? in this paper we are going to be looking at an advertisment for notonourbeaches.com and we will be discussing why the image is constructed in the way it is. We are also going to be looking at the success of the advertisement and how the producer met their goal. First, take a good look at the advertisement what catches your eye? Is it the man throwing a tin of some sort, or does the big splash of red with dead fish coming out catch your eye, or maybe even the mountins in the background? what should first catch your eye is the big red splash with an abundance of dead fish around it.

...this commercial, you have a lot of action and a lot of different things to keep you focused on and entertained. Advertisers start off with a lady and a moped and a cop, and a weather lady just to name a few. They try to use humor and familiar things, just like with the music to keep you watching. Many people just record the things that they want to watch, so that way they can just fast forward through the commercials. Finally, Subway advertisers say things to sell themselves, like “Fiver Dollar Footlong.” Heck, that’s a good deal to people, and Subway is good for you. People like deals, and this is a big advertisement, as people can’t go without food. They sure do get a lot out to their viewers in the short 30 seconds that they have.

What was earlier in the paper can now be seen and heard at the same time. And in between the late twentieth and early twenty-first century, came the Internet. It reached its mass audience in a global scale. Connecting people from around the world, this has been the most effective way of communicating and sending a message to the people. And mass media led companies and alike to have a new way of reaching their prospects and consumers through advertisements. Advertisements of products on radio, television, billboards and others alike have been around for more than 300 years. And as we fast forward in time, it has evolved from simple and in-your-face commercials to the lavish and extravagant advertisements seen and heard by us. And other companies let the celebrities do the talking. Sports icons, movie stars and musicians, to name a few, are used to endorse a company’s product or service. It has been a trend for the companies, small and big, old and new, to have a “face” that can carry the name of the product or service they will provide to their customers.
