The Language of Advertising.

My brother's future prospects in Advertising are looking particularly bright. Check out his latest English response:

Question 3
This ad needs help. It is too bland and unappealing for its target audience. Who do you think its target audience is? With this in mind, make changes to the advertisment and write the improved version in your English book.

Plain ad: "The new Ford Neutral car is a car with four doors and wheels. It comes in seven different colours. It is better than the Holden. The car has good brakes and can stop quickly if it needs to. There is room for seven people and a dog. It also has a CD player."

So I'm presuming that my brother was targeting, uh, kids his age with the use of colloquial language. "Fully-sick" hasn't been added to the dictionary, right?

Jordan's ad: The fully sick new Ford Neutral is a car with fully sick four doors and fully sick wheels!!! It comes in fully sick seven different fully sick colours!! It is better than the fully sick Holden!! The fully sick car has fully sick brakes and can stop fully sickly quickly if it fully sickly needs to!! There is fully sick room for fully seven sick people and a fully sick dog. It also has a fully sick CD player!!

I laughed hysterically and honestly could not stop for a solid 10 minutes.
