The author supports her statement by first stating what we should do, as in boycott and get rid of celebrities advertising for a large corporation. She continues by claiming that it is “insulting to the audience”. The authors purpose is to argue that celebrities advertising a product is unfair to smaller businesses so that consumers who see a bad product but see their favorite actor or celebrity using it they immediately want such product. The author Jozui uses a sarcastic but more serious tone in explaining why false advertising is a bad thing. The author uses a very well thought out argument because doing false advertising is wrong due to bad or unsturdy products that you could spend a lot of money on but will end up breaking in a couple weeks when it says it will last over a year.

Celebrity endorsement is one of the most commonly used channels of brand communication which a celebrity acts as the brand 's spokesperson and endorses the brand 's claim and position by extending his/her personality, popularity, stature in the society or expertise in the field related to the brand that he/she is associated with.

Celebrity endorsements have been started long time ago from 1930s until now, and, it has become a basis of marketing strategies to promoting the branded products (Klaus & Bailey, 2008) and supporting corporate or brand image. Many companies use celebrity endorsement strategy to increase their market share and to increase their profit in selling the products as well. Other than that, effectively used of celebrity endorsements have the potential to enhancing a brand’s competitive position
Ever since the start of commercial radio in the 20’s and the since the first silver screen entered the market, broadcasting messages by celebrities has been a tool employed to endorse products.”Just about every star was associated with one sponsor’s product he or she plugged.”(1). Over the years celebrity endorsement became an essential part of marketing (more than 25% of television ads feature celebrities)(5), for the endorser it became an easy way of generating an income while for the endorsing company it became a guaranteed way to reach a wide segment of potential clients.
Brands have been influence celebrity appearance for a long time. Across categories, whether in products or services, many brands are investing on the bunch appeal of celebrities locally and also internationally. Once a new face enters the popularity charts, advertisers’ line up to have it marked all over. The benefit of celebrity endorsements can be justified by the following advantages by using celebrities on the overall brand. First benefit is Establishment of Credibility. In establishment of credibility, approval of a brand by a star fosters a sense of trust for that brand among the target audience- this is especially true in case of new products. Again as mentioned earlier, we have the Corneto Walls ice cream campaign. At launch, Akim and Stacy endorsed Corneto ice cream to share with the loves ones and this ensured that brand awareness was created in a market, to people which did not even know the brand. Secondly, Ensured Attention which ccelebrities make sure the attention of the target group by dividing the confusion of advertisements and making the advertisement and the brand more visible and understandable. Furthermore, PR coverage is one of the advantages for using celebrities. Managers perceive celebrities as current and up to date, which create high public relation coverage. A good example Rosyam Nor
Celebrity endorsements should not be used when advertising. It is a dishonest practice that creates distrust within the media and the public. People are more likely to take the advice of their family and friends when considering which products to purchase. The public has a difficult time making a personal connection between someone that they do not know and a product. For these reasons, one can see why celebrity endorsements are not effective. Jozui’s argument is valid, because not only does it seem dishonest it is also an ineffective way to
Celebrity endorsement is a billion dollar industries today (Kambitsis et al., 2002) with companies signing deals with celebrities hoping that they can help them stand out from the clutter and give them a unique and relevant position in the mind of the consumer. According to Solomon (2002), the reasons for using celebrity endorsement involves its potential to create awareness, positive feelings towards their advertising and brand.

In his essay, “With These Words I Can Sell You Anything,” William Lutz talks about advertisers uses “weasel” words, and uses pictures or images to convince consumers in buying the product. In today’s advertisement, advertising company mostly uses celebrities as an endorser. Emma Stone has been a great endorser of Revlon for the couple of years. Emma Stone has fresh and natural beauty to be a perfect model for this product. Her 2015 Revlon cover is selling the newest “Ultra HD Lipstick” that comes in “20 high definition shades to love” (ad). Emma stone is portraying a very sophisticated look, and fine hydrant red lips. Her lips are red, everything on the advertisement are almost red, and the “Revlon” logo is dauntlessly red. She is wearing a white top that is perfect for the background. Her hair is blond, and her makeup are elegant looking. The design of the advertisement is flawless. Out of the 20 shades, the red is defining the brand. Red is very outstanding, and is sure to gain buyers attention. Revlon’s advertisement contains weasel words to make a claim for their products; the ad is misleading by claiming that their lipstick is wax-free gel technology, and the ad uses celebrity as the endorser to redirect consumer’s

It is no secret that modern day advertisements circulate around celebrities. This is not new. Unfortunately the propaganda does not end with a pop icon saying how much they love the product. Take the Kardashians, for example. Kim Kardashian created her fame around her body. She was displayed in a Carl’s Jr. commercial where the focus of the video was hardly on lettuce. The commercial says, “Who says salads can’t be hot?”. Following the release in January of 2010, there have been 258 million media reports on the advertisement. There must be some reason why the response to this thirty second video was so overwhelming. The Kardashians are the most well known family in America. We look at magazine covers and think; Why is this headline news? The Kardashians are hardly regarded as successful business people. Kim has created a culture through a video game that made roughly $100 million since the 2014 launch. It is ridiculous, but besides the absurd plot of the game, it is remarkable that the revenue was so large. Kim’s sister, Kylie Jenner, at 19 years of age launched one of the most successful cosmetic lines of 2016 with a net worth of $10 million. There is no denying that the Kardashians are more than their appearances. However, it is common to see television, film, and propaganda ridden with sexual innuendos. These “harmless” comments are the reason strong woman are disregarded for their achievements and praised
Celebrities can have a significant influence on consumer choices since they’re recognizable and admired by targeting audiences.

As the article “what we are to Advertisers” by James B Twitchell informs that Advertisers use the strategy of positioning to attract consumers to their product. Positioning is a marketing strategy that exerts a brand to get the attention of customers. The product itself doesn’t even have to attract the consumer, the advertiser just needs to make an ad that creates a spark into people's minds. Although a product might be similar to its competitors, an ad can make a difference with how they are interpreted. Twitchell makes to understand that even though all of us are put into a category, we somehow all connect.
It has been discovered by scholars that the credibility of celebrities have a very positive impact on the attitudes regarding brands, advertising and behavior intention of purchase.
