Persuasive Techniques
The advertisement appeals to my REPTILIAN brain because the President Bush is in a press conference which would be kind of important. Then comes my LIMBIC brain, when the reporter through the shoe it made me feel heroic that someone would stand up to a powerful person. And finally my NEOCORTEX which makes me think why the reporter through the shoe.
1. Symbol: For me the main symbol was the President of United States.
2. Plain Folks: The reporters in the room are normal people that attend conferences on daily bases.
3. Humor: I think that it makes a lot of people laugh. Well at least it made me laugh
4. Name Calling: The reporter called the President a "DOG". Which is a very big insult in Iraq
5. Testimonial: Everyone recognizes President Bush, he is well know all over the world.
I picked this video for a reason not to make fun of President Bush but to show people that it doesn't always have to commercial or any kind of advertizing to persuade someone.

Brain Activity
Beofer I tell you what parts of the brain are influenced. I would like everyone to know that every persons brain functions differently. So I think it would be unfair to say that everyone things like this. But on the other hand we could say some people think likes this. I have been thinking about it logicaly and it is imposible for people to feel the same way so ther is some probablity of people thinking the same but not too much. But the way I reacted to this was first by laughter and by thining a little about it. THe laughter would fall under the LIMBIC BRAIN, becasue it controls emotions and feeling and for me it was funny that they didn't care about the comfort of pasigers. Secondly you had to use the NEOCORTEX BRAIN also, you had to think about it. You had to think about it when you read subtitles but alos when you processed everyhting in your head.
