The biggest Logical Fallacies to me are the infomercials and television advertisements. I think the commercials for shampoos, make up products, and other beauty products are over exaggerated. When you see a commercial for shampoo and you see a woman very happy having the time of her life using that shampoo, you want to buy it because you think that'll be you in her place if you get it. Well, once I get it and use it, I'm not feeling like a supermodel having a great day, it feels like I'm taking a shower. Along with shampoo, make up commercials use celebritites a lot, so people want to look or be like that celebrity so they buy the make up, but they can't put it on like they do. I know when I go shopping for make up, I get the best stuff that celebirites advertise, but when I get home I don't have a make up artist to look like the celebrities do. So here I am with this top of the market brand make up, but am took scared to try and use it because I don't know how to apply it as well as the make up artists do in Hollywood that make the celebrities the way they do.
Another one that gets me worked up are the diet pills. They say at the end that you're probably not going to get the results you expected, and they say that you have to diet and exercise while taking the pills. I think if people are smart enough to see that, they won't waste their money, because they can lose weight without them if they dieted and exercised alone. They get skinny people to say how wonderful it is and show off their bodies and say they lost over 100 pounds with it, but they also had to exercise and diet along with taking the pills.
