"Salespeak"

The article, "Salespeak" by Roy F. Fox, talks about a girl named "Pepsi" who lives in a Pepsi world, where person, product, and hype have merged with everyday life.  Within her life you see who nearly part of her life is somehow linked to sales.  For example when her mom and her are watching the Nike commercial and then Pepsi then wants those shoes.  I agree with Fox when he says salespeak targets a younger audience because when i see commercials that interest me I want to go buy that product.  As for my mom she can watch many commercials and not feel as tempted as me to buy that product.  Sometimes I do think it is because of our generations being different.  I also agree when Fox says, " Salespeak is more than a voice we hear and see; we also wear it, smell it, touch it, play with it.  This is so true, I feel as if everyone is always trying to stay up to date on the new brand new products that become available.  It is hard not to when everywhere you look there is a certain brand name product being sponsored in some way.  For example, if you are stuck in rush hour traffic typically people start looking around at the many billboards that are advertising products.  

I found it interesting when the article talked about Channel One because my high school started watching Channel One my senior year in high school.  Therefore i was able to see firsthand what Channel One was all about.  I enjoyed watching Channel One because it was a break form school work but it was just advertising certain products like other television shows.  Therefore i did not see the purpose of taking away quality education time to watch it.  I found this article to be very interesting because it really made me realize how much of an effect salespeak have on our everyday life.
