"More often, though, it persuades by massaging us- entertaining and arousing us, and changing our emotions with inmagery, sound effects, and music" (Roy Fox; Salespeak (57).
The picture to the right shows a

model in a  high priced langerie

line called Victoria Secret. The

model is seducing us or in Roy

Fox's way of saying it "arousing

us".
In all reality, the advertisments from the recent years have been exploding with controversy of seduction. From sex (shown above) to fame (down below), beauty, love, wealth, power, happiness, and popularity. The advertisers are becoming smarter when it comes down to the point of selling their product.
In every ad (or most), the advertisers secretly put messages into them.These messages call out to the consumer saying buy me, and if you do, great rewards will accompany you. Such rewards would include (if you're lucky): fame, happiness, love, power, etc. But most of all it will make you happy becuase you; the consumer knows what is cool and will fit in . And that is where the CULT begins.
