For this assignment, we are require to choose a controversial advertisement and comment on it and compare about the western and eastern culture. Then, we have to find another one which share the same context but less controversial and compare both of them.
So, I have choose a commercial from a brand of seasoned potato chips named "Doritos", the commercial named "Boys Night In".
It talks about three boys left in a house, and one of them grabbing a Doritos
potato chips and sit beside one of his friend who is a game player. He bite one
bite on the chip, a sexy girl appear out of nowhere and flirt with him. The
game player friend was shock, then he does what his friend did, but this time
he bite two chips at the same time. The same thing happens, but this time
there’s two girls who only wrap themselves in towel. The boy who is playing a
Rubik’s Cube then snatches away the Doritos and pours out all the Doritos to
his mouth, and then there are many girls appear out of nowhere again. So, they
turn out to be a hot party!

At the same time, I also found another advertisement which share the same context but less controversial. This commercial is also from "Doritos", and is called "The Revenge". It
says about a man was making fun of his girlfriend’s dog by locking the dog
outside and keep waving the Doritos in his hand to the dog who’s being
locked outside of the door. Then the dog runs toward him. But
he still waving the chip in his hand excitedly seems like keep wondering how
the dog can get the Doritos from him. As the dog run nearer to him, he
is getting excited. But the dog just straight jump and wreck the door,
so the dog together with the door fall together with the man who is making fun
of the dog. After falling down with the door and the man, the dog still
stand on the door proudly. Then the dog enjoys the Doritos itself, while the man still stay under the door and murmuring something.
