For instance, one advertising which has a beauty and a dog, the beauty wears well and her face looks coquettish. The dog is lovely. That’s all. Let’s guess what the advertising wants to tell us. Clothes? Cosmetic? Dog? lovely-hearts ad? No, you are wrong. Please look at the small word under the paper: dog food. So what’s your felling now? Maybe you think you are foolish?
