This post relates to my previous post. I found an example (show below) of an advertisement where different people will think different things. I looked through some advertisements and then came across this one. At first I thought it was funny because of the "tough guy" becoming soft. I also thought it was funny because the website I was looking at also had other funny advertisements, so it was natural for me to think of it as being funny because that is what kind of advertisements I was looking at. After my initial reaction I started to think how some people may not find it as funny. Some people may find it that the advertisement is trying to say that bikers and such are not caring or don't give to charities. The advertisement has stereotyped a group of people who they look at and don't see as charity givers. It may be funny to some, but maybe not all.
