Rhetorical Fallacies

Pathos

In this example of an Emotional Fallacy, Bridgestone tells us that without their tires, many accidents such as road kill will occur. However, for those pet/animal lovers they do not have a choice. Would they spend less money on a normal tire, or have an expensive, safe on turning tire that reduces the rate of road kill. How can they refuse to buy Bridgestone tires, even when the animals in the video especially screams to indicate that humans are killing them? Think about it, what organism dies because of the tires? The driver is the deadliest weapon.

Ethos

This example of an Ethical Fallacies uses John McCain--a candidate of politics--explain why you should vote for him because he thinks that health care is important. He says that health care needs to be affordable and that the people need the care that he is about to offer. This guy is using his position of being a politician to lure those in need of health care to vote for him, that is unfair. He thinks that the people of the United State of America only needs health care in order to survive. That is why he isn't the president today.

Logos

With a hint of Ethos, this advertisement tells us the brain is like a ripe banana. Why? People say that TV will rot our brains, but no, it softens the brain just like a ripe banana. If your brain is softened, then let's just say that the people of Hulu has done their job, because now, you can't stop watching TV. The ad then says: What's so bad about watching TV when you can watch anytime, anywhere, for free!? So, their point is: Why not watch TV? It's for free, you can watch it anywhere, anytime on Hulu, and  it softens the brain. First of all, what does softening the brain have to do with watching TV? Secondly, I tried Hulu, it's not available in Taiwan. Lastly, isn't using electricity to watch TV using money? So it's not for free.
