TESTIMONIAL
|
A testimonial is an unfair and misleading message that is told from an unqualified source. The McDonald’s advertisement is an example of a testimonial. Lebron James, an NBA star is advertising a McDonald’s meal. Lebron James and another basketball player competes for the McDonald’s bag for lunch, which seems like it’s really valuable. However, it seems like the wrong person is on the advertisement, because Lebron James has nothing to do with McDonald’s. He’s a basketball player, not a food critic. Anyone can be on the advertisement and compete for the McDonald’s bag to show much he or she wants the food. In other words, Lebron James was chosen as person to advertise for the company just because he is a popular and famous basketball player.
