A Physciatric Evaluation Rules the Norway Killer Insane
OSLO, Norway – Confessed mass killer Anders Behring Breivik was insane when he killed 77 people in a bomb and shooting rampage in Norway, and should be sent to a psychiatric ward instead of prison, prosecutors said Tuesday.
A psychiatric evaluation ordered by an Oslo court found that the self-styled anti-Muslim resistance fighter was psychotic during the July 22 attacks, the country's worst peacetime massacre — which means he's not mentally fit to be sentenced to prison, prosecutors told reporters.

     There is a person depicted in this ad. The gender is male. The race is caucasion. The person looks like an older male that is stylish. Their facial expression is smiling. The camera angle in this photo is side veiw for one and like almost head on for another. There is artificail ligthing used in the photos. The rifle is highlighted in the one with the bolt action rifle because the rifle is the main peice not the bench its on. There is a shadow on the one with the bench and they are roughly as big as the gun. This ad uses alot of just basic colors in the pictures. They arent bright. The pictures are in color. They arent in sharp contrast with eachother. The text in this ad looks good and it fits the ad well. The font is like a military stencil font. Only one type of font is used. There are two colors to the text, the title is in like an O.D. green and the regular writing is in black. The text talks about how many times they inspect the wepon and the prototype handgun for Billy Mays. There is no large text and there is no small text. 
     The product being sold is a gunsmithing service and a prototype handgun. I find the product appealing because i like firearms and i like Billy Mays. The target audeince is anyone with the like for firearms. There was no emotion or feelings that went with this ad.
     There is no assumption about gender in this ad. This ad doesnt enforce or challenge racial identity. This ad doesnt assume anyhting about class.
      The possible consequences are that your gun wont work but it should. This ad doesnt create an unrealistic expectation for people. This ad doesnt undermine social change. This ad isnt socialy responsible.

The 3 advertisements.



The gender that is represented in this ad is female. The race it is aiming at is caucasian. The person is roughly 20-30 years of age and somewhat classy. Their facial expression is indeferent. The camera angle is like right at the person at a close to medium range. The camera looks as if it is at chest level. The lighting looks artificial because she, the cigerette, and the smoke are the only things visible. Certain parts of the ad are not highlighted. There are no shadows. The colors use are black and white. There is text that is like a times new roman font that is the only font used at a smaller size the color is white and the text says "Kill a Cigerette and Save a Life. Yours." There is no product trying to be sold. The assumptions are that cigerettes will kill you. There is no assumption about race. There is no assumptions about class. The possible concequencies are that you wille if you smoke. It doesnt create an unrealistic expectation for people because anyone can stop smoking if they try hard enough. This add isnt socialy responsible because it isnt going to make someone stop that doesnt want to.



This is a very appealing ad for more than one reason. it is very visual and also if you watch comecials it has the above the infulence symbol in it. Which is appealing to teens.


This is a very abrubupt ad that basicaly says that your killing yourself with smoking and it would just be faster to use a gun.
