Well in the movie Transformers there is a lot of product placement trying to exploit the insecurities. For example the main character Bumblebee is a bright yellow Camaro; this is playing off of the insecurity that shy people have. They may feel invisible, so they connect having a Camaro to being more popular and more visible. Another example is Ironhide who is a big GMC truck. This is exploiting people who feel weak. Because he is big and strong, they think having a GMC truck will make them big and strong. In Animal Farm the pigs use the other animals’ insecurities of feeling stupid. They tell them that their memories are incorrect and the others, not wanting to feel stupid, don’t disagree.

   In Animal Farm the pigs try to control all the news that the other animals get, that’s just like the media now. They try to be the only ones to give us the news, so they can control us easier. They sit there and tell us what they say is going on. Same thing with the pigs from animal farm’ Napoleon tells all the other animals everything in the meetings they have. That way if there is something he doesn’t want the other animals to know, they can’t find out. The media gives news from their point of view, and don’t give another. Same with Napoleon the pig.
