SOCIAL & CULTURAL OBSERVATIONS
Comparison of Bitish and Canadian TV Ads
I have noticed that in British TV ads there a lot more advertising for home improvemen, such as ads for bathroom & kitchen renovation, new floor tiling, solar panels, new carpets, etc. I think this is because most of the houses that people own are relativly older and in disrepair compared to Canadian ones. Yesterday I saw for the first time an advertisement for head lice treatment and I have never seen this in both USA and Canada. Mainly the two countries TV ads are the same in terms of quality, but the British ads sometimes needs more imagination to understand.
Cars
The price of cars that they advertise is more exspensive in Canada and even more exspensive than in USA; and this is for a relatively small sized car about a foot and a half longer than a Smart Car. There also seems more varity of models on the road and TV ads. I think we need to keep in mind that I am in London,which is one of the capitol cities of the world.
