Journal 7: what are today’s advertisements saying?

Here is an advertisement that will not stand the test of time. The whole idea of the ad is that you "Like" one thing but love another. Since Facebook coined the phrase and symbol that goes along with "Like"-ing something, whether it be a status, tv show, or whatever other mundane thing popular social networking sites are trying to get us to buy into at the moment, this ad utilizes the cultural significance in it's ad. Good for now since they are playing off a sort of esoteric vibe but in 5 years it will mean nothing.
