This image shows are large hairy man eating fast food, smoking, and drinking beer screaming about the dangers of Ebola. He represents the fear in the USA about the Ebola virus, when in actuality the real dangers to the people's lives are already all around us. This advertisement's use of statistics of yearly death causes appeals to logos, giving reason as to why these household killers are of more relevance than an African virus that has killed 2 people so far. This large man's disproportionate head is also meant to appeal to the reader's sense of pathos as well. His shaved, neckless head is stereotypical of a buffoon and his actions show it. This picture captures the American fears that some new/uncommon danger to people are going to kill us all, when really, the easiest way to die has been with us the whole time.
