Fallacies such as the slippery slope, playing with numbers,
and the false dilemma are often used by advertisers to influence viewers'
attitudes. Review advertisements on television, online, or in magazines and identify
an instance of one of the fallacies discussed in the chapter. Post the fallacy,
how it occurred, and in what context. Where possible, provide a reference so
that others may view your source. When you have done this, review your
classmates' posts. Reply to the post that you believe contains the most blatant
fallacy.
