I found a picture of Kobe Bryant where there is a definition of a made up word Klose. This word is a play on the word close, but the C is switched with the letter K to stand for the K in Kobe's name. The definition is 1. To shut; conclude 2. to end games and demoralize opponents. This is on half of the page while on the other half Kobe is looking at his fingers as he counts how many championships he has won. I have always been a big fan of good players in whatever sport it comes to, but when that player shows signs of cockiness I start to lose all respect for them.
Another reason why I'm not a huge fan of this ad is because it shows younger athletes and children that look up to this professional as a role model that acting like you're better then others is okay. I know that I am still a kid myself, but when I see ads like this that I think might effect the way my child in the future is raised, I go into protective father mode and sometimes get frustrated at the media for allowing ads like this to be shown. Due to these reason's and build up frustration that I have towards the media and cocky professional athletes I believe that I am going to make a adbuster out of this picture of Kobe Bryant. I am not sure exactly what I am going to do yet, but I'm sure an idea will come to me soon.
