Examples of Logical Fallacies

This picture depicks a, 'Personal Attack Fallacy.' This attack is used to make the other person look bad, or not good enough for the job. A lot of politicans use when on campaign, when they are questioned and do not know how to give a good responses. They also use this to make the other person they are running against look bad, doing this makes them seem like the better or logical choice of the two. The picture shows a larger shrimp talking down a smaller shrimp. His size makes him seem like the better shrimp and if this were an issue of which one a female shrimp should choose, then the larger shrimp would be the logical choice. But if this was applied to our goverment this ia not true. A persons size does not make them better or smarter. A persons actions and how they solve a problem is what matters.

The Red Herring Fallacy is being used here. One duck states he is convinced that the, 'Flying Spaghetti Monster', exsists. When the duck is asked to produce evidence that this monster exists, he states how there is plenty of evidence but doesnt produce a single one and further deflects the attention from himself to him standing on one leg. The duck clearly has no evidence to support his claim and tries to deflect the other ducks attention from the topic at hand to his ability to stand on one leg. A lot of people in our goverment do this. When Obama is asked what happened to how he was gonna "change" our future when he just made things worse, he points out what he HAS done to avoid the question. I thought this one was hilarious and cute. I just had to post it.

The logical fallacy being used here is that if you use this product, you too can look like Marilyn Monroe.
This fallacy is so commonly used, it is just about in every advertisment to look at. From beauty all the way to business. Every one of them tells you how they are the best and something like the picture above is your result.
