For ages I have seen people walking
around with hoodies and hats saying OBEY on them, I literally saw them
everywhere and just assumed it was some
brand everyone loved.
Thankful for the insight from Ryan and
Rowan by showing us this clip from the movie They Live, I now know where the obey
thing comes from and it’s really ironic....
In this clip it shows how everyone is ‘secretly’
being told to obey through advertising. People tend to like wearing branded
clothing that have a brand logo or name very clearly on it, this is like free
advertisement for that brand when people wear it, someone will be walking
around with a name on and others will start to recognise and know the name
therefore giving the brand publicity. The ironic thing that I found about
people who were wearing the obey clothing (this may be a judgement and generalisation
but in some cases true when they were asked) that these people do not actually
know they are contributing to the idea we obey to advertising. They were wearing
the clothing because it is popular. They are obeying to the advertisement the
clothing has been displaying. They have obeyed…..
