This ad displays questionable ethics based upon the fact some people may believe they are hinting to overweight people who need to loose weight and stop eating meat. They are saying "Save the Whales, lose the blubber: go vegetarian." Now you can see the that this is obviously an ad for PETA, but a lot of people could take this ad offensively, and not realize they are talking about people going vegetarian to save the animals. Especially since they are showing an overweight woman, and referring her to a whale who needs to lose the blubber. The main idea of this ad is to save animals, since that is what PETA is all about, but they displayed it in a very offensive way.
This ad displays questionable ethics because Reebok is simply stating the fact that cheating on a spouse is okay, and that looking better, working out, and having the best body is more important. Society already is based upon looks, now a days we are only excepted if we look good, and have nice bodies. Reebok is saying that you should cheat on your girlfriend, not your workout, which is saying looks are more important. People could take this offensively, especially people who have been been cheated on, and with the divorce rates rising this ad doesn't help decrease those numbers.
This ad displays questionable ethics because it is a cigarette ad that is basically saying smoking is what gets you anything you want. In this ad for Tipalet cigarettes they are saying "Blow in her face and she'll follow you anywhere." This is a questionable ethic ad because they are saying smoking is what will pretty much get you romance or sex, that smoking is attractive, but smoking kills, and the fact that their saying to blow in her face is questionable, because second hand smoke kills as well. They display smoking as something good, something positive, but everyone knows for a fact that smoking kills you, and so does secondhand smoke.
