Thank you We sneak in and here's your shmoop du

00:05

jour brought to you by babies We once saw a

00:08

newborn so big he was already wearing football pads Your

00:12

mother All right check out this public service poster Yeah

00:18

All right viewers can conclude that this poster is intended

00:20

for an audience of home and here the potential answers

00:24

and they don't have grinch on there All right Well

00:28

so we've got a poster that uses a picture of

00:30

a sudsy baby to tout the necessity of whooping cough

00:33

vaccines Now who's this supposed to reach well option is

00:37

a definite no yeah there's a baby in the picture

00:39

about babies can't read unless they're baby geniuses but if

00:42

they're that smart well they already know they need vaccines

00:44

And either way infants aren't the intended audience here Option

00:47

b can go to on ly a really terrible doctor

00:50

would be unaware that baby's ought to get vaccinated for

00:52

whooping cough So a campaign directed at doctors would be

00:55

for the most part a waste of time He is

00:58

a no brainer We just eliminated two groups right Well

01:00

that means there's no chance that this poster is supposed

01:03

to appeal to all groups Which leaves us with just

01:05

option See this poster is clearly intended for parents of

01:09

young children real giveaways When the poster says for more

01:13

reasons to vaccinate talk to your child's doctor Well if

01:16

somebody has a child Then that means they're apparent Or

01:19

they might be a stork But in which case they're

01:21

just delivering the baby So they're technically not a parent 00:01:24.324 --> [endTime] yet But uh well you get the idea
