I’m writing a paper on the differences between US ads aimed at teen girls, and their UK equivalent. If you watch Skins, or another teen drama: what types of ads are shown between acts?

Specific Questions:
1. Do the ads match the quality of the TV show? Here, TV shows with high budgets (Gossip Girl, or Desperate Housewives) have similarly expensive-looking ads. Low-budget TV shows have cheap-looking ads with bad acting, cheap sets, cheesy music, etc.

2. Do you feel as if you can afford most of what’s advertised during your favorite TV show?

3. Are most of the ads for things you’d really want or need– soap, milkshakes, shoes? Or are they things you can’t afford or don’t need– luxury cars, home insurance, a lawyer?
