Her Facebook profile tells me that she is a republican, likes to play/watch sports, listen to music, and watch TV shows. You can’t really say that there’s a self that she’s trying to sell here because these are some of the most common things that a person says about themselves on Facebook, or even in a general conversation. The content posted by other people is mostly about what the plans are for the weekend and other things like that. Even though the content does not fit into the “image” it doesn’t mean it’s fake because again these are typical things on her profile and you’re not going to see someone ask something like “What TV shows do you like to watch?”
For the ads, there was one about VA Tech, which is obviously relevant since we go to Tech, but then there was an ad about NFL Jerseys. The jerseys were at a discount price, the ad shows a picture of some jerseys, and the target audiences were NFL fans. This ad was not relevant at all to her because she said she has never looked up any kind of jerseys on Facebook or the internet, but still the ad was doing a good job of catching the reader’s attention by showing that they were only $18. There is also a chance that most of her friends are big football fans and show it on Facebook, therefore that’s why she got that ad.
