In the essay "Can an Engine Pump the Valves in Your Heart" by Jean Kilbourne, she gives an example of how advertising companies use sex to sell their product. According to Kilbourne, advertisement of a product is more important than the product it self. In this close examination of the message in car advertising, Kilbourne finds much that is strange, distasteful, and even ridiculous. Nowhere is it more evident that advertising encourages us to believe …

…of a company is trying to sell himself and his product to the people that are interested in buying his product. The person that might want to purchase that item would want to trust the person he or she might buy it from. If that person does not trust the dealer, or the owner, the consumer might think twice about the item; though, these days no one really thinks twice about what they are buying.
