I found this advertisement online and I think it is very clever. The mustachios are the key feature in this advertisement that deals with one's perception of an image. On the left, the small mustache is accompanied by hair to which you can assume depicts the image of Hitler's hairstyle and mustache. On the right, there is a hat added and you can assume that it's Charlie Chaplin. The two are EXTREMELY percieved in very different lights, and this advertisement does a good job to show it. When people think of Hitler, they think negative thoughts, Chaplin brings thoughts of happiness.

This ad makes the reader believe that the only difference between the two is a hat. A simple hat. A hat can turn a brutish, savage person into a funny, endearing person that people admire. Quite a big difference.

The simplicity is nice in this ad and the analogy works really well.
