Straw Man- taking a weak point of a persons argument and attacking it to prove one part of the argument is false, making the whole argument false. media type="custom" key="27884515" In the "Wheres the Beef" commercial the straw man fallacy is used when the ladies attack the size burger patty at other places. When the ladies start attacking the small size of other burger restaurants they are making the argument false by saying Wendy's burgers are bigger and better. The straw man fallacy is when person A is attacking person B's weakest argument point so that person A appears as if they are right.

media type="custom" key="27884517" In the movie "Thank You For Smoking" the straw man fallacy is used when the two people in the movie start debating about ice cream, chocolate versus vanilla. When the kid says that chocolate ice cream is the best and he would not have any other flavor; the adult uses freedom and liberty as his point because it doesn't matter whether one person believes his argument but rather the whole country believes his argument point. He states that without freedom and liberty people could not chose their ice cream independently which in fact proves that the kid is wrong making the adult right.
