 * Fallacy Project: //Non sequitur//**
 * 09 January 2014**


 * 1.** A // non sequitur // fallacy is usually meant to be comedic. It is when something is said that is irrelevant to former words/sentences. The name of this fallacy means “it does not follow” in Latin.

**2.** Example 1: The woman my brother married was heartless. New Yorkers must be terrible people. Example 2: I got sick after eating at the sushi restaurant. You should never eat sushi.

media type="youtube" key="9EKLR894oMs" width="560" height="315" This video is an example of a //non sequitur// fallacy because no matter how wonderful a smell is, angels will not literally fall from Heaven just to smell it. In this commercial, angels fall from the sky just to smell a man who has sprayed Axe body spray. In the real world, this would not happen.

media type="youtube" key="abdHGojPQR0" width="560" height="315" This video is also an example of a //non sequitur// because no energy drink actually "charges" you enough to start a car. In this commercial for an energy drink, a man runs across a woman who has a broken down car. After drinking an energy drink, he is able to use jumper cables using his body's energy to start the car. This is not realistic.
