I’m a roach!
Favourite quotes from Wednesday’s lecture are, “You will never have a hummer” and my hope for my future is … ”…to date a hot prof” also “Consumers are like roaches, you can spray and spray them and they will get more immune”
I found it very intersting to look at some commercials I wouldn’t normally ask “what is being sold” and then apply them to our lives. I really do think the Dove commercials are a good thing. Sure, they are selling a product, but it is a good product and a good message. I did find the American Eagle? campaign about the end of the world/ Global warming disturbing. I look at some ads, and think, “was there no one in the board room saying, this is a bad idea?”
So is anyone else fretting that we have to hand in our papers next (next) Wednesday? I am. But once I’m done everything will be hunky dori!!

I also think that the Dove commercials are a good thing. Yes I know they are selling a product, and yes I know they are probably more concerned with making money than actually enhancing the way women feel about themselves, but I would rather support a company that at least pretends to care, and sends out a positive message. It is nice to see that Dove is breaking away from ads and commercials that feature the traditional images of femininity and beauty (ie// super thin, beautiful, flawless women). I think it is good that they are acknowledging that women don’t have to be supermodels to be beautiful, even if Dove is just doing it to reap a profit.

Thank you for this iphone video! It was hilarious! I think it’s funny because it’s soo true… devices that are supposed to be making our lives easier are impossible to use. I’d rather have my camera, phone, and mp3 player as separate devices.
