so I actually kind of hate them...I mean I love them, but I also don't like to NOT be able to make the decision. Yeah last post I did say I can't handle decisions....I'm confusing myself...what can I say? I'm complex! (gag)
THE POINT IS. I don't think I'm alone here when I say I love finding things that just make life better. For example::
-Finding a couple bucks in an old purse or wallet that allows you to buy a pop from the vending machine :)
-Drinking half of said pop and then saving it
-Eating a crap load of m&ms and thinking "MAN if only I had some pop" going to the fridge to get some milk just to discover BAM! The other half of the pop!!!
ok it was a lot more exciting for me at the time....
Lately I've been watching some more T.V than I usually do and I really am shocked sometimes by advertisements and basically anything and everything on T.V. In my freshman writing course this semester we had to read about advertising targeted towards children. Especially this method called "synergy." Basically its when a bunch of companies team up (like Disney and McDonald's) to boost everyone's earning power. I saw a PRIME example of this the other day. Its probably the weirdest thing to observe
My favorite line:: "Who needs boring clothes??" Look at how sad the kids are!!!
--Now for a more "adult" look at shocking advertising.
so for kids, they prey on how desperate they are to fit in, and for adults; they just use sex. No big deal
AND!
The Hills makes me want to throw up. One of the girls on it is married and she wants to have a baby but her husband doesn't want to...so she plans on going off her birth control without telling him and the SURPRISING him with news of a pregnancy...because she thinks that in that situation, he would become really excited about having kids.....great example of a BAD surprise. Stupid idiot. Like who are these people? And why are they allowed to influence the youth of America?
*Michaella and I high-fived in a public place after talking about New Moon today.....it was really a turning point in realizing just how obsessed we were...2 days what?
