#36 so...the last blog
one thing you learned in the media course....that's all...only one
The one main thing I have learned from this class is when watching media products is to keep an open eye and to not take things just as I see them. I learned that I should second look everything.

#34 The Beatles or your favourite musical act and why
clearly explain your thoughts on the Beatles or why another music group/act is your favourite of all time
I cant say that I have a favorite band of all time because my tastes change so often. One of my favorite bands for the longest time though was Red Hot Chili Peppers. I loved them because they and they're sound was so much different then any other bands. They also managed to keep their distinct sound for almost 20 years.

#33 in general,....sweatshops
what's your take.....do you care? should you care? would you be willing to make do with less in order for others to have a little more?
I think it's disgusting the wages people make there. They work for basically nothing because the companies give them pretty much no choice. I would be more than willing to go without in order for others on those countries to have more.

#30 things that are tough to sell to teens
your product?why did you choose this one?what approach did you take to try to sell this to teens?
Our product was these jumps suits. We chose them because we knew that no one would actually buy them. The approach we took was advertising them as a great way to hold alot of things on you because they were so many pockets.

what is it?...how would we recognize it?...are we proud of it?....where does it come from?
Canadians are really proud of our popular culture. We recognize it because it is so much different from the Americans popular culture.

the thinspiration sites
the suicide sites
what should be done about them?
should they be shut down?
how?
There's nothing that can be done about these webites. If they get shut down, there will only be more books written about the same topic. I think people are too concerned with what people see on the internet even though there's nothing they can do about it

People who watch Jersey Shore are probably people who wanna be like the people on the show, which I don't know why they would. The girls on the show are skanks and the guys are all douche bags.

The story my group is doing is about a man who punched his girlfriend's 3 year old son in the mouth in a Tim Hortons. We will be filming around the school and in front of Tim Horton's. I will be playing the infant puncher. It will be a success because this is a great story.

I think that it is sad when all people want to do is play video games, but at the same time everyone has at least one obsession that takes over a good part of their life, whether it be videos, work, sports, etc. If someone chooses to waste their life playing video games, let them. One of my best friends plays video games non-stop, but he still has a job and a girlfriend so it can't be that bad.

I disagree with Dr. Phil. No matter what it is, people will find something that they think is bad for their kids. 30 or 40 years ago, people thought that The Bug's Bunny show was a bad influence on kids. If you were to say that now, you would just get laughed at. I think Dr. Phil is a fake

#19 ellen and all that
so the great controversy....creeds..values..gays on tv...etc.your opinion
It's too bad, but nowadays I guess people in the public eye have to have their T.V. persona and then also their personal persona that is kept from people.

#18 mooks and midriffs
comment on that....do you see where they are coming from?...has the mook and midriff strategy been successful for "the man"....how has it changed teenage life
I don't know why they are trying to make acting drunk and stupid cool. It has probably influenced alot of the bullying that goes on because the stereotype guy is supposed to be dick to anyone but his friends, especially "nerds"

the most memorable scene in the film and why
The most memorable part would porbably be scenes of kids of the school right after it happened, because you could see how horrific the event actually was just through the looks on their faces

#9 The great apology
a Tiger says sorry...well...did you buy it?/was he sincere?where do you stand on the affair of the century?/what does it teach us as students of the media explain
I would wait and see if he does change his life around before I take him seriously. I'm not saying I don't believe him I just think that after 19 affairs theres a good chance for a relapse.

#7 truman.....again
from the list of Truman questions completed in class.....pick one of them and expand on it...explain it further
Q. What practical circumstances would keep the show off the air?
A. any human rights organizations would disagree with this show, because it is taking a humans life and turing it into a set-up. He wasn't given the chance to build his life the way he wanted to. I'm sure if it went his way, he would've ended up with Sylvia, instead of his wife.

#5 the olympic tragedy
should it have been shown? explain
I think it should've been shown because it acts like an embarrasment to who screwed up and made the course to dangerous and ignored when people said so.
