Good commercials?

So this is painful. You can do things like athletes, without being an athlete. Walking is as good as running. BUSPH PSA. There's an acronym for you. "Emulate atheletes; you can be like those athletes. You can feel like you're Nomar."

Second option: Sunscreen, Protection for your pleasure. And spermicide.
"These students wanted to use a stronger core value. So they used sex. Use sunscreen because you're gonna have sex, right now."

Fruit and vegetable (inter)course: Sex and small carrots. And making fun of awkward American kid. Health food is easier to make food porn with, because healthy people aren't aroused by cheeseburgers. Other uses of food porn: anorexia web sites. This is the horror version.

Bad Commercials!

That was depressing. American Lung Association video: Child abuse - yelling, screaming...second hand smoke.
This is your emotional response, advertising theory, non-rational decision-making at work.

Suzie's parents never told her about drugs. They never told her that drugs maim. Drugs kill. There was one lesson Suzie had to learn on her own: How to freebase? Or huff? Try another take on "This is your brain on drugs."

Our kids are fat. The facts are clear, gibberish and ballroom dancing. This makes sense to you, and therefore must be effective. Siegel "Obesity is this really dark, dark, terrible thing. What they're doing is stigmatizing people who are obese. It's labeling them." Is it stigmatizing ballroom dance as well? This one was made for an anthro class, it comes up under the same search terms in Youtube.

Ethnic slurs

In his summary of Seminar 4 results, we've heard "Gypped" and "Wopped," what's next?

If you don't know who these offend, maybe that's a good thing?

Hip-Hop Hooray for Public Health

Time For Change - Boston rapper? Michael Sermac? Attack on obesity and fast food companies exploiting people.
See Dead Prez - Be Healthy, quite a bit better.

And Sammy's song, "To Niantic" - about the United States. Plus guitar. "To niantic, To Wellesley, To Boston, to Brookline..." obvious Johnny Cash "I've been everywhere" influence, but with the enunciation and the harmonica, he's more into Dylan. "To so many places that I've never seen." This is deep. Also, not having had such a large audience before, he's cracking under pressure, and may actually laugh himself blue. He does have a strong closing yell, very David Lee Roth.

And he plays the straight-man...

Sammy's a great backup for stage comedy.
Now for the Louis Vuitton ad - it's either for Big Love or A River Runs Through It, though the hammered dulcimer in the background is nice.
Does the person create the journey, or does the journey create the person?
Do you have enough money to travel the world to find yourself? Waste it here instead.
Do you suffer from anomie? Buy an identity.
Self-actualization through couture.
I bet the four people in here with expensive handbags are hiding them.

Hello Children!

There's a toothless miscreant running around on stage. Rousing applause for Sammy!
