Colossal U ad Campaign

Personally, I don't think the ad was appropriate at all...they are telling us that everyone is exactly the same when clearly we are not..people think differently. Even though we are created in the image of God we are never gonna be alike. For example twins might look alike but there are certain characteristics that make them different or opposite from each other. The way they think is different. Another thing one twin can be taller than another twin and one can be quiet and the other might be loud. They have no right to tell us that we are the same and if they don't want new ideas and new thinking then they are telling us that all students from that university think alike..If there is no diversity how is it gonna work? This is ridiculous!! Students should instead be encouraged to do what they are good at not what the whole school is good at..This is saying that the university system is really boring and that they all think alike. Thus, after going to the website of Colossal University, I found out that it was a fake ad. Colossal University is not a real school. I guess they were just trying to make it more interesting and have a debate about it and promote Algoma University. I guess that was pretty smart but if students actually believed it then less students would want to go to that school. It was good but it causes controversy. I don't think they implied it good enough.

Gaming gone wild

I play a lot of video games at home. Rock Band especially, Mario, DDR,Ford Racing and many more... I think video games makes me feel less stressed but also causes laziness... Video games get you super addicted its like if you win one round you have to keep going on...The bad thing is you get addicted then you stop doing your other work like homework, socializing with friends, eating dinner with family or getting exercise and fresh air; instead you become a lazy couch potato.. A situation that had happened a month ago was "The Brandon Crisp" situation. It was when he ran away from home because him and his dad had an argument over his Xbox when he took it away from him and then few weeks later his body was found and was suspected that he fell off from a tree. We all know learn that video games are good once in awhile in life but you have to balance your life with homework, socializing with friends, and spending time with family.... Those are the many advantages and disadvantages of video games...They are indeed fun but also highly addicting and causes problems in your eyes because of the radiation from the television.

The Campaign Trail

Barack Obama's win was what everyone in America was waiting for and finally it came true. Hallelujah!! I think his ad was very meaningful of what a typical America is like. It was very intelligent, it is showing us the issues that America is dealing with such as the war in Iraq, people losing their jobs, people not being able to afford to buy medications because they don't have OHIP and free health care unlike Canada, and how much hurricanes they have dealt with in the past few years. Barack Obama understood America well. Knowing the fact that he was black and most of the presidents of The United States had been white, he had to surpass racist comments from certain people such as White supremacies and prove that he could be a great president and would do whatever it takes to make America a great country. The ad commercial was originally a beer commercial and using it people were more aware of those issues that are happening in America right now. That is why the ad was brilliant. All Hail Barack Obama!
