degrading women ads post #4

The two ads I ran across while looking for ones to post about are. First the one on the right a women licking an ice cream cone cause its hot outside and old spice saying if u where our cologne women will lick u and eat you just because u smell good. The second one I found our two Coors light girls promoting the adult beverage buy painting them selves like the bottle and being completely  topless while promoting it buy saying Coors light its the sexy hot alcohol beverage to drink. Jean Kilborne would object to both of these pictures because one in the Coors light ad the women's body now are an object at which one should buy, and another objection she would say is just because I women is eating ice cream on a hot day doesn't mean that cologne and ice cream go together.

Comparison Blog

in this blog I have to compare one of our readings to Everything Bad is Good for You. the reading that I'm choosing to pick is the Futile pursuit of happiness . In everything bad is good for you they talk about how TV makes you sit back and relax  and the internet makes you lean forward and interact with the computer. He also talks about his nephew and how he was playing the video game sims with him and he turns to his uncle after playing it a while and says you need to lower your industrial taxes to make money. In pursuit of happiness they talk about how people try to predict that one thing or one event will make them more happier and better off in life when really it doesn't. If you think about what I just said and think about the game that and steven Johnson playing with his nephew. when they are playing the game everything that they do in the game they think is bettering their odds at playing but if you look at the big picture it really doesn't in the long wrong they will have to change what ever they did eventually to be happy for a short while.

Generation Like Blog

Today I'm blogging about a video we watched in class the other day about generation like. The two main topics I picked to write about are how he compared social media to hunger games, and how companies see it as a promotional opportunity. My first topic I want to talk about and what I think is the main point of the video is how he compared hunger games to social media.Take Katniss Everdeen, And Peeta Mellark in the movie they are put into a world where they have to fight to stay alive. They have to get sponsors and people to like them to help them live longer in the game. There is a person they call the Game Maker that runs the Hunger Games and calls every shot on what will happen or when someone gets help from a sponsor. That starts me off with my second topic with how big time companies see it as a promotional opportunity. If u think of Tyler Oakley a famous you tuber from the video. He was talking about taco bell and how they gave him free tacos and free stuff to promote their food on his YouTube blogs. The reason why I picked these two topics is, if you think about it life these days to be famous or well known is like hunger games. You need sponsors(big companies) who want you to promote their stuff and give u gifts too, and just like my title a lot of people who LIKE you cause likes in the social world is like money.

first blog for popular cultures

I think what Malcom is talking about is a little bit of both natural and synthetic happiness. Synthetic happiness is when people cat get what they exactly want and have to find ways to make them selves happy with what they have available. For example when he talks about Ragu only having one kind of spaghetti sauce for its customers and nothing else. I would say that's synthetic happiness because people had to do with what they had and made the best of it. Malcom also talks about when Ragu made more then one sauce to make everyone happy and became the top seller of spaghetti sauce. I would say he then is describing natural happiness. Natural happiness is when people get what they want and are happy. Ragu gave people natural happiness by doing exactly that, making more then one type of sauce.
