Movie Blog About Advertisements

I think that this speech was strongly stated and almost a bias point of view. I absolutely support the beliefs of women equality and power(not Hillary CLinton though!). The speaker made some strong statements and had good reasoning for most of her speech but could have taken a different view on a few of the topics.

For instance, the section she brought up about the males being portrayed as the adventurous type while girls are all stand offish was kind of an iffy and opinionated. I do believe she had the evidence toward this but it wasn’t defending a strong theory. Girls enjoy the fact that they are more inteligent and better decison makers then guys, therefore naturally less adventurous. I believe this to be true, not necessarily in all cases however. I think that there are exceptions to that and also the fact that girls try in some cases to flaunt unintelligence and shy characteristics. I think the adventurous male and shy female theory is more based on actual personality traits and human normalities. That advertisements are just keying in on the facts in that situation. Again, there are exceptions. This was a strongly stated video clip but you have to pick out some of the parts and examen them for yourself to see what strikes your values.

Crime

Well seeing as I'm a pretty big fan of all the Oceans movies I would have to say they put a lot of my criminal ideas into my head because they involve comedy in a serious action that risks their lives which is how I would want to go about things as well. If I wasn't going to get caught then that would make it less of an adrenaline rush but also more of an allure, even though I don't know how that would work out cause if i was going to commit a crime it would probably be something along the lines of theft. I'm no kleptomaniac but at the same time I would want it to benefit me in the long run; I'm a person of opportunity and think that some people are blessed with better ones then others. Back to the point: if i was going to steal something, without being caught, then I would be a big deal and a beneficial robbery. Again, tying into the movie thing. It would be big, maybe not in size but value, and it would be from someone who could afford to loose it, aka an extravagantly, richie-mic-rich person. It would go down in history as one of the biggest scandals ever to occur. So what it comes down to that I would probably steel some sort of fine jewel from a Swiss bank.

Trashy Mic Trash Bag - Previous assginment

The trash bag. Ah...such a useful piece of technology that no one really takes a second to appreciate. All the hassles and time it saves. Being such a common, everyday, luxury tool tho it's just a standard in household necessities for the high pace life most everyone lives and most hate. From the mansions where the owners never think about replacing them to the slums where they're not put in trash cans because they actually serve as a trash can, being emptied in a nearby dumpster and then brought back in to be refilled.Its partner the trash CAN, are a dynamic duo in the fight against an inconvenience. So many daily issues that who has time these days to not use a trash bag? Implying they can afford them. This brings me to my next point with the fact that I called them luxury. They aren't required inside the trash can they just prevent future time wasted that could have been on something more important like Tv.Trash bags are an awesome thing though so don't be fooled! They are stretchy now so we can cram that much more in them and now they also don't even rip! OOOO...AHHHH... so spiffy! Think of what we would have to do without them! Actually deal with tones of paper pieces, dripping and oozing, smells, and carrying individual pieces to the trash instead of a ginormace heep of them. What a stress reliever they are in the end, so take a sec and give your trash bag pat on the back.

2 am in the mornin with nothin but undies!

Bam! So here you are, standing in the coffee isle trying to pick out which would make the ideal brew for your 2 a.m. drunkin-ness. Will it be the Costa Rican dark or the Fair Trade type that you read about in the world news last Sunday? Or will it even be the generic Folgers, "its a great time waking up when you have Folgers in your cup...yat yat yat," you mumble in your obscured mind. You can't think straight because those cocktails are shrouding both your thoughts and your vision. This all seems like an almost normal trip to store besides the manifesting intoxication until you notice something. A chill just crept over you and the realization that your lower half is cold do to a slight breeze. You think, "no way, this is not really happening," as you look down, your heart sinks to an embarrassing low. You are currently standing in a super market with only your underwear on! Not just any however, your super small pink, lace thong aka your favorite pair. The stun slap wears off and you recognize that you have to do something here! You attempt to stretch your long sleeve shirt over your exposed butt. Slam! Down you go! Drunk, on the ground, and in your underwear you've never felt so liable. The funny thing is that its two in the morning, the only people shopping are in isles over and there isn't many at that, just the weirdo's and people that hate crowds. You stand up with the little dignity you think you have, attempt to stretch the shirt again, and run outside to your car, hoping no one saw you. Once there you start to think of why exactly you were in that predicament in the first place....hmmm....

Garbage Truck of Negativity

I can't admit I came up with the idea behind this theory because I didn't, but I liked it enough that I thought I'd give you the down low on it because its something that has been good reference for me at times. The thought goes like this: we all know that there are several times in our lives when people have upset us and we have upset other people in the same way. Well one way to become a better person and not let that negativity engross our everyday lives is to look at negative feed back and agree people as a garbage truck. I'm sure your telling yourself that's crazy but its just a metaphorical way to take an outlook on your surrounding people that come across in a unhappy way. If you choose to be a grouch then so be it, but if that's not what you want then you can give this a try.
This is just an easier way to look at and establish the bad mood setting situations. Once you have reached that state of recognition, then you can package it as a garbage truck and make what you want of it. Whether you choose to let it affect your mood is entirely up to you. But if you want to be a more happy-go-lucky kinda person then you can us the garbage truck outlook and dump that negative waste off to the side and move on. For example, a lot of people have issues and conflicts with driving on a regular basis, or just now and then. Well if you take that persons negativity that just swerved and cut you off and label it a trash truck and then dispose of it and not ride their ass or flash inappropriate hand gestures then it won't ruin your day. If you don't let things bother you then you wont have such a problem with passing that onto other people and therefor you have formed a more peaceful world. This doesn't mean you can't use helping tools in snuffing out the anger, such as calm music, it's just a way to label it. I hope you remember this theory and try if out sometime on something that used to anger your emotions.
