Anti-smoking messages to appear on DVDs

October 24, 2006

I just read on msnbc.com that film industry veterans Bob and Harvey Weinstein will put anti-smoking video messages on DVDs of movies in which people smoke, a move sought by U.S. states to combat teen smoking.  “These messages will fight false film images of healthy and hip smokers with the real hard truth of addiction [...]

Elevator that killed student overloaded

October 24, 2006

Wow, today I read an article on cnn.com that said a dormitory elevator pinned and killed an Ohio State University freshman because it was overloaded.  This was according to authorities who have not determined whether the extra weight caused a malfunction.  Twenty-four people had crowded into an elevator on which Andrew Polakowski, 18, of Erie, Pennsylvania, was killed Friday night.  The [...]

Dennis Green

October 19, 2006

This press conference after the Monday Night Football game is very interesting because Head Coach, Dennis Green was very upset after a disappointing game and his emotions got the best of him.  In the situation that Green was in, you would want to keep your composure and answer the questions from [...]

Dove Ad Evolution

October 18, 2006

This video is easily one of the most interesting but yet disturbing videos that I have seen.  I knew that many models were airbrushed for advertisements and such, but I never realized to what extent.  This video puts things into a much better perspective.  Of course many people knew about the [...]

Baseball Stadium Ads

October 18, 2006

While watching the baseball playoff game tonight I notcied that behind home plate on the wall there were always advertisements.  What I never noticed before was that during a replay, you can see that the spot where the ad was is now a blank green space.  This means that the advertisement isn’t actually on the wall.  [...]

Family Guy Asian Joke

October 17, 2006

Being Chinese has lead many Asian jokes in my life.  One big stereotype and common joke has been the fact that Asian’s are great in math.  Over time, my friends have teased me about it such as times when it is time to split up the bill after going out to [...]

Head On 3rd Commercial???

October 17, 2006

Little did I know that Head On actually made a 3rd commercial. I have yet to see this one on television yet, but when browsing on YouTube I stumbled upon it. This commercial is like the 2nd one except it has a female as the spokesperson.  The woman says “Head On [...]
