Media Laws

During the United States Opening, cute little kids were reciting the pledge of Allegiance and the phrase, "Under God" was censored out.  NBC did this to not anger people but it had the reverse effect.  The majority of America are very angry and the CEO of NBC had to come out and expressed their apologies.  Do they have the rights to do this?  Under God is a central part of the pledge and it seems as if it's an attack on Christianity.  If NBC was broadcasting a sport show in Islam, would their allegiance pledging loyalty to their god be censored out?  Most likely not.

Propaganda in Advertising/PR (20)

This commercial use the technique called join the crowd.  They use the fact that the jets are winning and people's natural desire to be on the winning side to make this ad.

Facebook kills

I remember one time when I was surfing the web and I came across a particularly interesting news headline.  "Man kills wife because of facebook"  I clicked on the link and the story talk about how the man opens up hid facebook and sees his wife who has changed her relationship status to single.  The couple has been seperated for a while and upon seeing this, the man drives up to his wife's house and murders her.  I think it's stupid to let your emotion take hold of you like that.  Sometimes you have to accept reality and calmly approach it.  It's never right to kill someone.  That life doesn't belong to you.  Makes me mad whenever I see people doing dumb things like this.

This movie.... Is a romantic comedy but its so funny.  I cried laughing.  Then I just choked up on tears.  Never have I seen a movie at this level of comedy and still be super romantic too.  Every time I go on a second date, it is to watch this movie.  That being said, I've watched this many times and I still laugh every time I watch it.
