Bix box chain stores?


In a world of Wal-Mart, Target, Cosco, and Sam's Club one is made to wonder what's happening to our cute small business's like whatever happened to the neighborhood butcher or fresh fruit stand at the Farmer' Market or now everyone buys flowers bulk at the grocery store instead of a Flowershop or the shoe repair store where now people would just buy new shoes. I know i sound like a grandpa saying this but the quality of things are just not adequate anymore, or like a vacuum store and if there was a problem they would fix it and the people at the grocery store would know your name. I mean what happened to the old fashioned way things used to be.

Possibly the most suicide provoking comercial ever!


I don;t know if everyone has seen these commericals, but the recent LUNA carpet commercials are so weird and annoying! I'm sorry i had nothing better to blog about but these commercials are possibly the stupidest comercials on the planet, you know the one's with the wife sterotypicalyl being obsessed with her new carpet and giving it compliments and the husb and comes out of the bathroom laughing at her basically and i just think it is the worst advertisment for carpeting, like seeing a woman being in love with her carpeting does not make me want to go and get the carpeting, and now they're doing spin off;s of these comercials with like the man loving his hard wood floor;s and they are just really annoying and cheapily made but ironically happen to be sponcering every program i watch! If you havent seen them here is the link to one of the comericals. Also in the commercial check out how the man is just casually walking out of the open bathroom, like he couldn;t hear her or in the short duration he was in there; she came in and layed down on the floor starting to compliment her life-less carpet!

Junior Theme (HELP!)


For my Junior Theme I'm going to do how kids are a target for marketing and advertsing today and just how much kids consume or make their parents buy them things. I'm really interested in the subject and I have a good book and I'm excited but I'm having trouble finding more sources; like I've been looking online which I'm nervous about because some sources may not be legit and Mr. Bolos gave me a good book. But yea i think i still need to do alot of work before i start writing the solid paper or drafts.
