RE: Colossal U Ad Campaign

HUH!?

When I first saw the advertisement I just couldn't believe it! I didn't really understand what this university was trying to advertise. With phrases like "New Ideas? New Thinking? Not At Colossal U." It made me think, who would want to go to a university like this? Doesn't this advertisement want to make people not join this university? Can Colossal university be anymore smarter!? It was like no one who went here was treated as a person.

This made me want to visit the website, just to see why or what is really up with this. I went on http://www.colossalu.com/ and it seemed real at first but something popped up. It was like a video or something, and this girl started talking about a university. A university completely opposite what Colossal University was. This university was called Algoma University.

Listening to what Algoma University was made completely forget about Colossal University. After that, I definitely knew what this advertisement was trying to portray. This advertisement was trying to get a viewers attention by saying really bad stuff about the university and it definitely got my attention. It made you want to visit the site and see what was up with this and when you did visit the site it showed you about how good a university like Algoma is compared to Colossal.

I say this advertisement was a very smart way to catch someone's attention. it was a great way to play with your head and it made you want to see why or what is going on with Colossal University. No one wants to go to a university that doesn't welcome you. This advertisement was very unique and it can definitely help make Algoma University known.

RE: Gaming Gone Wild

3.2.1. start!

Video games have been a part of children's lives for generations. People grow up with gameboys, xbox's, playstations, etc. and it's amazing to see how many people use and play video games.

It's always cool to have the latest video games that are out but I really don't see why it's so addicting. Personally, I do have a video game system but i got it when I was 9. Ever since then I never bought a video game. It seemed really pointless and a waste of money. Sure it's fun and all but I definitely could live a life without video games.

Video games are not always bad. It definitely is fun to play video games. The colour, the graphics, the characters, all together help make the game interesting. What's best is playing with your friends. Video games is a great way to have fun and connect with others online. It helps you develop tactics and strategy to solve these puzzles in the game.

Video games to me is fun at times but I wouldn't waste the money for it. Video games can distract you at times and when it affects your school work, you know its time to lay it off. Some people love it some people hate it but video games will always be a part of a teenager's life.

RE: The Campaign Trail

It was intelligent of Obama to take a well known commercial and use it as his own. He kept the same concept and script but he added things that relate to America and its problems to help show how much change they need change.

The first commercial was very humorous, and showed the guys having fun. It seemed perfect, no problems no issues just hanging out having a Bud. "WASSUP!" "WASSUP!" "WASSUP!"

The commercial Obama made was still sort of humorous but at the same time it brought out a deep message. The guys this time weren't hanging out having a Bud, this time they all each had a problem that America could relate to. Problems included: Unemployment, health care, the war in Iraq, stock's decreasing and environmental issues.

Obama's message explained that America itself needed change. They have so many issues and problems and by voting for him, he could help them. He took a really funny and popular commercial and made it his own by showing America its problems. That's why Obama is the president.

Yes We Can!
