It's very ironic that advertisement has been around for so long and has been used for the same strategic purpose, to sell a product by playing on the the consumers wants, emotions, and beliefs. Before ads of ipods were used to show success and gain popularity(or at least make the targets believe that's what they would get if they purchased one. )They were used (ads of course.) to get people to buy items like boats by using the "pursuit of happiness" as a slogan.

Oops... honest to blog....media has done it again... or was it youth?
What role does media play on its viewers? Many blame things like the misconception of beauty and the rise of teen pregnancy in movies like Juno and culturally influential characters/celebrities like Britney spears and Paris Hilton. Many would even go to the extreme to say they are the direct representation of our countries youth. Can that really be true. personally I think it's up to the viewers to determine what they learn. Personally, I think that theory is pure speculation. Juno is an awesome movie. I've seen it thousand of times and still haven't got the urge to get pregnant. One of the most infamous celebrities of our generation is Britney Spears. Yeah I admit maybe I have a CD .. or ..all of them(Don't judge me .I'm willing to bet whoever read this entry knew at least three of her songs!!) but that doesn't mean I'm going to shave my head bald and become some punchline to rehab jokes. If anything she motivates me to be the exact opposite.
