Brain on Drugs

I had to show this one over the traditional 10 second “brain on drugs commercial”. The simple fact that there is a celebrity bringing it to you, has a bigger effect than just an egg and a pan.

Dieing To Be Tan?

I thought this was a good attempt at a social marketing ad. If I didn’t read the title of the video, I would of wondered what the video was about until the end. Ot was pretty effective.

(Old Post) Messages to the World…

Being told to walk around dropping little notes in random places was a little odd to me. It was also something I never thought of doing… it’s actually a productive thing!

So where did I decide to post? I went to the local Rite Aid by my house in Bay Ridge. It was late, so not many people were there, which was good because I was extremely nervous about what I was about to do. I walked through pharmacy section and headed straight for the condoms…

1- Having a baby cost a lot of money.

2- Don’t forget these!

3- Use me!

4- AIDS kills.

5- Herpes isn’t flattering.

6- Think about it.

7- Be responsible.

8- Safe sex is the best sex.

Posting these was a huge adrenaline rush. I kept looking around to make sure no one was around, but I had a couple of run-ins with a few young guys. I was happy to see they were heading in the right direction. They didn’t see me post the notes, but they saw me standing around the area. One guy laughed at the note “Herpes isn’t flattering”. I didn’t care, I was pleased with myself.

That day I wondered… why didn’t I think about doing something like this before? Don’t I want my opinions, my words, my thoughts heard even if they don’t know who I am? Anyway, it was a really great feeling!

I’m sorry guys…

I’m sorry Professor and class. I’m on the verge of getting my computer next weekend and haven’t been able to post anything on here at all! I have everything written down so as soon as i’m up and running, i’ll post them all at once. Sorry!

Maybe it’s the fact that i’m getting a little older (not much), and I have low tolerance for certain things… but this reading aggrivated me so much, I couldn’t finish reading it.

It’s cool to dive into things, like commercials, ads, to talk about them and read between the lines. But I truly feel like this person had a little too much time on their hands to pitch a fit. To go on and on for 5 pages about every little detail of the commercial, I just wasn’t into it. AT ALL!
