#14 Ellen ....and all that....

I loooove Ellen! She is a great woman and should not be judged for who she is.

#13 the Osbornes...the US or Canadian version?

I prefer the Canadian version on the Osbornes. If they felt that the swearing was inapropreate, and they needed to beep out the curses, it should not have been aired at all. As long as there is a warning at the beginning of the show, it shouldn't matter. Watching the show is completely up to you to begin with, if you don't like swearing, don't watch it. I don't mind it at all, so it doesn't bother me.

#12 Do YOU think we need to know all the details of Williams' crimes?

I am discusted with this man. I do not want to hear what he did to these poor woman, and their belongings. Its very creepy and very wrong. Sick and twisted people are out there, you hear about them all the time.. but they doesn't mean that it should be headline news. Its discusting, and turns everyones stomach.

#11 EMIN3M

- the man , the career, the interview, the controversy
First off, I LOVE Eminem. He's an amazing man, and very inspirational. His words mean so much, but he says so little. He uses strong words that make everything flow, and has lyrics that are easy to remember. The way he says things makes you think that the song was wrote for you, but its just his way of expressing himself.

#10 growing up online..follow up

different focus:
fast forward

how do you think you will monitor your son/daughter's online activity when they are 10 years old?
The family computer will be kept in the kitchen, and will have a limited time on it before it will log off automatically.
15 years old?explain.
Kids can find ways to find everything and anything. The computer will never be in their room, and will have a password on it that only I will know.

#9 why so popular?

in your response:
"silly bandz" are just another thing that will come and go. I had never heard of them until we talked about them in class, and then all of a sudden, I was seeing them everywhere. My sister has them up to her elbow and wants more.. Shes crazy, shes memorized them all too. I really want her I <3 JB one, its the best by far.
why do you think they are so popular now?
Kids love to have the attention, and show off the new toys they get. Its easier for them to carry around their new found obsession when they are around their wrist. they are brightly coloured, and cheap.
any down side to fads such as this?
They are a huge distraction in classes. They can hurt when they are snapped, and kids can be mean to eachother.
what fad do you remember participating in from your younger years?
I use to collect "Snubbies". They are little cats, and dogs made out of plastic with all different types of breads. Each set of pets came with their own accessory. I had over 100... What a waste of money that was. They came 5 in a set, for $10. I wish I could get that money back.

#8 watch video and comment:: Life without Twitter, Facebook? University tries

Facebook is a big part of what I do.. I keep in touch with family and friends with it, and talk to family who doesn't live close enough to make a cheep phone call. I could probably last a day without it, but it would be a challange.

#7 Your spoof ad print

what are you trying to accomplish with this ad?/ what approach are you taking?
My ad shows that things aren't always what they seem, and it was shown in a shocking way.
why do you think is will be an effective spoof ad?
It got right to the point, and showed what it was for.

#6 Howell: Social Network possibly the best movie of year - thestar.com

READ THE REVIEW OF THE "FACEBOOK" MOVIE AND EXPLAIN WHETHER OR NOT IT SOUNDS INTERESTING TO YOU
 
The trailor for the movie looks very interesting, and I would like to know what went on for Facebook to  be created. I heard that Mike had a really rough journey to get where it is today, and I'd like to know what exactly they were.

#5 bowling for columbine

What will you take from this? What will you remember?
This movie was very disturbing. It made me think about what must have been going inside their minds to be able to do this to the people they see everyday.. I will remember the fear they people had.. Its all I can think about when I hear Columbine.. I don't like it. Its so scary.

#1 our commercial world

one thought on this statement:

all media exist to make money

and / or

all media is in the hands of just a few people
 
Media can makes people, and it can also break people. It can be a great way to get your name out, but also can get the wrong attention, and create people who strongly dilike you.
