Flavored Vodka?

The targeted audience for the Flavored Russian Vodka ad would be for people who can legally drink and want to try something new. When if first saw this ad it seemed like the two women are checking someone out. I think the type of magazine that this ad would be in would be a travel magazine because the Vodka is Russian. I do not think it's an effective ad because it doesn't make me want to run to BevMo and buy flavored Vodka. The ad would be more interesting if it had the different colored Vodka, because people like colors. The ad promotes lifestyles that are outgoing, fun, entertaining, and dangerous (in a good way). The ad implies that if people do not try new things, they will not know whether they like them or not. 

What is Dolce & Gabbana selling? Guess!

I picked this ad because Dolce & Gabbana is a good brand for cologne that I own, so I can relate to the brand. In this ad, there is a young woman that is washing dishes and it looks like she has quite a few dishes to wash. She also looks surprised I don't know why. From this ad I cannot tell what Dolce & Gabbana is trying to sell to customers. I do know it might be clothes since there is a woman wearing a nice party dress. The only few things that I know that Dolce & Gabbana sell would be clothes or fragrances and this ad might be for that. If this ad did not have the name, I would be even more confused. Maybe they would be selling dishes, dish soap, clothes, curtains, or food? I would read this ad if it was in a magazine because I love Dolce & Gabbana, especially their colognes. Well maybe in some parts of the country it would be a bad thing to imply that women are second-hand citizens, but woman today have great jobs and can choose to be housewives or not.
 

Gotta Have 150 Friends?

In Robin Dunbar's essay, Gotta Have 150 Friends, he states that people can only "maintain" 150 friends on Facebook. To "maintain" 150 friends on Facebook means that the person has to know those 150 friends really well. But I even think that that 150 Friends is way too high! For someone to actually know everything about 150 people is impossible, unless they have no lives and that's all they do all day. People need to distinguish the difference between real close friendships and acquaintances. Recently I got an event request on Facebook from an acquaintance and she lost all her phone contacts and sent that event to over 1000 friends!!! I was like "There is no way in h*** that she can keep up with over 1000 friends!!!" I decided not to give her my number because we don't really talk. :)

 

Premier Blog (First Blog)

   Well this is my very, very first blog and I hope people like it! My name is Benjamin G. and this is my first semester at the Santa Rosa Junior College. I am studying environmental engineering and after the J.C. I want to transfer to Cal Poly. In my first blog, I am going to be writing about a funny advertisement that I found online.
   In this ad Slim Fast is being sold to women who are about to have their wedding. I think that if women drink enough Slim Fit they can get thinner and feel good about how they look. From the research I did about Slim Fit, it states that it is a "Healthy Ready to Eat Meal" that is 99% fat free, has 24 vitamins and minerals, and has only 220 calories. If women do not drink Slim Fit, they might just fall right through the floor just like the bride topping fell through the cake.
