Anti-Teens?
http://www.wnd.com/2012/04/the-anti-teens/?cat_orig=diversions
This article describes what an "anti-teen" is, and what makes them so great. To me, it seems as though the parent who wrote this is trying to shelter their child from the world by homeschooling them and making them believe that public schools encourage peer pressure, and that they should have absolutely nothing to do with today's culture.

Apple avoids taxes
http://www.smh.com.au/business/world-business/how-apple-avoids-paying-billions-in-tax-20120430-1xuqc.html
when your this rich you have to be crafty to become even more rich. Apple has taken up a location in Reno Nevada to avoid the high taxes in California. This is possible because Reno is so close to California that travel isn't effected much. Apple is expected to earn $43.5 billion this fiscal year, breaking the record for any business revenue. It would seem that Apple still can survive without Steve Jobs.

Dove Evolution Commercial
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hibyAJOSW8U
I remembered seeing this commercial a while ago and thought it to be very accurate. With all of the influences, it doesn't shock me that we, as a society, have a distorted view of what beauty is. Since airbrushing, photoshop, and tons of makeup have become the norm for our culture, I wonder how people can even try to live up to the expectation of what beauty is "supposed" to be.

Privacy Online, Whats That?
http://www.nytimes.com/2012/04/22/fashion/your-privacy-is-tested-with-every-click-you-make.html?_r=1&ref=advertisingandmarketing
This article discusses how, when you are online, you have no privacy. Everytime you look something up, post a comment on Facebook, or click on an advertisement, you are being monitored. True, there are privacy settings on sites, but they really seem to make it very difficult. According to this article, "figuring out how to activate a site’s privacy control settings sometimes feel as if it requires a graduate degree in tiny print". Another good point that this article brings out, is how privacy is now a choice rather than a given.

US Teen Birth Rate at Record Low
http://thechart.blogs.cnn.com/2012/04/10/u-s-teen-birth-rate-drops-to-a-record-low/
The teen birth rate has dropped 9 percent from last year, and is at a record low from 1946. The rate is 34 teen births per 1,000 women. A mixture of things have influenced this, including public programs for help, and increased use of various birth control methods. The US still falls behind other countries, such as Canada, which has 14 teen births per 1,000.

McDonald's Advertisement
https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-eapKsMG9No4/T14LGVtskVI/AAAAAAAARII/vt0qqPxX7HQ/anti-mcdonalds-ads.jpg
So, I'm not a big fan of McDonalds, and this ad kind of cemented that for me. Their slogan is "I'm Lovin' It" but it is put on a person who has obviously been eating too much fast food. The entire ad just grosses the viewer out and doesn't entice them to eat McDonalds

Since the Olympics are in London this year, it's a picture of Big Ben with a basketball hoop on it and a kid shooting a ball towards the hoop. Another kid is standing on top. The entire thing is an ad for Bank of China and VISA.

"Thank-You Mom" P&G Campaign
http://www.nytimes.com/2012/04/17/business/media/mothers-get-the-glory-in-procter-gamble-campaign.html?_r=1
The new Proctor & Gamble Campaign this year is reported to be the best so far. Through this campaign, they are thanking the mothers of existing Olympians, and even the mothers of future Olympians. The ad lasts one minute and 20 sec. , and it shows mothers supporting their young Olympians by making them a good breakfast, driving them to their practice, and then going home to clean up with P&G products(Tide, Swiffer, ...) I think this ad will be extremely effective. Because even if Moms don't rush off to buy these products, it will make them feel good about themselves, and all they do as moms. It will be especially effective for stay-at-home moms, moms that already have kids in sports, and even future mothers. Which will in turn, be good for P&G.

Olympics
I Think it will be effect to the woman who watch this with kids but i don't think it was right of them to use the Olympics like they did and try to trick us into this. Its just weird kinda but its the norm anymore so I don't think people will think twice of this.
Mothers get Glory
I think its great that the advertising theme of mothers this year for the olympics is a great idea. Proctor & Gamble, being the worlds largest advertiser, will get much attention to the olympics. This is a great idea to attract more females and families to watch, and see that they are appreciated for their hard work for their kids.
Procter and Gamble Mothers/Olympics Campaign
Here is a great article detailing P&G's latest promotional tie-in with the Olympics. P&G is the world's largest advertiser, spending more than $3 Billion last year- Tide, Pampers, Charmin, Cascade, Bounty, Duracell, Nyquil....you have these and many other of their brands in your home!

Nokia Lumia 900
I remember when i got my first phone, it was a Nokia brick phone and that thing was built to last! although since the major technology boom I haven't really seen any up to date phones from Nokia. They decided to come back with this Nokia Lumia 900. What makes it special is that it apparently has everything the Iphone and android has along with working with Windows software BUT the catch is that it's so much cheaper! cheaper then that of any droid or Iphone.I predict that this phone will make a major impression and maybe hopefully bring the prices of its' competitors down!
