Boom Chick a Wa Wa Girls

I was surprised that the ad for the chick a wa wa girls was so sexually sudective. The video was bad, it had so many messages in it. It was sick. The whole video was dumb. Starting with the doing through someones nose and being really sexual. To the housewife type ironing clothes. The stuff she said was horrible about "what about the next day" or something like that. It was bad. I can't believe it was on there.
The most surprising part of the ad I feel is that it is by the same company 'Dove'. That is horrible. Dove stands for inner beauty and they push that on people to be your true self. The ads that Dove uses are showing 'real' people how they look. Then to be in association with an ad like that surprises me. I wonder why they would do that. I would think they are better than that. Especially since Dove is a well known brand.

School Shooting

The school shooting incident is crazy. Why was this kid even allowed in a school. He seemed to have so many problems before. This kid was insane and scary. I thought the part of the description of clothes was using some stereotypes. They made him look by description to be a gothic, or devilish person. He dressed this way though to be protrayed this way. This story just scares me. The threats were made and no one did anything about it, even though he pulled stunts like this all the time. The warnings should have been taking more seriously, especially the warning that was said. These were not little threats. What bothers me; is why are kids who are so bad able to attend school with everyone? The kid is similar to the kid at Virginia Tech. There were signs in that case too. This is a horrible incident.

Guest Speaker on JENA 6

I really enjoyed the guest speaker on Friday. She was easy to listen too. I liked hearing her experience at the Jena 6 march. She seemed to be a very diverse and strong woman. I thought it was an interesting point someone brought up in the class, when they asked her, "Do you have children and did you take them?" I thought this was a good point.
They march had reasoning behind it, with a common theme to people of what they experienced in the past or what the future would be like, depending on this situation. I was surprised she did not take her children. The little one I could understand, but the 12 year old was interested. Seems like it was a tough choice for her, because on one hand you want the child to experience this, but than on the other, the safety of the child. This march could have gone in so many ways. I understood why she did not take her because she was doing work, but it might have been beneficial to the child if she went. I just thought it was a cool point someone brought up. It was neat to hear different reasons why people went to Jena.
