These deceptive forms of advertising are horrible. Did you know that right now physiologists are watching your every move? That is really disturbing. They’re finding out what makes you tick to sell a company’s product. That is one of the worst forms of advertising, but others are bad too like building brand name loyalty, immersive, viral, and buzz advertising are among other forms of deceptive advertising. Advertisers use these forms of advertising to get into your head.

Companies using psychologist to get inside kids heads is very unethical. Psychologists are supposed to help people not sell a company’s product. By doing this they’re building brand name loyalty with children as young as six months of age. The psychologist do anything they can to find out what makes you tick and when they do it’s put right out there with a kid and a dollar sign right next to that. It’s the same thing with the McDonald’s rapper. Using brand name loyalty they got kids to think that anything in a McDonald’s rapper tasted better even a carrot. This means that you can stick anything in that rapper on a fishing rod you’d be reeling kids in faster than ever.

Viral advertising would be the worst and most deceptive form of advertising. Companies are putting their ads on the computers and sites like face book and MySpace. This also means that people on these sites can send these ads to people on their friends list. Another thing that gets people to buy their product is that they’re seen before videos that kids are apt to watch. The problem with this is that when kids click on and send these ads viruses start messing with your computer. This shows that no good can come out of this viral advertising.

Buzz or street marketing is one of the most effective forms of advertising out there. It’s where companies find a famous kid star or even the coolest kid in communities to endorse their product. This is effective because kids look up to these people and say if they have it I want it. This is happening in every community and that is how companies sell their products. They’re saying who wouldn’t want something somebody cool or famous has.

In conclusion no good can come out of these deceptive and unethical forms of advertising. All you get is a bunch of underpaid people in third world countries and a bunch people buying too much of the same product. These “advertising companies could one day take over the world” as stated by Susan Linn in our SKYPE interview. If we don’t act fast soon speed bumps will be golden arches and our schools will be McDonald’s.

People think a carrot tastes better when it’s rapped in McDonald’s rapper for many reason.  They do because of psychology and advertising and street marketing.   These people mostly kids are taught at a young age to know and like certain products.  It is put in their minds McDonald’s rapper equals good.  At lot of this is their parents fault, but it is also the advertisers fault.  They are like controlling the kids minds saying come get fatter.  Another reason is on TV you see a lot of famous people in the drive through and say if that person ate it it must be good.  So if you want to go the other way go ahead, but for the rest of you the drive through is now open late.

Advertisers use psychology to get people to buy, wear or even use their product. These ads are mainly targeted at young children because they are tomorrow’s consumer. These ads can get kids as young as 6 months of age to know the logo or product. They do this through TV, internet, radio, video games and movie previews. The companies build brand name loyalty by getting rid of production here and sending it to countries with cheap labor. This way they can worry about getting their product out their through brand name loyalty. Buzz or Street Marketing is when a company a coolest kid or kids in a community to wear or use their product. This creates a buzz and soon everyone has it. Some advertisers market R-rated movies to underage kids. They use the TV and the internet to do this. They use the TV by showing previews for it when kids are most likely to be watching TV. They use the internet by using previews on websites kids go to.

N. Korea is a very depressing place to be in right now.  Many things are going wrong for the people.  The goverment is using propaganda and censorship against the people.  Propaganda is when information is spread for promoting a cause.  Censorship is when information is removed or withheld by a controlling group or body.  They used censorship by only letting certain people talk to the forieners and having someone in the goverment in hearing distance os everyone.  Propaganda was used by always making you bow to the statue of the leader which was promoting he was great.

China’s Internet is very interesting.  They have much stricter laws on the Internet then we do.  Since they are communist they control the Internet.  The have animated people popping up every 30 minutes on every computer saying not to go to bad sites.  They use censorship because they don’t want people to go to sites talking about their communist government.  What is very interesting about this is that most people don’t spend their time going to bad sites.  They spend most of it trying to get around these laws.  this article really opened my eyes because we have firewall and stuff, but that still doesn’t stop us from going to bad sites and we can’t get arrested for saying bad things about our  government or reading about it.  I think this needs to be stopped.

This article is telling about how President Pervez Musharraf took away all media outlets.  This happened on Sunday November 3rd.  It happened because of reports defaming the President, the administration or his military.  He silenced the media because he wanted to have total control over his people. He doesn’t want the people to rebel against him and it was hard for them to do this because they had no media outlets to find out what he was doing.  The other side of the story is that the stuff was shut down because of control problems with the station.  He should shut down the media because it would mean he would have more power.  The effect of this is many boycotts.

Our children’s book was called “The Story of Carter and The Box” and it came out nice. It was how I pictured it. We used personification by giving the dinosaur polka dots and we gave a candy cane super powers. We used a simile by saying the dinosaur scooped up people like shovel and ate them. We used a hyberbole by saying the dinosaur was 50 feet tall. The mood at the beggining was like supicious and is he going to open it. The when Carter got mad it was anger and strength. The mood at thee end was like Carter saved the day so everyone was happy. Turning the story into a digital book was worth it bbecause it was fun and know more people can see it which is nice. It was fun working with the macs. Next time I would pick different music and have it more organized.
