Your Baby Can Read
Now THIS is something that I was really interested in. I don’t have a child. But I watched the ad for this product and was really amazed. The man who invented this explained that he had a routine for teaching his infant daughter to …
CVM News Watch
Whenever I can’t get to watch the news programme “Prime Time News Headlines” or, there is some major newsworthy event I want another perspective on, I watch the “CVM News Watch” programme. It is a news programme that starts at eight in the night on one of our local …
Packers Dope Sheet
Now that football season (well, pre-season) is starting again, I am once again making my weekly visit to Packers.com in order to read their weekly dope sheet.
When it comes to lead up to games, the Packers Dope Sheet is probably the best place to gain a full understanding about …
Citi Never Sleeps (Citibank credit card commercial)
I have seen a couple of these campaigns and they are always inventive. In this ad the back of a woman’s head is shown. She has a pair of drumsticks tucked in the chignon of her hair. The caption over her head reads: “Some women hit …
Alan Magnus Radio Personality
The Jamaican radio personality Alan Magnus has worked on Real Jamaican Radio or RJR as it is most commonly known for a very long time. In fact, I think he might just be the radio personality working there the longest. One can listen to him on weekday mornings from …
Two Forever Lenox Rings (magazine ad)
I have never seen a ring advertised in a magazine that is as tacky as this one. The gemstones representing the various months is not even enough to make these rings seem precious enough that I would want to buy one to commemorate a relationship. In any …
The Writer magazine
At first look The Writer seems like an unimpressive and overpriced magazine. It does not have any flashy or attractive design; it is quite thin and it is printed on a thin paper. But once you actually look inside, riches can be found. As an aspiring writer, I have …
Pandora Radio (www.pandora.com)
Pandora is an online personalized radio station. You can play your station on any computer using login information. There is nothing to download.

12 Noon Workout on 106.1 Philadelphia Pa
My office always has our radio station tuned to 106.1 in Philadelphia, Pa. Usually I tune out whatever is playing and concentrate on the phone calls I am making for work. Today I was work on some paperwork between noon and 12:30 and heard the “12 Noon Workout” on …
TV Guide
For the majority of my lifetime, I’ve received the TV Guide. The magazine as it is today, though, is night and day from what it once was. This is mostly because of two things — the internet and cable TV with its programming guide. The days of …
The Trix Rabbit
A good marketing campaign is one that spans the test of time, and such is the case with the Trix rabbit.
I grew up watching this silly rabbit on TV. As I enjoyed bowls full of the fruity puffs of cereal, I giggled over the television ads of the …
Its Just Some Random Guy, Youtube channel
Comedy sketches using action figures is not a new concept. I remember in the early 1990’s, Jon Stewart (later the host of The Daily Show) made a short using Barbie dolls to parody the survival film, Alive. Probably the most well known example of this comedy style …
BLENDER magazine
BLENDER magazine is nonstop fun fun fun. I have a lot on my mind and do a lot of heavy intellectual reading — because I like to, frankly — and this magazine is always a great vacation from worry and deep thought. For example, every month they feature …
WPOC
One of the best country music stations I believe in the country is our own WPOC. This station is involved in our community. They have really good traffic reports in the morning and the afternoon. They keep you informed of what is going on that will effect you …
Life in Hell: A Baghdad Diary by Aparisim Ghosh
I just read an article in the August 14,2006 Time Magazine. It details the life of a Time Magazine writer in Baghdad. It is an important thing to read. It is sad, it is tragic, it should and will affect people’s opinion of the war in Iraq. If you …
Preview Magazine
Heidi Klum once said that in fashion, ” one day you’re in, the next day you are out”. What she meant was this fashion industry is very competitive that it is progressing everyday. We need a fashion bible to keep us posted with the latest style. There are Vogue, …
Progressive Insurance Ads
Being that I’m no spring chicken anymore, I’ve seen more commercials in my lifetime than I’d care to admit. That’s why when a fun group of ads come along, it’s worth mentioning, especially since I use that wonderful remote control to avoid most commercials these days.
Being commercialed-out, it’s …
Mix96 - KYMX 96.1 - Christmas Season
Radio Station KYMX in Sacramento, referred to as Mix96, launches into a holiday season of music each and every year, though it’s not always the same. Two years ago, Christmas music began after Thanksgiving. I eagerly looked forward to a repeat last year and was ultra disappointed …
Aqualumiere Gloss by Chanel (magazine ad)
Chanel is one of those brands that will always stand out because of its reputation. That reputation is one of distinction, extreme sophistication, luxury, and even excess. The lip gloss they’re marketing should be no exception. And to display that, they chose a very …
GoDaddy Danica Patrick commercial campaign
Danica Patrick has been a GoDaddy girl for a couple of years now. It’s intriguing for a number of reasons. GoDaddy is a webhost that performs a number of website, server, and domain issues. You would think that they’d want to have a serious reputation. …
CRNTalk with Robert Conrad: James Darren radio show
CRNTalk with Robert Conrad featured an interview with one of my all time favorite performers, James Darren, on July 22, 2010. The interview is available on the internet, if you’d like to listen to it. I’d recommend doing a search for the show to find a site …
Prayer For Baby Obama (YouTube video)
You know, I didn’t really know what to make of this particular parody on YouTube. So many people have submitted some really great YouTube spoofs. And while this one was funny, it was a bit difficult to understand at first. Perhaps the sound quality is …

Luxury on Loan by BagBorroworSteal.com (magazine ad)
Let me first say that I would love to have lots of bags from Yves Saint Laurent, Fendi, Chanel, Louis Vuitton, and Kate Spade. But the idea that I would have to log into a website and “borrow” a bag makes me sick. I wouldn’t want to …
Alli Diet capsules (magazine ad)
Again with the diet pills. I have seen these advertised in stores in plenty of magazines. But I am still grappling with how these pills are supposed to work differently than other pills. Anyway, these pills are said to help people lose 50% more …
Pandora Free Internet Radio
Pandora is a great website and music player! I really enjoy using it! If you’ve never tried it, you’re really missing out. It allows you to listen to music for free in full quality. I like that it plays full-length songs for free! And …
In Style Fashion Magazine
This magazine is priced at $13 and my first thought was ouch, it was really expensive, but I had rarely splurged on these kind of magazines in a long time and I wanted to see the red carpet’s fashion ups and downs so I bought this magazine and wasn’t …
Yaz Birth Control pills (magazine ad)
I have realized with this ad that birth control is not just birth control anymore. In fact, this ad actually reveals that this pill controls bloating, irritability, headaches, muscle aches, acne, and even moodiness. I have no idea what kind of miracle drug this includes that it …
Eton Emergency Radio
For under fifty dollars, I purchased that new Eton Emergency Radio. It is one of the coolest things I have ever seen! It has a signaling flashlight, and a siren that can be utilized in the event of an emergency. Still, the coolest part that I came …
20 Biggest Record Company Screw Ups Of All Time
This was a pretty interesting article. Compiled by a group of authors, this piece marked twenty different major missteps of the recording industry. It’s meant to be a somewhat sarcastic piece of journalism which briefly points out some of the bad decisions that music execs …
The Daily Telegraph, newspaper
I am someone who enjoys a good read. I like literature too, ranging from translations of the classics of both Ancient Greek and Roman writers from Xenophon to Procopius and, in later writings, from Alfred the Great’s translations to the Brontes and all points in between.
What I am driving …

The Fountain Magazine
The Fountain is a magazine published quarterly that has articles written about everything from scientific to literature to spiritual thought. I suscribed because I was offered a free yearlong subscrition and I figured maybe it would have something I would like to read. I was surprised when …
Heat Magazine
Heat Magazine is a guilty pleasure of mine. It is gloriously gossipy and rather bitchy too, but it is difficult to drag my eyes away from it until I have looked through the whole thing. It has features on various topical glamorous celebrities (Katie Price, Victoria Beckham, …
Pioneer Navigation System (magazine ad)
When I first took a look at this advertisement, I thought it was perhaps for a cologne. Then I thought—no—it must be a condom commercial. Then I saw the word “Pioneer” and immediately thought that it was for a musical device. I came to …
Taste of Home Magazine
Taste of Home Magazine is one of my favorite publications, period. It provides clear, concise directions for recipes while utilizing easy to find ingredients. I highly recommend it.

I recently bought the November issue of Family Circle magazine. It caught my eye while I was waiting in line at the grocery store. The cover stories that interested me where- “Slow Cooker Suppers, Walk it Off, and 30 Organizing Solutions.” Well, what a waste of money …

I have been reading Parenting magazine since I had my first child 6 years ago. I was first introduced to it when I was at the doctors office and was waiting in the lobby and came across it to read. I found it very entertaining and informative. It was …
