Euphoria perfume (Calvin Klein fragrance ad)

Nintendo DS “Play For Me” marketing campaign

“Here’s lookin’ At You, Squid” is an article written by W.Hodding Carter discussing fishing for squids, what they are, and how it has become popular to regular fisherman.

SunStar Sunday Newspaper
It is very important that we keep ourselves informed. In this world, being informed is a protection and the same time a weapon. It is important that we will watch the news, or listen to radio news broadcasts or read the newspaper.
I can’t read newspapers everyday because I don’t …
TV Guide Channel

Resolve Carpet Stain Remover Commercial

I have just a couple of …
Clean Make-Up by Cover Girl (magazine ad)
Rihanna is a really fresh faced beauty. When she first hit the scene, everyone thought that she was just going to follow in Beyonce’s footsteps and perhaps be a cheaper knock off. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not necessarily a big Rihanna fan. But I …

The Chronicle Herald .ca
Halifax’s local newspaper is offered online as well at www.thechronicleherald.ca. I personally opt to visit this site daily, as I prefer the neat and tidy web surfing to flipping through the large, bulky paper that makes a mess on my hands and desk.
I do enjoy this site for its …

My parents are out of town until tomorrow and, because I’ve been checking on their house daily, they told me I could take home their newspaper rather than letting the papers stack up on their table.
Because of this, I have had a chance to look at the Daily Citizen …

SOCO & Lime is what the ad says at the top. I had no idea what in the world SOCO was. I had to actually scan down to see that this was a quirky nickname for Southern Comfort whiskey. I have had this whiskey …
Food and Family Magazine: 2003 Summer Issue
I like when summer rolls around because it means some good outdoor cooking as well as fresh fruits; however, I didn’t really the Food and Family Magazine: 2003 Summer Issue because it didn’t have an abundance of summer recipes I was hoping to read about.
The front cover of Food …

I have never heard of an electronic device that kills acne bacteria. I don’t know how I really like this idea. I mean, the concept of killing acne without messy creams and other potions is nice. But the electronic aspect is a little bit hard to …

I don’t stay in hotels too very often. But this commercial for Hyatt hotels is a very convincing way to get people to think again about staying there. In any case, a woman is shown sitting on a huge sectional sofa. Her feet are …
Nirvana Unplugged DVD (magazine ad)
I was a huge fan of Nirvana. I loved the intense wildness of the music, and the angst filled lyrics belted out by Kurt Cobain. When he died in the mid 90’s, I found myself tearing up because I just knew that Kurt was going to go …
Breast enhancements by Natrelle (magazine ad)
Ok, so you’re supposed to want to get breast implants when you can’t even see the breasts of the model who supposedly has them? I have heard of Natrelle before. But I don’t really know what the difference is between getting implants according to the selection your …
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 …

Bon Ton fragrance by Ed Hardy (magazine ad)
Ed Hardy is bad azz. I love the T-shirts, the caps, and all the accoutrement that celebs choose to wear when they are not on the red carpet. The designs are always very “brutal” looking but they have a really couture edge bordering on biker-wear. …
Magazine Cook’s Illustrated
Cook’s Illustrated is a cooking magazine I just discovered and I’m sad to say it took me so long to find such an amazing cooking magazine. Even though it just appeared on my radar, Cook’s Illustrated has been in print since September 1992.
One of the great things about Cook’s …

Oprah Magazine
I received two issues of Oprah magazine in the mail. I expected it to be filled with stories and exciting news. It was nothing like I expected. It was filled with advertisements. I bet you if you took out half of the advertisements in the magazine it would be …
