Geox athletic shoes (magazine ad)
I have never seen a show that breathes. So many tennis shoes end up in the garbage bin because they are either too beat up, or just too stinky to keep anymore. Sure there are odor eaters to capture and release those stinky fumes. But the …

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 …
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 …

Active Naturals by Aveeno (magazine ad)

Kipling bags by Fergie (magazine ad)
I am not really a Fergie fan. Personally, I feel that when she joined the Black Eyed Peas, they lost a little of their authenticity. The band suddenly became all about Fergie because she was the new snow princess to take the rest of the group to …

The Daily Telegraph
There are some things in this world that are just too cruel. For me, one of those —˜slings and arrows of outrageous fortune’ is to find myself in a country that doesn’t get —˜The Daily Telegraph’ every day. I know that this may sound rather colonial and supercilious—¦well, it …
