I first started reading the Daily Mail about five or six years ago after reading my Dad’s copy a couple of times.
One of the main things I like about the papaer is that it doesn’t really deal with celebrity ‘news’ instead, it deals with real news.
The Daily Mail …

In my lifetime, I’ve seen more commercials than I care to think about. Some of them are classics, poignant ads that somehow warm your heart, and others are on the total opposite end of the spectrum — annoying things that just make you want to turn off the …

This is by far my favorite magazine. It focuses on topics that range from healthy eating and stress reduction to cooking to relationships to spirituality. It has a new age bend to it, but it is never heavy handed with any specific type of philosophy. Rather, …

What a horrible horrible ad. The clothes for this line are so ridiculously “Dress Barn” that no one in their right mind would wear them. They call it Classic Careerwear. And to tell the truth, the model shown looks extremely professional. The suit …

Boy oh boy, once one cosmetic company catches on to something, then it seems like all the rest follow suit. I think that either Cover Girl or Revlon has discovered a way to help the consumer find her perfect shade. Now Aveeno appears to be doing the …

In America, Formula 1 racing isn’t as popular as NASCAR. While there certainly are a number of fans, it’s not enough to warrant a huge international traveling expense for analysts and crew. Thus, Speed-TV’s coverage is hampered dramatically.

Probably my favorite commercial creation since the Energizer Bunny is the Aflac Duck. This quacking creature really amuses me, but more so now that Aflac is sponsoring NASCAR driver, Carl Edwards. As a result of the sponsorship, Edwards has been doing a series of ads for TV …
