First: A Magazine for Women on the Go
Reading magazines is my favorite pastime. I have all kinds of magazines for my different interests. I have so many of them because every magazine has different focus. It is very rare that I find a magazine with most, if not all of my interests discussed there. Most of …
Look-Alike (TV Guide channel program)
There is something really whimsical about wanting to look like your favorite star, and then getting the opportunity to be completely made over by a panel of professionals. I have seen a few episodes of this show, and the most recent one I saw was the one in …
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 …
The Price is Right Game Show
The Price is Right is a game show that runs on CBS. In my opinion The Price is Right is the best game show. Drew Carey is the current host of The Price is Right and he is always very energetic which makes the show a whole …

The magazine has a fun sense of humor, such as a regular column where they play a prank each month. The magazine’s writers all seem like people who …
Portage Daily Register
I don’t live in Portage Wisconsin but I happened to be in that area the other day and, like I usually try to do whenever I’m in a community for a night, I ended up picking up a copy of their local newspaper; the Daily Register.
I have to tell …
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 …
Essence magazine
I’m not an African American, but one of my favourite African American magazines is a magazine by the name of Essence. I usually see them being sold in stores, but when I usually get the chance to look on them is when I’m either in a waiting area, or …
Flavors (A Food Magazine)
Whenever we do our grocery at any SM supermarket, I see the magazine Flavors featured prominently on their shelves. Their marketing strategy worked on me, and I finally relented and bought one to help me navigate our kitchen. I like this food magazine than Foodie because the font and …
Men’s Health Philippines Magazine
As a gym buff, I have to have my own bible for health and diet concerns. This magazine was first introduced to me by a friend. My first copy was an international issue with Paul Walker in the cover. The US version was good but most of the contents …
The Dress Collection by Ralph Lauren (magazine ad)
Ralph Lauren is known for making really preppy looking clothing. Think lots of polo shirts, khakis, and clothes which are befitting a summer in the South Hamptons. But fast forward a bit, and you will realize that Ralph Lauren has come a long way in the area …
USA Network Cable TV Channel
I love watching the USA Network and it’s certainly one of my most favorite cable TV channels. The USA Network is available with most basic cable and satellite packages which means that it usually doesn’t require an additional fee. The reason that I love watching the USA …
US weekly magazine
From time to time I will buy this magazine. Even though this is another “tabloid” sometimes it has some really good pictures in it. Also, you will sometimes find really good articles here, such as when they have “Which side of the tracks are they from” showing which of …
Memorex Am/Fm Stereo
About three years ago, my mother wanted to purchase a stereo cd player for my father for his birthday. We went to Wal-Mart and found an old fashioned 1950’s replica Memorex Am/Fm stereo/cd player. Its model number was MTT3200, and it cost around $20. While its …
Speed-TV Coverage of Formula 1 Racing
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.
For example, Speed-TV uses a camera feed supplied by the …
One Touch diabetic monitor (magazine ad)
There is a huge close up of a real life mother. Her name is Kelly. She has diabetes, and she’s a mother. It’s very interesting that they chose this particular style of ad for such an important little device. I like that they used …
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 …
Computer Active Issue 265
Computer active is a simple, easy to understand magazine which has been running for ten years. It costs £1.59 from most supermarkets and other retailers.
Inside the issue there are several features, as well as the ongoing sections such as the exclusive, free download and the letters page. The cover …
Garnier Fructis Reshapable Hair Putty (magazine ad)
This guy is smiling or laughing his fool head off. It’s actually a nice, refreshing profile of the guy. But I have to admit that I am really surprised that a man was even chosen to market this product. Anyway, this hair putty is supposed to …
Article: “Put A Little Science In Your Life” by Brian Greene
“Put A Little Science In Your Life” by Brian Greene is an op-ed piece about how important science is, yet, no one really understands it or uses it in their lives.
First, the article begins with a reference to a letter Brian received from a soldier in Iraq. Instead of …
Baby Talk Magazine
A friend of mine bought me a subscription to Baby Talk Magazine after I had become pregnant, and I have found it to be a great source of information.
It is published monthly and has great features such as Baby Checkup, which is all about the health of your baby, …
Frontline news magazine
Frontline is an Indian newsmagazine published fortnightly from Chennai. I have been reading this magazine for the last three years. In fact, I have become addicted about it because of its impeccable quality and professionalism shown in journalism.
Though this magazine belongs to the spectrum of left, it still attracts …
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 …

OK! Magazine
I always used to be an avid reader of OK! Magazine and i would rush to the shops to get it the day it came out. This however, has changed a few months back when i realised that it was a rip off-simple as that.
They have a few “celebrities” …

I had volunteered to help teach Vacation Bible School this summer and signed up to be an assistant in Chadder’s Cinema Science!
In Chadder’s Cinema Science with watched a video each day entitled Chadder’s Science Adventure and also did a small experiment to go along with the theme …
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 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 …
Toronto Star
Toronto Star
This is one of the leading newspapers in Toronto. You can get it at every newsstand as well as by subscription. But beware of subscriptions, once you sign for that, they will continue calling you until they drive you insane. Or at least, that is my experience of …
Canadian Living magazine
These magazines, Canadian Living, always look so appealing, so last year, I got a one year subscription. While I do occasionally enjoy the magazine, to be honest, I don’t think it was worth it to get a subscription. Part of my reason for feeling this is that you end …
Mintek DVD Player
For someone who is not that tech oriented I enjoy using gadgets and at least try to keep up to date with new ones. I was given a Mintek DVD Player as a gift and started using it as soon as I managed to set it up.
It …
Yellow Pages Advertising
I am not very pleased with the results of my advertisement for my tutoring business in the yellow pages. About 6 months ago now I placed an advertisement in both yellow pages online and Yellow Pages phone book. However the advertisment only got published in the phone book in …
National Geographic Magazine
One of the magazines I have always enjoyed reading is the “National Geographic Magazine”. In fact, I did not know there was also a National Geographic cable television channel until I received it from my cable company a few years ago. Thus I can say that it was the …
Orbit MP3 speakers ad
This ad depicts three people seated around a little speaker. At first when I saw this ad, I didn’t know that the commercial was for a speaker at all. In any event, the ad, which is in black and white (save for the products and …
TV Guide Channel
The TV Guide Channel began essentially as just a scroll of cable listings. Now it’s a network with original programming. The one theme that is consistent is that TV Guide Channel is all about entertainment and nothing else. You may find paid programming during the wee …
The San Tan Sun News in Chandler Arizona
I lived in the mid-west long ago and always enjoyed the local papers in the various small towns where I grew up as a preacher’s kid. They had that homey feel that made you feel at ease and I found the stories more interesting than the larger newspapers with all …
Canon Power Shot SD870IS (magazine ad)
I don’t know much about tennis. And I sure don’t know much about Maria Sharapova. But I can say one thing about this ad for the Canon Power Shot digital camera: this ad is lame, lame, lame. In it she’s shown taking pictures of …
Cross Stitcher magazine
I first picked up Cross Stitcher magazine a couple of years ago. I was trying to give up smoking and thought that the free stitching kit would keep me occupied! It currently retails at 3.45, although i subscribe which means i get it at a cheaper rate.
I …
EUREKA TIMES STANDARD NEWS PAPER
In Eureka, there are two newspapers out, currently. One is privately owned by a local, very wealthy man, the other is THE EUREKA TIMES STANDARD NEWS PAPER. It doesn’t take a lot of reasoning, on the part of any of our locals, to know which newspaper is probably most …
Real Simple magazine
Real Simple is a magazine which contains information about productivity, recipes, occasionally workouts, organization tips, and other things to get your life straightened out. I have been a subscriber for about two years now and have been a huge fan so far.
I read Real Simple for the first time …
Cover Girl Queen Collection Lipsticks (magazine ad)
There is no better spokeswoman than Queen Latifah—to market the Queen Collection lipsticks. I imagine that this line of cosmetics was renamed specifically with this woman in mind. She is a great spokesmodel because she doesn’t exactly fit the traditional mold of someone who models for …
