Kohl’s Clothing Love Revolution (TV commercial)
I have never shopped at Kohl’s. But I understand that they have good bargains. When I think of Kohl’s, I think about the things that you would see at Target or Wal-Mart. And I think that the quality would be perhaps a little better, …
Life Takes Visa (magazine ad)
I have seen the television commercials where the Life Takes Visa slogan is punctuated by all sorts of gregarious activities. It makes people want the freedom that a credit card sometimes feel like it’s providing. In this magazine advertisement, a guitar with five necks and five sets …
C-Span TV Network
This is a channel that broadcasts mostly government and political gatherings. I have been watching it for years and it’s certainly one of my most favorite channels when it comes to politics. There is no additional charge for it because it’s included with most basic cable and …
Rohto Eye Drops (magazine ad)
“Feel the Eyedrenaline” is the title of this striking ad. I really like that the artists responsible for this used the visual (pun intended) option and ran with it. In the middle of the page is an eye. Part of the eye looks dry …
MacGruber Pepsi Ads
On the Saturday Night Live of Super Bowl Weekend 2009, three ads were shown for the first time. One of these ran in the last quarter of the Super Bowl game itself. Saturday Night Live has an ongoing skit that parodies the famous 80’s show, MacGyver, starring …

Spark is the newest publication produced by The News Journal paper in Wilmington, Delaware. It is acutally a free publication, which is great, because it virtually contains all of the same information that much of the News Journal does. It is a publication designed to attract readers …
Veranda Magazine
I am an avid reader when it comes to books. But, I don’t feel the same way when it comes to magazines. I like magazines for the pictures. After all, it isn’t poetry that’s inside these magazines. Especially when the articles are routinely lengthy, I feel they’re just filler …
Computer Gaming World magazine
My husband is actually the one who subscribes to this magazine, but I enjoy reading it when it comes. There have been a few editorial changes lately, and the jury is still out on some of them. For instance, they got rid of one of the columns …
Entrepreneur Magazine
My biggest dream is to be a successful entrepreneur of my generation and when I discovered about the Entrepreneur magazine I was ecstatic and excited. The magazine releases a copy every month and I always make it a point to watch out for it.

Dana & David “Only Gold” (magazine ad)
Here is yet another multi-page commercial for the marketing of jewelry by a company called Dana & David. Personally, I have never heard of this particular jewelry company. But the first page, showing only a bar of pure gold, is incredibly arresting. It …
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 …
The Independant Newspaper
The Independant is the newspaper that I read everyday. It is a British newspaper, a high quality newspaper that tends to look more at world news, and the big issues going on in the country rather than running the same stories that every other newspaper has.
The thing that I …
Bio-Oil Scar Treatment (magazine ad)
Now this is a new one for me. I had no idea that this product even existed. I have some scar damage and am always looking for products that reveal the great skin that I have underneath. (How is that for a commercial?) Anyway, …
Yahoo News
Once or twice when I am browsing the internet for news stories, I might see a story on Yahoo News that I decide to record. However, I do not use it too much since I think that going to Yahoo News to get the latest news stories comes with …
IMAN luxury eye shadow (magazine ad)
Again Target has done it again with a wonderful ad. I had no idea that they even sold IMAN products. I shouldn’t be surprised since they sell all sorts of wonderful items for women of color. But in this ad, the eye shadow …
Garden Design Magazine
I don’t really learn anything about gardening by reading this magazine. It’s mostly about the pictures for me. Sometimes they’re so beautiful I want to frame them and put them up as wall art. This mag is almost like a look book. These aren’t do it yourself ideas. These …
Fine Gardening Magazine
I’m not good at gardening by any stretch of the imagination. Perhaps that’s why gardening magazines fascinate me. A lot of times I just look at gardening mags for the pretty pictures and that’s about it. I love gardens, but in general I’m used to designing interiors. Designing for …
Full Metal Alchemist Manga
If you are a manga reader then you probably heard Full Metal Alchemist; Full Metal Alchemist or also know as FMA for short is about two brothers who wants to revive their mother using alchemy, but they do not know that using alchemy to revive a dead person is …
CNN’s coverage of Chilean Miners Rescue

American Photo Magazine
American Photo Magazine is a magazine of pictures that I like. I am a reader, an avid one at that, but there are times when I just want to look at pictures, stare and study them, not just to read. And that is the exact abstract from …

Island Capri by Michael Kors (magazine ad)
Island Capri is a great name for a breezy looking fragrance. I have never smelled this stuff. But again, Michael Kors is a really great brand - a really great designer. If his perfume is anything like the clothing, then the wearer of this perfume will …
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 …
Luxury Reborn Belvedere Vodka (magazine ad)
I know that magazines are supposed to be progressive in order to sell copies. But I am really surprised that the sexual overtones would be this explicit. In this ad for Vodka, a bright green-eyed woman is seen applying lipstick. Her wide eyes imply …
Nintendo DS “Play For Me” marketing campaign
I really like the ads where celebrities are shown playing hand-held video games against their friends. In this commercial, America Ferrera is shown having a good old time supposedly by herself, in a nondescript location. Her device has her name emblazoned on the front of the Nintendo …
FINGERHUT MAGAZINE
Fingerhut magazine is a magazine I started receiving in the 60’s, wherever I lived. When I was first married, I made the error of many newly weds, of buying on time payments. This was an error, as the payments seem to have a high interest rate, and it took …
Modern Dog Magazine
I had never heard of Modern Dog magazine until I saw a segment on The Ellen DeGeneres Show about it. I love dogs and I love reading about them but until I read an issue of Modern Dog I had never found a magazine that really appealed to …
Smart Parenting Magazine
This is a very nice magazine I came across during my last visit to our dentist. At first I thought that it was just another of those advertising magazines that when you scan the pages, you will just be taken over by numerous advertisements instead …

Mark Larson Radio Show
Mark Larson is a radio talk show host on KOGO 600 on the AM dial in San Diego.

Zip 103 FM
I think Zip 103 FM is a radio station that many young people in Jamaica listen to. I would have included myself in that statement also, but I can’t because I stopped listening to it about two or three years ago. Nevertheless, I would still recommend it to many …

The National Enquirer is my favourite magazine. I love celebrity gossip, and the Enquirer happily provides it.

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 …
