Kohl’s Vera Wang clothing line (magazine ad)
First of all, I had no idea that Vera Wang even had a clothing line at Kohl’s. But from the look of the ad, I wished that there was a Kohl’s nearby. In the ad several young women are draped across what looks like …
ZOO Weekly magazine
ZOO Weekly is, without a doubt, a men’s mag. Each week you can be sure to see at least one beautiful, albeit airbrushed, lady on the cover. There are three main topics - women, weird stuff and sports.
There’s the obligatory bikini model every issue, with different themes for …

Fox News
I watch Fox News sometimes but I don’t watch it a lot. I consider myself somewhat of an independent and most of the shows in my opinion do have a conservative bias. Some of the main anchors include Sean Hannity, Bill O’reilly and Greta Van …
The New Yorker Conference (magazine ad)
What in the world is this you ask? I had to read the page (which as NO pictures or photos) to realize that this event which took place on May 8th and 9th was a conference of visionaries in all different fields in the world. The …
Men’s Health Magazine
Now this is one magazine that is like a Bible to me and I find myself buying it month after month I think it wouldn’t be too much of a bad idea to subscribe to it.
This, for me, is one of the best magazines to hit the …
AOL Radio
I have to be online for large periods of time some days and it can really get tedious without something to get me motivated. Although I’ve had AOL Radio for awhile, I never really took the time to start listening to any of their stations until very recently. …
Mineral Sheers Powder Foundation by Neutrogena (magazine ad)
A great big, make that HUGE photograph of Jennifer Garner is being used to market this cosmetic. The powder foundation appears to be giving this actress the model glow that she has all the time. The delicate dimples in her cheeks don’t hurt either. Her …
NFL Network TV Channel
I have been watching this channel for years and I would certainly recommend it to anyone that’s a fan of the NFL. This channel provides 24/7 news and updates when it comes to the NFL. I love being able to turn to one channel to find all …
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 …
Fresh 102.7
Everyday at work I listen to the radio station Fresh 102.7 (Las Vegas, NV). I have come to appreciate the DJ’s sense of humor, especially Suzy. The traffic reports are accurate and timely. I drive to work during peak hours in the morning and I am rarely late due …
Handyman Club of America Magazine
I just got my first issue of this magazine. My 17 year old brother and I are always talking about home improvement projects and when I saw this, I signed us up. I figured it’d have one or two easy projects. This magazine is more than I expected to …

Horse Illustrated Magazine
Horse Illustrated Magazine is a publication for all riders. Horse Illustrated covers all disciplines and arrives in my mailbox every month.

Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine
I truly love magazines, and especially Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine. It only costs about $15.00, and you could get it at a store near you.
Though this is a magazine, but it has the concept of a book. And a good book with many short stories. I …
Coconut milk shampoo by Organix (magazine ad)
Here we are again with the ads for cosmetics and other beauty products that have food in them. However, doesn’t this sound really lovely? Coconut milk sounds refreshing. I understand that it is good for you in terms of nutrients. But from the looks of …
US Weekly Magazine
When my nephews school needed to raise funds for new computers the students were selling magazine subscriptions. I decided to purchase two of the subscriptions. US Weekly were one of the two subscriptions I chose. I signed up for a year of service. I flipped through the magazine every …
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 …
The Writer magazine
At first look The Writer seems like an unimpressive and overpriced magazine. It does not have any flashy or attractive design; it is quite thin and it is printed on a thin paper. But once you actually look inside, riches can be found. As an aspiring writer, I have …
Boating Life magazine
Boating Life magazine is a magazine that I never ordered but has been coming to me for several months. I think I may have signed up for something like this when I attended a boat show several months ago. This magazine first and foremost is a magazine for boaters. …

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 …
Total Biscuit, The Cynical Brit
Satirist video game reviewer, The Angry Video Game Nerd, has spawned many a YouTube reviewer. Some have created a persona all their own while other have tried to ride his fury-driven coat tails. The Happy Video Game Nerd, Caddicarus, and Angry Joe stand out as some of …
The Sunday Times Style Magazine
Style Magazine is one of the color supplements with the Sunday Times newspaper and I always enjoy a look at it as I think for a free supplement it is packed with lots of stuff. This magazine covers style not only in terms of women’s fashion but also …
2008 Subaru Impreza (magazine ad)
This car has all-wheel drive. I was surprised to discover such a big feature in such a little car. This car isn’t really that attractive. The marketing execs tried to use flashy colors to take away from the fact that the car is really …
Women’s Health Philippines
I admit I am a health junkie. I go to the gym most days of the week and try to eat as healthily as I could. As I am not a doctor, I do a lot of research on the internet about health. I am glad that they came …
The MBT Anti-Shoe (magazine ad)
What in the heck is an anti-shoe? That is what I say when I take a peek at this ad in Wired magazine. In the middle of the page is what looks like an orthopedic sneaker. But at the same time, I’m intrigued by …
IKEA “Another Baby” (television commercial)

Raleigh News and Observer
The news and observer is one of the best local papers I have ever seen. Ive lived in a great deal of different places, most of which have had a sub par local newspper. The news and observer does a good job of letting people in the area know …
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 …
Muscle & Fitness Hers
I have been going to the gym since I signed-up for a lifetime membership with Slimmers World in 1994. Back then (at least in my country) gyms were domains of the men and 2-lb weights were for aerobics only. My fitness instructor was male and so was my trsining …

CNN’s coverage of Chilean Miners Rescue
Like thousands in America and I’m sure around the world, I was tuned into the coverage of CNN when the miners in Chile were rescued. This event captivated the globe for the last couple of months. These 33 men were trapped below ground, and no one even …
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 …

Bushmills Irish Whiskey (magazine ad)
I like this ad. There is something earthy and old about it. I know it’s probably the fact that whoever thought of this wanted to ensure that the person perusing the magazine stopped here and realized how old and classy this alcohol is. Seeing barrels of …
