Media Reviews
Fox News Channel
You know, Fox News gets a lot of flak for being “biased and skewing the facts”. People act like this is some travesty. Yeah, because no media outlet has ever been biased or skewed data before. I mean, to quote ESPN, C’mon Man!
Yes, I know, Fox …

Now this is what sophistication is all about. Did you know that if you drink Hennessy Cognac, you will automatically look like you stepped out of a red carpet event and straight to the after party. That is what I see going on when I …
Blender Magazine
This magazine is one of the best pop culture references to date. I am really amazed that I have found such an interest in a magazine that offers so much information about musical groups that I’m not really fond of. In addition to the really interesting …

I have never seen so many birth control commercials on television in my entire life. This one for Yaz is supposed to concentrate on the fact that women are fed up with the discomfort and drama that goes along with having their periods. This commercial features …
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 …
Borghese Nail Lacquer (magazine ad)
If I were looking at this ad without knowing that it was for nail polish, I might think that it’s actually for lip gloss. The model in the picture is very pretty. She sort of has a “Liv Tyler-esque” glow about her. And what struck …
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 …
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 …

Alli Diet capsules (magazine ad)
Again with the diet pills. I have seen these advertised in stores in plenty of magazines. But I am still grappling with how these pills are supposed to work differently than other pills. Anyway, these pills are said to help people lose 50% more …
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 …
Star magazine
I hate to admit it! but, yeah I do buy this tabloid weekly magazine.
To read about the best beach bods and the worse one’s. It really surprises me how the celebrities will put on the very slinky bathing suits and not look their best knowing they are in the …
Myles of Style HGTV design show (magazine ad)
I don’t think I have actually seen this show. But I am a huge fan of shows which transform living spaces into little wonderlands. This show is hosted by a black woman named Myles. I have never heard of her. But I think …
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, …

WPOC
One of the best country music stations I believe in the country is our own WPOC. This station is involved in our community. They have really good traffic reports in the morning and the afternoon. They keep you informed of what is going on that will effect you …

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 …
Sally Hansen Hard as Nails (magazine ad)
Beautiful, beautiful hands are shown in this Sally Hansen ad. The owner of those hands can only be seen from the forearm up. But that is the beauty of how this ad was put together. Also seen is a suitcase bulging with clothes. …
Top car magazine
As a natural car enthusiast Top Car mag is one of the monthly reading materials that I buy and I am never disappointed with the content.
I love all the unique features that they have in the magazine each time as well as all the regular stuff like new car …
Nivea Natural Tone Moisturizer (magazine ad)
The couple shown in this commercial are too beautiful for words. Their entire faces are not even shown in their entirety. But the woman’s thick, luscious curly hair, and the man’s close cropped do are quite prominent. Their creamy café-au-lait complexions don’t hurt either. …
Martha Stewart Magazine
I live in a small house in a small town on a limited budget so one would have to wonder why I subscribe to Martha Stewart Living Magazine. Well, the reason is I have been able to find ideas in her magazine that I can scale down to fit …
Wide Eye Schnapps (magazine ad)
I have never heard of this particular liquor before. I don’t even know what flavor it is. The ad says that “this is your wake-up call.” A woman is featured sitting in one corner of the ring. She is blonde, fully made up, …

NBA 2K8 PS3 (magazine ad)
If the photograph displaying this Sony Playstation game is any indication of what the graphics will look like if I were to pull the game out of the box, then I might have to go and buy one of these gaming systems for myself. I am not …
20 Biggest Record Company Screw Ups Of All Time
This was a pretty interesting article. Compiled by a group of authors, this piece marked twenty different major missteps of the recording industry. It’s meant to be a somewhat sarcastic piece of journalism which briefly points out some of the bad decisions that music execs …
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. …
Rouge magazine fall 2007
I got this small free magazine in the mail. I couldn’t remember signing up for it but then I remember it is a product of Proctor and Gamble and as I get their email coupons, I am now entitled to receive their magazine called Rouge.
Rouge is a brand new …
BCBG Generation (magazine ad)
Wow, what an image that is slathered across this page. A young (aren’t they all?)brunette/redhead model appears to be leaning against nothing. I imagine that this is just a position that the photographer was able to capture. She is standing with her back arched, with her …
Baby Driver TV Commercial for Suburu
After decades of watching commercials on TV, I’m tired of them. I tend to zone out, multi-task, or change the channel when a commercial comes on. Sometimes, though, an ad campaign does capture my interest. One of those is the Subaru Dad and Kids campaign. …
Family Circle Magazine
I recently bought the November issue of Family Circle magazine. It caught my eye while I was waiting in line at the grocery store. The cover stories that interested me where- “Slow Cooker Suppers, Walk it Off, and 30 Organizing Solutions.” Well, what a waste of money …
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 …
JibJab Election 2008 Cartoon
n the world of politics, there is very little to laugh about when the candidates are slinging mud, spinning issues into their perspective and changing the way that they feel on issues on a daily basis in order to get as many vote as they could possibly drum up. …
Idaho Statesman newspaper
If you like straight news reporting and not a lot of fluff articles, this is not the newspaper for you. Recently there was a fire in Boise that destroyed 10 homes and had a fatality involved. It was a tragic event for sure but the Statesman keeps …
National ENQUIRER magazine
This is one magazine that I buy even though I do know you can’t always believe every thing you read. Sometimes, they do have the “real” scoop and it makes some of these celebrities very mad.
This magazine has had a lot of law suits against it but continue to …
Sunset Magazine
I’ve lived in California practically my whole life. If someone were to ask me if Sunset magazine was an accurate description of what the California lifestyle is all about I would have to say yes, by and large. It is a lifestyle here and you either buy into it …
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 …
Bangkok Post Newspaper
“Bangkok Post” is one of the most read English newspaper published in Bangkok, Thailand. Another one which is also quite popular is “The Nation”. When I am in Bangkok, those are the two newspapers I never miss to read every day to keep myself informed and updated of …
Design For Humanity by Billa Bong (magazine ad)
I don’t think I have ever heard of Billa Bong. It sounds like a really funky clothing line. And I see that there is a model on the page wearing an array of bathing suits. The suits are very vintage looking and are nowhere near that …
