We like to listen to country music and there are a few stations in our area that we tune into. Country music today is not like the country music of fifty years ago. This music is much more contemprary and more like our rock and roll when we …
Rush Limbaugh Radio Program
Rush Limbaugh is a conservative radio host. He is certainly the most successful conservative radio host out there. I agree with a lot of his views on certain issues but I believe that he is way to controversial and divisive. He is a conservative but I …
TV Guide
For the majority of my lifetime, I’ve received the TV Guide. The magazine as it is today, though, is night and day from what it once was. This is mostly because of two things — the internet and cable TV with its programming guide. The days of …
Woman’s Day
Woman’s Day is one of many ‘women’s magazines’ that has been around for a long, long time. It’s full of recipes, diet suggestions, and ways to live healthier. It’s a publication that sometimes I enjoy and sometimes find very easy to just flip through the pages. The …
The Rachel Maddow Show
The Rachel Maddow Show is a fast-paced news and politics commentary program hosted by Rhodes Scholar and longtime radio broadcaster Rachel Maddow. Maddow is decidedly left-wing, but the fact that this show is not just a news program and does contain her opinion on the issues is made …
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 …
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 …
A great magazine for scrapbookers
I recently was waiting in line at customer service at a local department store. I had taken my number and took a seat and looked over my shoulder and found a magazine called “Scrapbook etc.” laying on the table. I picked it up to have something to browse through …
Bain de Terre Sugar & Fig Scalp massage scrub (magazine ad)
Now this is really a strange product. A scalp massage scrub? I have never heard of this before. But I won’t knock it until I’ve tried it. In reading this ad, I see that the caption indicates that the product exfoliates the scalp, leaving it …
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 …
Star Magazine
If you like to read about celebrities you will like this magazine. That is all it’s about. It’s also not filled with advertisements like a lot of the magazines are. It has pictures of celebrities, stories about them. It is a lot more entertaining than a lot of them. …
Shades 5th Avenue by Redken (magazine ad)
Again, there is a blonde with wonderful luscious hair and a pert little pouty mouth, and blue eyes. I wish that advertisers would get a bit more creative than just sticking a blonde on a magazine page and thinking that the world will buy their products because she’s “beautiful.” …
Mossimo clothing (magazine ad)
Target has really come a long way with their clothing. No longer are the clothes relegated to people who simply can’t “afford” to shop in regular department stores. The people behind Target’s clothing know that a great deal of the population (richer and poorer) like …
Entertainment Weekly
My favorite news magazine is Entertainment Weekly. I understand this is not a source for news going around the world, but news of the multi-media venture. I don’t mind. I am tired of turning on my tv, seeing items that do affect me, but depress me. …
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 …
COSMOPOLITIAN MAGAZINE
I’ve been reading cosmo for as long as i can remember. It’s a mainstay at doctors offices everywhere, and you are bound to see at least one copy anyahere you see a large group of women. The magazine offers praticaladvie to women on everything from sex to makup, as …
LeisureZcene Travel Plus
Philippines is composed of roughly 7,100 islands. The coastline is just spectacular, and a lot of them have not been discovered. I love traveling around my country, but it has proven to be somewhat of a challenge as a lot of the places are not on the beaten path. …
HealthToday Philippines
My collection of magazines ranges from fashion magazines, to weight training magazines, running, triathlon, biking and very few health magazines. For some reason, I am not too keen on reading health magazines judging from the pile I had. However, I re-read an issue of HealthToday Philippines and my interest …
Journeys.com footwear website (magazine ad)
This website is for the athletic footwear enthusiast. In the middle of the page is shown a terribly trendy sneaker, hovering over the words “an attitude you can wear.” I like this phrasing because it’s powerful when applied to something as trendy as a sneaker. …
Speed Magazine
I love the magazines of my brothers because they also deal with some of my interests. I may be a woman at heart but I still love my gadgets. My gadgets have helped me a lot with my daily tasks, and I like to keep up with technology. I …
Penny Saver
The Penny Saver has been around for many years now. It’s a way for people to advertise, sometimes for free and sometimes for a small price. It also is a good way for local neighborhood businesses to advertise to a confined area.
The negatives for the Penny Saver …
Channel 67 The City
I have had my XM Radio since November 2006 and so far I enjoy listening to it. What caught my attention was commercial free music. “The City” channel 67 is a channel that suits my taste. It is an urban channel and the selection is good. There is however …
Breitling watches (magazine ad)
This is a prime example of companies milking the popularity of Hollywood celebrities. For this ad, John Travolta was chosen. The people behind the ad were probably sitting around the table discussing how to approach the commercial. And they said: “Hmmm what did John Travolta …
The Economic Times newspaper
I am reading the Economic Times since last two years. It is an Indian newspaper specializing in the economics. This newspaper is known for its sharp analysis and in depth coverage of the news items related to Indian Economy in general in particular and world economy in general.
I felt …
Goldie Hawn Featured in AARP Magazine
I have been enjoying AARP magazines for about five years now. The AARP March/April 2006 issue is one of my favorite issues. I love the picture of Goldie Hawn on the cover. In my opinion, Goldie Hawn is strikingly beautiful even at sixty years of age.
An …
California Medical Board Probes Octuplet Birth by Shaya Tayefe Mohajer
In this article, “California Medical Board Probes Octuplet Birth” by Shaya Tayefe Mohaher, more details and facts are revealed surrounding the case of Nadya Suleman–the woman who gave birth to the octuplets.
The thing I was most impressed with about this article was the fact Arthur Caplan, bioethics chairman at …
Fabulosity by Baby Phat (magazine ad)
Kimora Lee Simmons is not a favorite personality of mine. She is a little bit on the ghetto side. In this ad, Kimora is airbrushed looking a bit thinner, more svelte, and seated on a diamond in perfect model stance. She is wearing a purple slinky …
Family Circle
Family Circle is a publication that I’ve come to appreciate more over the years. I found myself looking at the issues and reading more of it than I do some other media in the same category. For example, the most recent issue is the March 2009 publication. …
Zoning
“Zoning” by an unknown author at Entrepreneur.com is an important piece of information for home based business owners. Not only does it advise a home based business owner where to find information about their city’s zoning ordinance, but what you can do if you business is considered “illegal”.
Since I …
AllTel Cellular service (TV commercial)
In this ad a black family is seen taking a trip (presumably cross country) in an RV. The father is driving, and the mother and children are seated towards the rear. They are having a discussion with four white gentlemen in polo shirts. One wears …
Doo Gro Mega Thick Hair (magazine ad)
This is perhaps the most aggressive yet generic ad I have ever seen for a hair care product. Doo Gro has been around for a little while. But I don’t think I have ever used it. Personally, I find the title of the product …
Oracle Magazine
Most of database programmer in the world have came interest about information. We need reliable and good information, newest trend and also newest database technology. Everything must be perfect and exceptional, perfection and details is the common need for programmer.

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. …
fuse.tv (magazine ad)
I must really really be behind the curve where it regards cable television stations and pop culture in general. I ran across this ad for fuse.tv and I really got confused as to what it was. Shown in the ad is a large close-up of a …
IN TOUCH weekly magazine
This is a good magazine if you really want to read some celebrity “junk”.
You can find out some of the so called “secrets” of these so called “celebrities” because I wonder what some of them are famous for!
The pictures are good. Makes you wonder how they sometimes get such …
Biolage Styling products by Matrix (magazine ad)
Now here is a blonde that is really taking a hair ad to new heights. She’s not particular beautiful. But I absolutely love the fact that the texture in her hair and the haircut really defines what this product is all about. Strength in styling …
Resolve Carpet Stain Remover Commercial
I just watched this commercial on Resolve Carpet Stain Remover. The guy doing the demonstration pours read wine, gravy, and some kind of oil onto a white, plush carpet. Then he sprays Resolve Carpet Stain Remover on it, and removes the stain.
I have just a couple of …
RJR 94 FM
Real Jamaican Radio, or “RJR 94 FM” as it is most commonly known, is able to boast that they are Jamaica’s oldest radio station. Around for over fifty years, it is said that even now they have the most listeners in all the island. I think they are …
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 …
