Mancrunched the Superbowl

Instead of listening to the media consumption lecture, I think I'll create a little of my own media. Since the University of Texas insists on my taking 4 advertising classes covering the same basic principles of elementary Advertising, I suppose I will have to delve into the industry myself to learn any thing of substance. And hopefully stumble upon more than one good idea.

I'm so tired of the wretched fluorescent lighting that exists in all my classrooms. Abrasive awkward and glaring on my computer screen, it just won't do. Instead, let's insert about 50 tiny led bulbs into the ceiling that could be controlled wirelessly from a teachers computer to form different patterns and light levels with pure white light instead of the yellow-gray fuzz of fluorescent.

To say something about this Mancrunch vs. Tebow anti-abortion fiasco for this year's Superbowl advertising. How can two men kissing possibly be more offensive than politically aligned advertising during this sports game. The Mancrunch commercial, while not even advocating a position on the issue, is no different than those "mmm sexy voice call this number to talk to your sexy local" commercials that visit late night television channels across the nation. How not airing this commercial justifiable to any media network. Offence of men who may not be comfortable with sexuality and a challenge to a woman's right to her own body are hardly comparable issues. My guess is the margin of homosexual men watching the superbowl is much larger than any of these too-tight-assed conservatives would like to acknowledge. CBS , you make a serious mistake being so inconsistently selective. Maybe we shouldn't show the game, I mean all that violence has got to be offensive to some radical group, what about their rights, hmm?
