I didn't think that sexual songs of today were as dirty as critics say they are because they're often metaphorical and not explicit. But then I looked up a bunch of songs on this website and realized that they are in fact very sexual.

type in any rap song where the word "promiscious" is

here's a pretty funny example:

(Nelly Furtado) Hey, is that the truth or are you just saying that?
Are you as skilled at love as Phoenix Suns player (and NBA Most Valuable Player in 2005 and 2006) Steve Nash is at basketball?

CHORUS
(Timbaland) Girl who has casual sex

alot of people posted stuff about their proposal paper topic, so I found this witty website on starbuck's sizes.

i tried to find something on the globalization-factor, but most things i googled were really dumb.

i took a bit of a different direction and rebutted a camera ad campaign...the Kate Moss/ Nikon (respectively) one ...

I'm doing my paper on the Kate Moss/ Nikon camera advertisement, and I came across this website. The bottom part with the people is funny.

It reminds me of (if I remember right) that blog about cd players that chris posted a long time ago.

Tiff's Treats Website

This is a great example of how sophisticated advertising has become.

I like to think I'm rational and skeptical, but this site proved me wrong. After I went to it, I ordered cookies, brownies, and icecream and my roomate and I stuffed our faces immediately.

Tiff's Treats isn't even a big corporation like McDonald's, but they still have dazzling ads.

In psychology class today we learned about observational learning.

Basically, we learned that you can't "vent" your anger through sexual or aggressive media. Violent media just makes you more violent. The whole thing about desensitization is true.

Before the 50's, psychologists accepted Freud's theory of catharsis, in which people could transfer their sexual or aggressive drives into making/observing sexual or aggressive media. If you're mad at your parents, then punch your pillow and listen to loud music; that kinda thing. Then, Albert Bandura did a study with Bobo dolls (those clown blow-up dolls with sand at the bottom that you punch and they bounce back up). He took a group of kids and showed half of them a video of people punching the crap out of the Bobo doll. Then, he one-by-one sent the kids into the room with the Bobo doll. The kids that had seen the movie violently beat the doll. The kids that hadn't watched the Bobo-beating movie weren't nearly as aggressive.
