Finally I'm done!!

EEEEWWW

Seeing that man drink the fat made me wanna vomit. That really was disturbing and disgusting. I felt sorry for the actor. But anyways back on the topic I think that this video is very effective. At least it was to me. It makes me wanna think twice about drinking a can of soda now. About the tax, if i had to pay 2 times more than what i pay now for a bag of chips i probably wouldn't buy it. I might once in a while but not on a regular basis. I think it is a good idea to promote healthy-ness but i don;t think it will last that long. If companies aren't making money selling their product they will find new ways and new things to do. In the end that may make cause even more obessidy than before.

Image Manipulation

I think that photoshop is a great invention and it has many good things to it. But i think that some companies are using it too much sometimes going over the limit. In the image above you can see that the models face had been cleaned. She now has fair skin and looks like shes 10 years younger. Without the before image i wouldn't be able to tell and i probably would've said to myself WOW shes pretty. But even if i say shes pretty doesn't change what she looks like in real life. It doesn't matter how much you change and manipulate and image, when it comes to the real deal you can't hide it.

For the companies who use real faces and normal models i think it is a good trend. But you know what the reason why they are promoting it is because people are getting sick of the photo shopped images. Because it is such a common thing for magazines to do most people who pick up a magazine will say this picture is fake. That is why companies are trying a new approach, I think it will last but only for a certain period of time. That is until the public gets tired and wants something NEW.

Games befitting us?

NO WAY

Honestly in my opinion games are never going to be befitting. Actually the more advanced graphics become and gaming systems evolve more people spend MORE time on it. The old games are boring because they are ugly pixalated images and they are very repetitive. Less time was spent on gaming systems back then. Today with advanced technology and more challenging games kids are spending more and more time on them. Parents complained back them so what about now? Games are not befitting us in any way it's actually very harming to some people. Some people take games too seriously and bring the conflict into our world. Even the Wii fit is not beneficial. They talk about loosing weight in your home but really most of the time it does not work. Actual runs in the neighborhood or daily workout in the gym work. Games are merely getting fancier and more fun but they did not evolve from being beneficial.
