No Longer a Tiger..he's a Cheetahhhh

Let me just say with the whole Tiger Woods scandal...ITS NOT THAT DEEP! He needs to take time away from the spotlight and work on his issues with his wife and kids. He's a human being just like anyone else, and people make mistakes. You cant take away the fact that hes an amazing golfer and always will be. If it were any other person who wasnt a celebrity, no one would really care! I dont think matters are getting any better if hes on the front cover of every magazine...I think people need to move on now.

I understand sex sells but....

After hearing Jamie's presentation of how sex sells in the advertisement industry, I have to wonder how much is too much? After seeing some of the controversial ads, you have to wonder what comes next? Flat out having two people engaging in sexual intercourse? From what I've seen lately, I wouldnt be surprised if it comes to that.

The one thing I hate the most is how women are portrayed as objects in many of these ads. For example, the Dolce and Gabbana ad up top is basically portraying the male as being overly dominant, with her laying underneath him. Instead of showing women as strong individuals like back in the day, women are now seen as just sex toys, basically.

Cyber Safety

Fact: there are about 750,000 online predators and sex offenders. Fact: child pornography sites have grown to about 4 million, with images of children as young as 2. So how far will this keep going? Will the government ever intervene?

According to John Sancin, President of CyberPatrol, many parents hardly ever think that their kids will get caught in the hands of a sex offender. "These people are professionals and know not only what to say to your kids, but how to say and spark their interest and gain their trust." With child pronographic images making between 3 to 20 billion dollars annually, I think more more parents should start educating their kids about the dangers of the Internet.

So will the government ever step in and take action? Many people seem to think not soon enough...I think its time SOMETHING should be done. For example, I think kids under 16 shouldnt be allowed to get a Myspace or Facebook account, or therefore use any social networking site until they're of age.

What do you guys think???

Groom Changes Facebook Status at the Altar

Couple Changes Facebook Status At Alter!

You know that social networking has officially taken over when you hear that a "just married" couple changed their relationship status at the alter. According to Lemondrop.com, Dana Hanna took out his IPhone right at the alter after saying "I Do" and updated his status on Facebook and tweeted on Twitter.

Watching the video, I had to laugh. People really take social networking too seriously sometimes! Watch the video and see what you think!

Boobs Much?

After seeing this Save the Boobs ad on TV about 2 months ago, I was shocked. I understand that "sex sells" but this is too much. Breast cancer is a serious epidemic that affects millions. How about a commercial on a more serious note?

I was surprised to see this on TV..actually what am I saying? I guess its not too surprising...there are racy ads EVERYWHERE these days. Boobyball, the charity that promoted this commercial, was designed to get the attention of people under the age of 30..mission accomplished. Because, seriously what male (or female) is going to ignore this kind of commercial? With the tagline "You know you like them, now its time to save the boobs," this is what chairty founder M.J. Decoteau had to say: "Young people are picking up pamphlets with a 65-year-old woman on the cover and probably tossing them out. We're really about creating a bold way of communicating the message in a fun way that's going to stop them in their tracks. We're hoping that they get the take-away message that is to be breast aware."

Right...

Parents Monitor School Lunches by the Click of a Button

The healthy school lunch craze has gotten even crazier! According to the Daily Mail, parents of students at St. John's Church of England School in London, are now able to monitor and see what their children ate for lunch by accessing an online site. This is how it works: the kids are given an ID card to swipe each time they purchase lunch, which then sends the info to the selected site. Its that easy. "Parents can log on to the site and can see of a child picked ice cream instead of yogurt."

I'm all for getting kids to make better food choices, but I think this has gone a little too far. There's nothing wrong with having a snack once in a while such as ice cream, as long as you dont have it everyday. I think parents and administrators of schools are getting a little out of control with this. It's important to teach kids how to eat and whats healthy, but you also don't want to send them the wrong message by saying you can never have a snack that you enjoy.
