Really bad ads...


The beer ad<<<<<<<

Text: get the courage to do anything...Because you don't have the balls without it...BEER is good!!!


Subtext: it is like you won't have guts to do anything without the beer...and there's a name card of a woman called Rebecca and the number is on it, so there's something deeper meaning than it actually shows...





The Gel pen ad<<<<<<<


Text: Helping students cheat since 1945... New softgel pens make cheating even more comfortable...the student is cheating in class with the tiny notes on his hand...

Subtext: If you use their pen, you can cheat easily on the test...it is good for student to cheat...even the adults courage student to cheat...











Levi's ad<<<<<

Text: Two guys are standing on the rock and looking toward something that seems like they are very intelligent...but the women is seating on the rock (right below the man), and wearing bikinni in the winter, that is abasing women... Subtext: If the guys wear Levi's clothes, they can be on top of women, and you can look smart.....Also, the women will come to you and smile at you...= =

Early Teen Pregnancy Test ad<<<<<

Text: The teenage girl is holding a pregnancy test stick....Like, something you just, like, gotta know!....the girl is smiling like she did the right thing....

Subtext: All the girls are gonna need such things... Encouraging the teenagers to do so....

Response: Maybe it's just because different culture, in the Western culture, it might be ok for the teenagers to be pregnant, but in Eastern culture, it is definetly not ok to be early-pregnant...

Tolerance...


Tolerance, ignorance or sufferance? Wise men chose the first two. Do not tell me to suffer to love everyone, like Jesus, because I am not.
If you don't like someone, bear with it, not murder them. If someone did something that bugs you, ignore it, don't suffer yourself and dont' smack them in their face. If ever once that you are sick of the entire world, tolerate it, and that's the only thing that you can do, unless you have the power to destroy the world like Handcock. Love and peace filled up our world, because of tolerance. If you have love, you will have hate; If you have tolerance, you have both.
Why do people got mentally ill sometimes? Because they suffer in the society. All they need to learn is tolerance.
Bear for a second or two, they sky will be clear.

Ode To Tolerance

Watching the homeless child
crap on the sidewalk

Watching the old couple
beg for spare change

Watch as they cry
because of gang violence

Watch as they're jailed
Watch from a far range

No Pain No Gain












What is Pain? To me, Pain is gain. No matter for what purpose, you get pain, you must gain something.



For culture or tradition in a certain region, like in Africa, they like to pierce holes on their body, that represent beauty and the highest pride. YES! That is painful, but to them, they get the dignity. Also in ancient China, foot binding was popular back in the days. It is very painful, but the men thought that was very delicate and represent beauty too.



Or sometimes, when people suffer in burden, they become suicidal. They might carve their skin(mental pain) in order to find a way to relief themselves. But once when they stand up from pain, they will understand the expense of life.



Pain is everywhere, and exist in different ways. They are not always bad because you can learn from the pain and gain something valuable(hopefully).



No Pain No Gain......

A letter to Mr. Kristof

Dear Mr. Kristof,

Hello, I'm a big fan of your open letter that published on November 14,2008. The title of the letter is "Obama and the War on Brains". It was a joyful piece of writing, which is kind of bias but I can totally make connection to it. For me, Obama is so far a great pigmentary leader that is not as fake as the previous president that likes to camouflage himself. But for one point, I don't agree with you, it is when you said: "Thoughtfulness is portrayed as wimpishness, and careful deliberation is for sisses." Actually, it is up side down to me. I think that thoughtfulness and careful deliberation are essential for a successful leader.
Also, as you claim that Obama and Emperor Nero is comparable, which you claim that smart people don't have a great record in power, that is your own opinion, because Obama needs time to show his own talent. We shouldn't judge people in their first apperence.
It is very nice to connect with you, hope to interview you face to face.

Great day!
Best Rg.
Stephanie
