Awareness... matters


Today in class I was describing and explaining an advertisement to the class. The advertisement was for Geek Squad - I am sure I could look for the ad and try to post it on here... Well I did that, but I couldn't find the actual ad, so i will use this as a substitute:

Anyways I was talking about the play on the breast cancer awareness ribbons that people are all very familiar with. However, when explaining this to the class, I sort of forgot the "cancer" part of the explanation... You can imagine the disarray when I told the class that the advertisers wanted to play with the popularity of Breast Awareness...

Yeah, it was an interesting day of class.

Orange Juice

This will be a really quick entry. I don't think I will be writing every night, but this just happened and I have to write about it.

So I was drinking my midnight orange juice, as i often tend to do. As I was putting it away I noticed that on the top of the carton it said, "Best used by February 23". Okay, first of all, I shouldn't have put the date in quotes because I just made it up, I forgot the actual date on the label so don't call me on it. Secondly, don't you think that that is some pretty hard language coming from my orange juice? My carton is telling me that I "best use" my orange juice before the end of February - as in a demand. That is a terroristic threat, and of course I do not negotiate with terrorists. Needless to say, I am not giving into the demands and I will use my OJ when I am good and ready, and you BEST mind your own damn business orange juice carton!

Orange Juice is now being added to the terrorist watch list. Threat level... orange?

Names

Does anyone else think that the word Cucumber is absolutely hilarious? I have no idea why it is funny, but it makes me laugh.

And on a similar - yet completely unrelated topic - can we all agree that a Tomato does NOT belong with the fruit grouping? Sure, it has fruit-like attributes, but is that really enough to justify? I mean with that logic wouldn't we have to say that Rosanne is talented? Anyways, we should all agree that a Tomato is a Vegetable and Pluto is most certainly a planet!

Still more changes ahead! Stay tuned for a full update!
