I think that actors and models put a lot of preasure on teens today, makes everyone want to look like the people they see on tv.

Sexual Images and Violence

I think that this commercial is appropriate to a certian extent, it is funny for people who have a good sence of humor but i think that it is only appropriate for a certian group of people. This is boarder line. i think that there is some commercials that cross the line. I like this and I also find it funny.

Violence in movies



Yes, in this case, violence does make a good movie. If there wasnt no violence n this movie then there would be no point in making it. It depends on the movie. I think the violence is realistic.

adult animation

I do enjoy watching cartoons that are for adult audiences, some of the shows include The Simpsons, Family Guy, Undergrads and South Park. Family Guy and other shows do have some offensive shows, but this is the age of expression, and if getting your point across to a lot of people is the creators choice. There has been one or two episodes of family guy where i have been offended, just because the subject they were making fun of delt with somethin I knew about or had dealt with. I would allow younger children to watch some of these shows, like Simpsons or Family Guy, but not other ones like South Park because there is more foul language on those shows. As a parent I would say that I would allow them to watch it because it is just for a laugh and some of the younger children dont understand it, but if they take any of the bad things from the show and bring them into their everyday life, then they will have to stop watching these shows.

Animation

What i found interesting is that the cartoon's never talked,they just had music playing in the background.
First off they had the same characters back then,as they do now.For example snow white,porky pig,daffy duck.They all have a conflict and a resolution.
I don't find them as interesting back then.They dont have the sound effects and the they dont have the colorful colors they do now.
I grew up watching daffy duck,porky pig,and felix the cat.
Im surprised that they have the same charcters back then,as they do now.I think they are still popular because they are comical,they catch their attention.When you hear porky pig,or daffy speak you can spot them out.
They would probally react the say way i did,i found it was boring.Children these days want to see super hereos.They want to see spiderman leaping from building to building,or a princess that finds her true love

Fat Kat

i never knew that FatKat has worked on shows such as Caillou, Carl Squared and Family Guy. As well they have had major clients such as Pepsi, Microsoft and Toyota.I liked how the blog had lots of video and had lots of infomation about each one.There nothing that i dont like about it.What did you do on Family Guy?How long have you been doing these animations?

My Role

My Favourite Media





I like counrty music because it is relaxing and I love old country and how it is slow and not speaking so fast you cant understand it.

The characters are Opie and Anthony and they fight over everything they do at the end they fought so much the world blows up and it doesn't have any violence.

Characters in Television

The main character in Half life 2 is Gordon Freeman, a white, Christan man. He was a scientist in the first game and is now fighting for his life, he is about 35-40 i would say it isn't stated. He is a hero in the game.
