Minute Paper 3/11/08

I liked today's class in starting with the adbuster activity. It was interesting to disrupt the many different popular advertisements that we see today. The commercial about eHarmony that Michelle had brought up came across an interesting point where you didn't see any interracial couples nor any homosexual couples either. The video that we had seen on GNN.tv also led to another class discussion on what is true and what is not. I personally think that anything you hear on the media doesn't necessarily means that it is completely true. The media has a way of putting a spin on actual facts and information that could lead to another way of looking at the story. I think that the truth can only be determined by what you yourself can gather from the different viewpoints.
