A. Tom Hodgkinson despises Facebook.
B. Agree- My roommate spends Saturday nights at home alone on Facebook, drinking in her bed.
- Facebook and other internet social sites promote "a kind of vanity and self-importance" in people.
Disagree- Advertising in Newspapers is not pointless, they are directed at readers to specific papers.
- Not a disagreement, but the author thinks way too much about drinking.
2. After reading this article, the idea that the media is hypocritical stood out to me. I didn't know that the average household owns three televisions- but I guess I could have guessed that...

- Sex sells
- Vulnerability sells- it makes the consumer feel powerful
- Some women have wider shoulders than hips and are tall and thin... they just don't have any boobs...
- The "ideal" of womanhood has not changed that much in the last forty years
- I am a subject of the media
I felt kind of numb after viewing this clip.

1. FB: Some good ideas here but it seems as if you would have more to comment on... how bad was the trip back from Boston??!!
ReplyDelete2. Williams: In what ways is the media hypocritical? Anything else hit home?
3. Kilbourne: Again, your post is a bit brief (albeit poignant). Can you expand on how you are a subject of the media? Why/how did the film numb you out? Emotional overload?
