500 friend responce

Yea, facebook maybe a place where you can have a million friends and can see everything they are doing...but in my opinion seeing statuses about random kids underage drinking and doing illegal things, or how much someone hates/loves another person isn't something i want to see every five minutes. I agree that maybe some people can only be in close contact with 150 people at a time. But really, i believe its less than that. For myself i can only be close to about 50 a week. It all depends on how often im out or how often i am "online".

Nothing New, Advertisement response

Just another advertisement that is about the level of "coolness" put out for teens. Its an image from Glamour magazine, for Target brand clothing.  Its has a young woman dressed in all Target clothing and the words "Cool Never Fades".
Just another low blow to the female community about self image. Nothing outlandish but it gets the idea across. I do enjoy advertisements but only because I don't take in the shit message they're trying to get out, i see them as another art form because it has many levels to it. They all just want you to buy the items they're selling, and maybe the best way they can accomplish that is to make you think you can't live without it. Maybe your skin is aging and you want to feel "pretty" again, so you buy this make up that says it can defy age. Thats how the system works. You feel like shit about your self image, you see an add saying their item can make you feel better, so in all desperation you buy said item. Maybe you realize that once you have it you don't actually need it and you made a mistake by buying it, but that isn't the point, you already bought it. You abided by their rules and caved into the consumerism.
