One example of a couple from pop culture I like to think about is Jim and Pam from The Office. Jim and Pam are work friends for a long time before they get married and have kids together. This teaches other people that it is quite possible to meet your spouse at work, and a significant amount of couples in real life actually meet each other this way. It also shows that friends make good couples as well. I think this contradicts Klosterman's idea of "fake love" because these are both very normal things to happen and makes for a reasonable couple to adore. If someone were to compare their relationship to Jim and Pam's it wouldn't really be that extraordinary.

A brand's identity involves how the brand expresses itself and how it wants potential consumers to recognize it. I think of it as the "vibe" given off by the company. One brand I am typically a consumer of is American Eagle. American Eagle appeals to consumers that are in their teens and twenties. I believe this to be true because these are the people shown in their ads, and their products aren't too ridiculous when it comes to pricing, assuming people in their teens and twenties don't have very much disposable income to blow on higher end clothes like Gucci or Louis. American Eagle has high quality clothing for everyday life, whether you want to look a little nicer, look casual, or if you're going to workout, they will have a little something for all of those. One brand I would not consider myself a common consumer of is the company Express. Express sells somewhat pricey clothing for business casual, professional, and formal events. I believe they appeal mos...

When we watched the videos on what different talk show hosts, guests, and news anchors thought about the Duke University student who performed in pornography their opinions and focus varied slightly. Some of the voices we got to here from were those of the ladies on The View. This was different than the other videos because we got to hear the opinions of several women, as opposed to one or two people. This video we didn't get a male perspective, but we to hear form the actress herself, which I believe is the most important voice of them all. The ladies were all very empowering for the most part, except for the end when one of the hosts says "It breaks my heart." when she was told the actress watched porn at 12 years old, which isn't all that crazy. The rest of the ladies seemed to agree with the actress since she said it makes her happy and empowered. I believe this shows that people are supportive of another's sexual choices as long as they're happy, except ...

The two videos we watched about Bieber's photoshop debacle were both centered around the celebrity's edited photoshoot but covered seperate issues. The first video made by ThinkTank talked more about the flaws within Bieber's photoshop job, photoshop in general, and pointing out why the photo is obviously fake. The issue behind this is no matter how much evidence you have to support something, people will still deny accusations against them, especially males, and especially when it comes to the size of their penis. Bieber has too much pride to admit the photo was fake. They talked about the idea that the real reason he denied accusation was because the bulge in his underwear was altered, and if it werent for that, he would've been more willing to admit the photo was fake. This can't be proven, but I believe that's kind of what went down. The second video was made by MTVs Laci Green on a show called Braless. Green talks more about the issues behind male's bo...
