Cluetrain Manifesto???
After I read through the 95 thesis' i thought that a lot of them were a little confusing and didn't make a lot of sense to me. For example number 15 and 16 say...
In just a few more years, the current homogenized "voice" of business—the sound of mission statements and brochures—will seem as contrived and artificial as the language of the 18th century French court.
Already, companies that speak in the language of the pitch, the dog-and-pony show, are no longer speaking to anyone.
This didn't seem to relate to me or make a lot of sense. Not all of them are confusing or difficult to understand here is one that I liked a lot.
There are no secrets. The networked market knows more than companies do about their own products. And whether the news is good or bad, they tell everyone.
number 12 seemed very true. In business everyone knows everything about the products and whether the product is good or bad everyone is going to find out about it. There truly are no secrets. I also liked number 17 because it talks about my major advertising.
Companies that assume online markets are the same markets that used to watch their ads on television are kidding themselves.
this is very applicable today especially since the internet is talking over advertising and online advertising is the way of the future since everything is going viral. one that got a rise out of me was number 74.
We are immune to advertising. Just forget it.
This is a huge problem for me because if this is true then i am totally screwed since advertising is something that i want to do for awhile. If people just forget about advertising than a lot of products wouldnt sell and this would be terrible for the economy. So hopefully this thesis is one that is definitely not true.
It is weird that this was written about a decade ago. And a lot of these still apply today especially since the internet is such a huge part of the world today.

dueling videos
these videos are very well done. i think that they are smart ideas for both candidates. hillary’s video was very focused on being a funny attention getter. i thought the video was done to help sway people into thinking that hillary is cool and hip and it is smart to vote for her. obama’s video on the other hand had a more serious tone but used a lot of celebrity support. i liked obama’s video a lot. i thought it was much better than hillary’s video. i was swayed slightly toward obama just based on the video. so i guess obama’s video worked in the way it was intended.

Late breaking blog post...literally
Well there are three things that I am allowed to write about.
1. Super Bowl ads
2. Presidential Debates
3. Some event on campus which I know nothing about
This is a really tough decision for me. I have no idea what I should choose. They are all such amazing choices. Well lets flip a coin, heads I choose super bowl and tails I choose presidential debates, Because lets be honest there is no way I'm picking number three. (coin is now flipping in the air... I know that the suspense is killing you... it's heads!)
Well as you can see I have chosen(by a very scientific process) to write my blog about the ads that played during the super bowl. Now these aren't your ordinary ads. These are the greatest ads of all time. People spend an average of over 2.5 million dollars for an ad during the super bowl. I don't know about you but that is a lot of money to spend in 30 seconds. So if I am going to spend that much money then a lot of people had better see my ad. Well rest assured not only did a lot of people watch the super bowl, but 97.5 million people to be exact. That makes it the second most watched TV show of all time. Now enough about how important the ads need to be on such a high volume stage lets talk about my three favorite.
1.Tide - Stain
The reason this one is my favorite is because it made me laugh so loud that I will never forget this commercial. If you haven't seen it you need to go to youtube and find it, I promise its worth it.
2.Lifewater - Thriller
First of all it has thriller in the title so you know its good. And who doesn't like a bunch of lizards dancing like Michael Jackson. This commercial helps prove that Michael Jackson is timeless.
3.Deit Pepsi- What is love?
No comment... this one is so incredibly funny, you just have to go see it. Trust me.
This is only three of so many amazing commercials. Super bowl ads mean a lot of things to a lot of people. For example it is a make or break for some companies. They will spend their entire advertising budget on one ad for the super bowl, and if the ad tanks than so does the company's profit for that year. Also if an advertising firm is hired to do a super bowl ad for some company and the ad fails than you can expect a lot of people to lose their jobs.
Another reason I feel that these commercials are different from all others. Is because it sparks so much conversation every year. You can say to someone "hey did you see such and such ad?" and if they haven't then you can laugh at them and tell them how stupid they are for missing it. I'm only kidding of course. These are the only commercials that people dont skip over with Tivo. These commercials are a part of our pop culture and they demand to be watched. So if you haven't seen them or you weren't one of the 97.5 million people watching then shame on you and hurry and watch these before you become the "karen" of the group. The only reason that is acceptable for missing some of the super bowl is if you were "watching family guy". Then you are forgiven provided you watched most of it. Many people don't even watch for the game, they just want to see the commercials. So now you know the best ones. So make sure to watch next year or just find them online. Have a great day and thanks for reading my super long rant about super bowl ads. Aren't you glad it landed on heads instead of tails?
