Who'da thunk it? Me the man hater not-so-much hating a man afterall? I can't wait.
In other news, thanks to all those (sra & amy) who gave me suggestions for teaching The Great Gatsby. To the rest of you pfffffffffffffffffft. I will give you one chance to redeem yourselves though... you may buy me pie. Or, you can help me decide how to teach a media unit on advertising.
I keep seeing really cool music videos like Pink's "Stupid Girl," but videos are not technically advertising. I have even fewer concrete ideas than I had for Gatsby, so please if you have suggestions or have seen some cool commercials I should watch for, let me know. That is your mission. I suggest you choose to accept it.
What does the "T" stand for anyhow?

Music is essential...hand in my pocket hand in my pocket hand in my pocket...can't get it out of my head!
maybe "time minus"?
That's my guess.
Pick a risque commercial! Or one that's mildly amusing that you can dissect. Back in Comm 1-0-something the prof showed that one with the figure skater playing hockey, the implications of super gayness, humour, whether or not the message of the commercial actually related back to the product.
Young peoples like to think they are unique. Shatter their ideals by showing them commercials from Old Navy. Or that one commercial where the two guys have nuclear powered cell phones and make fun of the other guy with a cell phone that is omigawd just a phone. In the end, they peer pressure him into getting a 400$ phone so that he can fit in as well...
Or you could just ask the wee little ones where the fuck they get all the cash to be buying 400$ cell phones and how I can get in on that sweet deal too.
Check out Carol J. Adams and that creepy Superbowl Burger King commercial with the dancing 'condiments.' There's an interesting analysis of it here:

Sarah is correct. T=time.
Though, shockingly enough, there is no specific reference to this in wikipedia.
