Blog #2

I just got done reading the section of Culture Jam that we were supposed to, and all I can think is that Lasn makes people seem like robots that have no emotion and can't think for themselves.  He keeps talking about how many advertisements there are and how we don't even notice them anymore.  I have to agree with that because I personally don't read many advertisements anymore, if I see one I just walk past it not caring about it.  He talked about the Manchurian Consumer, as being people programmed to go out and buy certain things on command, I thought that was pretty funny.  Something I found interesting was the part about the Unofficial History of America.  I never knew that corporations had so much power, and that they were granted the same rights as private citizens.  I thought that whole section was interesting.
For that documentary we had to watch, all I could think about was how pathetic those people were.  That's probably not nice haha, but thats what I was thinking about.  That game was consuming their lives and they were happy about it.  I play video games a good amount, but if I play them for too long I get bored with it so I have to stop, but some of the people in that documentary played that game non-stop for hours.  Also, I thought it was funny that people were getting married to each other after they met each other playing the game.  I think some people in this world are just so weird haha.

Introduction

Hey everybody, I'm Brian and I'm from Harrisburg.  I'm a sophomore majoring in business.  I am a BIG sports fan and I like all the Philly teams.  I play video games, mostly sports games, but I am a beast at Call of Duty lol.  I don't read many books and I'm in this class because it's a gen ed, so maybe I'll like the books we read.  This class seems easy and I'm pretty sure I will get an A, because that's what I expect to get in every class.
