Axe Controversey commercial

After we watched the provocative Axe commercial where the women are crawling on the floor like "sexy tiger-esses" trying to seduce the world. (in which they seduced every person I showed that video to...including myself and I'm a girl) I was almost questioning my sexuality...although the ad is absolutely ridiculous, the women do a great job being sexy and sensual.

Unilever undoubtedly got what they wanted; which was the attention of the public. Now, there is a huge controversey over Axe and Dove being the same company trying to portray two completely different images, and deliver two completely different messages.

It just goes to show...The company truly doesn't believe in their product, if they did...they would pick one or the other...and stick with it.

It's almost like a guilty conscience. Axe sits on one shoulder with devil ears and a pitchfork, and Dove sits on the other shoulder with angel wings. You choose one or the other! You can't have your cake and eat it too......or can you? (when money is involved....you might as well eat the whole damn thing right?)

This quote tells it all... "Unilever is in the business of selling products, not values, and that means we, the consumers,are being manipulated, no matter how socially responsible an ad seems."

Asian and Asian-American stereotypes

I don't watch a ton of movies with Bruce Lee....or Jacki Chan (Chan known more for his incredible stunts), but I absolutely agree about the stereotype he is identified with. It's sort of like...Vin Diesel. The first movie that I noticedVin Diesel was "The Fast and the Furious (2001" (Paul Walker wasn't too shabby in that movie either) He played this bald & sexy, big-muscle, macho tough guy that stole fast sports cars & knew he kicked ass... kind of character. Then, a few years later he played in this movie called The Pacifier, which was lame. He played a much softer role in this movie, frankly I think the movie was just cheesy...I guess the point I am trying to make is that, Vin Diesel, in my opinion, only belongs in action movies. (Thats horrible for me to say) but that is my opinion, unfortunately.
Jim Carey and Robin Williams, Will Ferrel are stereotyped as humorous characters...I think Will Ferrel could pull off a more serious character more so than Robin and Jim. I saw Robin Williams in "One hour Photo", it was ok...but a bit disturbing. I think that the main reason I felt it disturbing because Robin Williams reminds me a lot like my father; he is hilarious, brilliant, approachable, friendly, and kind. I feel almost as if I "personally know" Robin Williams...just through all the characters he has played through out his career. I want to see Robin cracking jokes, not killing or stalking people.
