Chapter one

I am enjoying reading through Tuesdays's reading. It is not overwhelming. It seems more clear and concise than previous books and articles we have read. I smiled to myself when I read about Titanic being the highest grossing film as of 2003. I definitely contributed to that sum (saw it a whopping 14 times in theaters...but back off, i was in SEVENTH grade and hey...it was Leo). Anyway...

Breaking through 'the clutter' is exactly what "The Persuaders" gave us a glimp in to. The problem is that 'seeing is not always believing' so the more propaganda and advertising that is thrown out into the world makes it all the worse for getting a product across.

I have to admit though, the third section on war started to annoy me. That section was the least enjoyable to me. I am not quite sure where the harm in using the Bond films as some sort of advertising whether is be for BMW or whoever...I see the point being made, but I do not see the danger or harm in it. So why talk about it?

I enjoyed the writing style, much easier to grasp than other things we have read...but I cant say that I agree with or enjoy reading it. The last paragraph of the reading I REALLY am not going to even touch...I can give my whole opinion but for the sake of arguement I am just going to 'let it go'. But if I had to pick one place in this weeks reading out that realllly got to me...that would be it. Now that I am officially frustrated im going to bed! Goodnight!
