Healthy Heinz

Another one? I recently came across this Heinz advertisement that promotes healthy eating just like the other I blogged about. This picture is a little more creative than the other but it still displays the freshness of the ingredients in the product. I think Heinz is trying to change the public perspective on ketchup because I know when I think of Ketchup, I think of fattening foods like fries or burgers. Maybe our perception is wrong, maybe ketchup isn't as bad as people think it is. I think Heinz achieved what they were trying to accomplish with this ad which was to change our perception of ketchup.

Tweeting Rules


Are there places that you find yourself tweeting that you shouldn't be? I never understood the whole Twitter obsession but apparently people don't know their limits. I think this is great that there is an article that actually gives you rules to know when you are going to far with technology. When can it ever be that important that you need to tweet in the emergency room or bathroom? This article reveals the seven places that are absolutely unacceptable to tweet. Take notes and remember if you tweet excessively, you should probably calm it down.

Treating Women like a piece of Meat

This advertisement made me stop and think because in our society today, chivalry is hard to find. I feel that our generation has a skewed vision of romance and relationships. In fact, technology has definitely played a role in this since it is such a large portion of our lives. How we interact with one another revolves around social media and technology and I have noticed a drastic change in our communication and relationships. When is it acceptable to ask a girl on a date via text or use Facebook statuses as a way to bash people? Has technology gone too far and are there any limits? I have seen this happen many times and I think it's absolutely disturbing. This advertisement is great and I feel that it should be seen because women are not a piece of meat. Women deserve romance and a man to take the initiative to pursue instead of expecting.

Verbal Abuse

This advertisement for verbal abuse caught my attention because it took a huge risk by being controversial. Not only is the issue controversial, once you provide a visual, it hits you like a brick. Verbal abuse is an issue that should be taken just as seriously as other types of violence. I thought it was very clever and eye opening. I have failed to see any advertisements like it in the recent years and I was shocked.
