Voting Question: Funny Rodeo Commercial?

Today on ESPN I caught the last couple seconds of what looked to be a pretty funny commercial. I am pretty sure the commercial itself was advertising the 2010 National Rodeo Finals. It had two attractive women sitting at a bar and a stop watch in the bottom corner (like in a bull riding contest). Any time a guy approached the gals, the clock started timing how long it took for the guy to get shot down. The last scene is of a guy who walks up in the background, smiles, and walks off (the clock doesn't even start timing). Anyway, does anyone know where I can find a link to this commercial? Thanks. more

Voting Question: The "GAMES 4 U" store is advertising a contest where you can earn a coupon for 50% off the admission price to?

The "GAMES 4 U" store is advertising a contest where you can earn a coupon for 50% off the admission price to the amusement park. In order to receive the coupon, you must compete against another contestant in an integer contest. The Contest: Using a standard deck of cards, play a game similar to the game "Twenty-one." The winner of the game gets the coupon; the loser gets nothing. The Object of the Game: Each player will try to get a set of cards that add up to the number 21 or come close to 21 without going over. If a player's cards add up to a number over 21, that player automatically loses the game. (In this game, we are trying to reach positive 21.) How do you play? Ask a brother, sister, parent, grandparent, or friend to play this game with you. This person will be your opponent. You may have more than one opponent if you would like. Find a standard deck of playing cards and remove the jokers and the face cards. (Face cards are labeled J, Q, K and have a picture of a person on them.) The black cards represent positive integers and the red cards represent negative integers. The number cards 2 through 10 represent values 2 - 10. The "ace" (A) cards represent the number 1. Shuffle the cards and lay one card in front of each player face down. Now, lay one more card in front of each player face up. Each player peeks at his or her card that is face down without allowing the opponent to see its value. The player should add that card to the value of the card that is facing up. Next, the players may take turns asking for another card to add to their pile. This card should be placed face up next to the other card that is already facing up. Each player should do a mental calculation of the value of his or her stack of cards. (Remember red cards are negative values and black cards are positive values.) You may continue asking for more cards until you get a stack of cards that add up to a number as close to 21 as you can come. If you go over 21 with your cards, you must stop playing immediately as you are out of the game. Your assignment: Submit your answers to the four questions below as project "02.11 A Coupon For You." How many times did you have to play the game until you were the winner? If you won the first time, then you get the 50% off coupon to the amusement park. Way to go! If not, better luck next time. What did your winning hand look like? Type the description of the cards in your winning hand in the assignment page. For example: My Hand: red 5 + red 2 + black 10 + black 8 + black 2 + black 7 = +20 What did your opponent's hand look like in the game where you were the winner? Type the description of your opponent's hand. For example: My Opponent's Hand: black 6 + black 8 + red 2 + red 4 + black 10 + black 5 = +23 Did you think playing the game helped you practice adding integers? Was it fun? more

Resolved Question: Can you please proofread my work?

Can you please proofread my work? Advertising to children has become big business in recent years, with kids under 12 spending over 24 billion dollars of their own money in 2009 and directly influencing the spending of 188 billion more. From a sociological point of view, however, this phenomenon is related to the rise in the “money culture” that places value on an individual based on what he or she posses. This surge in child consumerism has resulted in a keen interest among marketers in knowing what makes kids tick. Marketers have discovered that intriguing fact that it is very well possible to sell to children. They know that the child consumers of today are the largest and fastest growing market. To learn more, advertisers have hired well-paid psychological consultants to help them study every phase and stage of a child’s life. The results are sophisticated, finely-honed commercials that work. All around the world, children spend more time in television than they spend in class. TV sometimes exceeds sleeping hours. Such prolonged hours in front of the TV play a major role in forming the children’s consumption pattern. It is no wonder, these days television advertising is so effective. According to Nancy Shalek, then president of Shalek Agency, “Television has become the best medium for advertisement. Advertising at its best is making people feel that without their product, you’re a loser. Kids are very sensitive to that. If you tell them to buy something, they are resistant. But if you tell them they’ll be a dork if they don’t, you’ve got their attention. You open up emotional vulnerabilities, and it’s easy to do with kids because they’re the most vulnerable” Marketers also work hard to increase their product’s “nag factor,” a term which refers to how often and how vehemently children pressure parents to buy an item. Parents feel guilty about purchasing items, such as junk food or violent video games that they believe are bad for their kids. On the other hand, they worry that by constantly saying “no” they will increase their child’s depression or worsen parent-child relationship. Afsana Parvin, mother of 7-year-old Deepika, says.” Because she is so young it is difficult to explain the pressure it creates on parents. And she is the only child so it is hard to say no.” “Kids these days ask for more because they are exposed to so many things right now. When we were kids, we were not exposed to all these advertisements. In fact, the media was very limited in our times,” points out Dalia Arefin, a bank employee. Parent, meanwhile, in their earnestness to give the best to their child may go a bit overboard with their generosity and give in to their endless demands without any thinking. But by encouraging such materialism, are we really benefitting our kids? It is children’s tendency to show off and have the latest cool thing. When they do so, other children of their same age go through peer pressure and feel that if they don’t have that “cool” thing they are worthless. Most parents are very unsatisfied about the marketing of food to children. Food advertising on TV is often for junk foods like chanachur, potato chips, juices, soft drinks and candies. Total airtime of these foods always exceeds commercials for healthy food. Fast food shops all around the world spend billions to advertise their foods, for persuading kids. To directly target children, the fast food industry uses more than traditional commercials. Restaurants offer incentives such as play-grounds, contests, clubs, games and free toys. The free-gift marketing strategy has been there for generations in western countries and now our part of the world is trying to catch up with this trend. Another disturbing trend in child advertising is the targeting of very young children. Mike Searles, then president of Kids-R-Us, a major children’s clothing store, believes there are great advantages to hooking a child as soon as possible: “[I]f you own this child at an early age, you can own this child for years to come. Companies are saying ‘Hey, I want to own the kid younger and younger’” (as quoted in Ruskin, 1999, p. 42). As kids are becoming more powerful consumers, marketers are targeting them even more bluntly. To make kids spend more, the advertisers are letting their imagination run wild using sophisticated psychological techniques which includes catchy jingles, dances and cute cartoon characters, portraying adventures and mysterious worlds, always implying that their products will bring unbounded happiness. “The only thing I want to be is a beyblade player and go to the big stadium and become a champion,” says Sunny. He actually thought that the beyblade cartoon was real and has a collection of 67 beyblades! Advertisements can shape self-image and values of our children. Young children have difficulty distinguishing between advertisements and reality, and may not understand that ads are there to sell something for profit rather than with pu more

Voting Question: Why I am unhappy and any solutions? Please help.?

I'm in a situation where I'm done school, and not studying further at the moment. Having less work schedule due to just how my company runs, everyone has been hit. Typical economy issue. Anyways, I'm struggling to find the strength to go for my passion. Its been months out of school and I feel like have nothing to hold on to at the moment. What I studied well, its kinda unconventional, within design and advertising/marketing. I'm starting to feel regrets about the money and time spent, and I want to pursue other things that I've been doing but have been told that I couldn't make money out of it: music/dj-ing/production/engineering/acting for voice-over.... I'm committed. Produce songs/mixes each day, music conventions, and I just am inspired each day to do it; a lot of creative energy. I hope to combine music and design as my creative identity someday. (Also I sing/dance and perform at gigs/contests time to time.) Anyways, what troubles me: is the *money to pull through.. And other factors such as *health, *stress, and *family talks. My family and some relatives are pushing me to do other things, much more viable... I swore last year that I was gonna do medicine or something more secure, but I figured I wouldn't be happy. It just wouldn't be me. *I get easily irritated and complain easy. *And need to help myself from being so misdirected. I have A LOT of people coming at me telling me things like, "oh, blah went to that school and quit studying it and did something else cause she said there was no money in it", and somebody else telling me "give me your degree, I can find a job" in a bigot like way. I feel like I am depressed. I know I really want to help myself. It's going to be a year from the time I totally got frustrated at work one afternoon, my mind told me that I just couldn't stand it anymore. I freaked out and balled. The fight in the morning, before work, with my family about "what I should be doing with myself" got to me. Recently, I've picked up a couple of self help books, and also visited hundreds of websites on how to achieve, topics such as: understanding that who you surround yourself with will/will not encourage your success, and biographies of the successful and how they did it. I don't know what else I could do to get into the right mindset and just go, never turn back, have a plan, and GO. Please, I would appreciate any insight. more

Why? Because it is his anniversairy, and also; his wife wants tp see 2 matches, so i have to make them, so here they are: Traci Brooks vs TNA's newest superstar RIKISHI, but he figued that that is just a grudge against Traci, so he modified it a bit K.A.Z and Traci vs Awesome Kong and Tomko with Rikishi as special enforcer!!!

Resolved Question: Does anyone have a good slogan for an Adopt-Your-Block-Program?

The purpose of the contest is to come up with a slogan for a new adopt-your-block-program to help combat the litter problem in our neighborhoods and on our streets. It needs to be something short and catchy to be used in all the publicity and advertising. No more that 6-9 words. This is lame, but something like.. " Beat The Clock..Clean Your Block" I was thinking of using " Combat with us..hit it out of the block" a play on words with "come bat with us.. hit it out of the park." Any Suggestions? more

Resolved Question: Do you think JNTO's goal of 10 million inbound tourists to Japan by 2010 will be achieved?

Just wondering what everyone thinks of JNTO's goal of getting 10 million tourists to Japan by 2010, and then on to 20 million in 2020. Do you think that, looking at current numbers and trends, it is achieveable, or even conceivable? Reasons for: - The tourism board has set up a Facebook and Twitter account to reach and attract people - 2010 has been announced as a 'Visit Japan' year - A new 'Visit Japan 2010' website has been launched - Increased tourism budgets - London Underground advertising campaign - Competition held for US citizens - Information packs being sent out to the US citizens who took part in the contest - Pop culture (Anime, Manga, music, video games, movie) interests increasing abroad - English more widely used - Growing Asian market Reasons against: - Cost of a trip there is very high - Considered a racist nation by some - Peoples perceptions are different from the actual place - Language barrier - Too confusing a place - Options of cheaper package holidays (especially popular in Britain) - Lack of interest - Youth (particularly in my country) deteriorating e.g. spending all money on drinking etc - The ones with the strongest interest in going are too young to do so, and by adulthood, may have changed their minds - It has taken 3 years (2004 - 2007, about 6 million to about 8 million) in the past to achieve the 2 million tourists they need to hit the 10 million mark, while they now expect to do that by the end of this year more

Resolved Question: How would I bulk mail this? Non-Profit?

I am a 9th grader and I am setting up an academic contest for 3rd to 8th graders in my county. There will be monetary prizes for the top couple winners of the contest. However, each person entering the contest must pay a $15 test fee. 100% will be donated to the American Red Cross -Haiti Relief Fund. How would I advertise this? This is 100% non-profit and I do not have a non-profit tax ID number. I tried calling newspapers to write articles, but I haven't received a response yet. Advertising is very expensive in the newspapers so what should i tell them? I can also mail postcards and flyers, but how would I do that in bulk mailing? I do not have an address list or anything..

Resolved Question: How do you find a sponsor? what is a sponsor?

I'm a high school student, and I'm doing a poetry contest around my county. There is an entry fee for the contest, and that money will be donated to a charity. The charity has agreed to endorse me (not monetarily). So, my question is: what is a sponsor? because I need someone to help me advertise, and I need someone to help me raise the money for the prize fo the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners of the contest--money which I don't have, and if I don't get enough submissions, I don't want to get out of my own pocket. So, can anyone please explain to me the exact role of a sponsor? because I read the wikipedia definition and other definitions and I really can't understand? also, can anyone explain to me what would be the role of a sponsor considering my situation. and, who could be a sponsor for me? could I ask barnes and noble, or a local library? Thanks! more

Resolved Question: What should I do about this World of Warcraft ban?

My friend had his WoW account banned. He only had it for a few days, and he got a message saying he was permanently banned for 'advertising third parties' on public chats. He has never once posted an ad, and rarely even talks. He only talks to his guild, or occasionally says 'thank you' to those who buff him. He used Linux, so it seems unlikely that he has a keylogger, but no one else had his password. Some help please? What should he do? He has already responded to the Blizzard email to contest it, but he has had no response. He uses wireless internet, and suspects he may have been hacked. His antivirus shows no issues. more

Voting Question: My appeal was denied, but I still want to fight this parking ticket. Where should I begin?

I received a $50 ticket because of a Winter Parking Ban. I appealed it because I wasn't given sufficient notice (If you're going to charge $50, you might as well put up some signs. Other towns I've lived in circulate parking ordinances by mail). My appeal was denied on the grounds that the ban was advertised on a local radio station (sorry, I listen to NPR) and there are signs posted throughout town (not remotely true). Now I'm going to pay the fee, so I won't get hounded. Nevertheless, I would still like to contest this. Should I request a court date? Do I have a non-feasanse case? This isn't actually about the money, so I'm willing to spend more than $50 for justice (within reason ;-)). more

Resolved Question: Which Poem Should I Pick?

I have to do a prestentation on a poem for grade 11 english, but I hate poetry and dont know much about it. So I have a couple possibilties, both by Emily Dickenson. I'm Nobody! Who Are You? by Emily Dickinson. I'm nobody! Who are you? Are you nobody, too? Then there's a pair of us - don't tell! They'd advertise - you know! How dreary to be somebody! How public like a frog To tell one's name the livelong day To an admiring bog! For Each Ecstatic Instant by Emily Dickinson. For each ecstatic instant We must an anguish pay In keen and quivering ratio To the ecstasy. For each beloved hour Sharp pittances of years, Bitter contested farthings And coffers heaped with tears. So thats the 2 I kind of like, because they are easy and have an obvesous meaning. I haven't got time to pick through for the...deeper meaning. Which should I use? more

Resolved Question: What activity would get someone to sponsor a dog?

I need something that a dog can do in the winter. i need it to be something multiple dogs can do in a contest, and people can pay to sponsor the dog. I'm doing this to raise money for my local animal shelter. i am thinking i can get someone to "rent" a dog, (with me staying with the dog the whole time for obvious reasons.) and they could advertise with the dog and the "renter". or is there any ideas you have that could earn the animal shelter a lot of money? i don't want it to be a contest on the dogs skill because the dogs vary in skill and obedience. i just need some kind of way to earn the animal shelter money, and get a LOT of people from my small town to come and participate! thanks! best answer gets "best answer" lol jk more

Resolved Question: What is this very old tv game show?

I saw this years ago on the game show network, and never again since. It was in black and white, and the host stood behind a desk that shamelessly advertised the show's sponsor. I don't remember the name of the sponsor, but by the look of the show it was from the 40's or 50's. People had to perform strange and difficult things for prizes. I'll set the stage... Two stools were set up, and on each of them was a tea cup. The contestant had a T shaped stick, and the stools were just barely further apart than the length of the top of the T. Attached to either side of the top of the T was a ball on a string. The object was to drop one ball into the tea cup, and without knocking anything over, drop the other ball into the other cup. Another contestant was faced with a row of chairs, seven of them, which were all facing towards the audience, side by side. The contestant had to stand behind the first chair, and by pushing only, line up all seven chairs front to back. And so he pushed the chair in a circle until it lined up with the second chair, continued pushing them both in a circle until they lined up with the third chair, and so on until he was pushing all seven chairs (which didn't look very easy to steer) into a predetermined "parking space." Those are just examples of things they did on this show. I'd imagine there were other strange contests on other episodes. I've only ever seen it that one time, at about 2AM, and aside from occasionally checking the game show network (with no results) I don't even know how to begin to find it using traditional research, internet or otherwise. I will gladly award ten points to anyone who has any idea what I'm talking about and can point me in the right direction. Otherwise, I'm leaving it to voters. more

Resolved Question: Where is a good place (website or art blog) to advertise my COVER ART COMPETITION?

I'm a writer who is working on many different short stories & novels at the moment. There are 3 particular stories which I plan to have printed and bound in the near future. So, I am holding a little contest where artists have a chance to design the cover art for 3 of my novels. For this COVER ART COMPETITION, I am looking for young, amateur artists with unique ideas and talent. They can choose to design a piece of art for 1 of the 3 novels, or they could try designing for all 3 if they'd like to! The winner will have their art showcased on the cover of my novel when it is printed and bound, which will most likely be at the end of 2010 or beginning of 2011. There will be 3 winners, 1 for each of my books. I'm already advertising the competition on Quizilla, [because that's where I post chapters from some of my stories] but I'd like to find a better place to publicize it. Maybe there's a website where artists blog and share art with others... or some sort of community board where young wanna-be artists gather and chat. Haha. I don't know. So if you can think of any places where I could find a lot of willing artists, then please let me know so I can go ahead and post all of the rules and competition details there. Also, if you are interested, then just contact me and I'll fill you in! more

Resolved Question: What can be done about false advertising about a judged contest?

I entered a contest that was listed as a 'Celebrity look alike COSTUME contest." It was out of town so I called to make sure it would be judged by a panel and not applause. I'm sure everybody knows how that works, it ends up being a 'who has the most friends here tonight' contest. So the manager assured me there would be a judging panel. I put a lot of effort into my costume and even had to drive out of town to attend this event which the ended up making judged by applause at the last minute. I was the only person there in costume, I lost to 3 people wearing jeans and t-shirts. I was from out of town and didn't have all my friends there. Is there anything I can do about this injustice? more

Resolved Question: please check this letter for me~a little long..?

Hi, I'm kenwen. I have traselated this letter to English. I am really appreciate if someone could check this for me. Dec.15 is my deadline and I cannot find any native speaker around me. And two more letters need to be checked. Could you please check them for me as well? Thanks!!! By the way, I think I am good at Chinese and Japanese. I would like to help anyone with Chinese and Japanese problem. Dear Sir or Madam As Miss. xxxx’s lecturer and advisor, I know this student very well. She has extremely strong ability to learn, and high creativity. I strongly recommend her to enroll in the PHD course in your college. Firstly, Miss.xxxxx has strong ability to learn and great potential. Honestly, she is not good at Japanese at first, since her major at our University was not Japanese language. But she reached the level to speak and understand Japanese quite well after six months of stay in Japan. She could lead 15 Japanese students in a work shop to develop a creative product to promote environment conscious society, and made a presentation in front of big audience in this workshop. The team won the best team award. Also, she applied to a paper contest entitled “For Symbiosis between Japan and the World” sponsored by Nomura Research Institute, a Japan leading research and consulting firm. The title of her paper, consisting of 10 thousand words in Japanese was “Borrow the Power of Doraemon! Product placement advertising in animation”, and again awarded to Judges Special Prize in the contest. Another example to show her strong ability to learn is that she mastered advanced statistics course given in our medical school within a short period of time to the level enough to assist my PHD student in conducting an epidemic field work for the thesis. She applied statistics analysis method in the right manner and utilizes software properly, contributing to the excellent thesis. When she found an opportunity to learn, she always reached the level more than I had expected. Secondly, her creativeness really impressed me. She showed this ability both in her academic research and daily practice. In her assignment report, you can always find some interesting concepts rather than the ordinary thinking styles. I remember that when DENTSU, a Japan and World major communication firm, held a contest for paper on the advertisement, she wrote a thesis about “War and Advertising”, She gave a concept of "Pensieve advertising”. She explained that the advertisement or campaign about wars could be more than vision and narration, and any other senses of the human body could be added on. This creative idea finally won Students Advertising Paper Award. In her practice, she always used her brain very well and intensively. When she attended the internship program at Hokkaido Television Broadcasting Company, she took part in a project to introduce the tour in Hokkaido in a different way from normal reports for Hokkaido like just providing information on sites. She created a campaign proposal based upon “unique selling proposition” which was based on her research on the feathers of Hokkaido. She developed a proposal entitled“Romantic Hokkaido” and gained lots of high praise from the department she worked for as an intern. Knowing that work and her building reputation, I was also impressed and gratified. Based on both professional and individual performance, I, with confidence, admit that Miss. xxxxx has analytical as well as creative, and comprehensive talent. Also, she is really a person who sweats at brain, body and heart to accomplish the mission utilizing the talent, regardless the mission is given or she set it for herself. I believe this young woman’s unusual character will make her competent for further graduate study abroad. I would really appreciate it if you could accept her into your programs. If you want to discuss anything pertaining to her application, please do not hesitate to contact me. more
