Savvy Consumerism

Date Mon, June 27 2011

Lately, I’ve been paying a lot of attention to commercials and I’ve noticed a lot of them using these type of words: artistic rendering representation depiction simulation dramatization Essentially, all these words mean “fake.”  As if, we’re showing you something to get you to buy our product or service but it’s not an actual image [...]

Leave Well Enough Alone

Date Tue, June 21 2011

This post brought to you by Walgreens. All opinions are 100% mine. One of the things that I became used to when I was living in Milwaukee, and then San Antonio, was the abundance of stores like Walgreens. I used joke that there was a Walgreens every six blocks and while that may not be [...]
