Deceptional Pictures

The five pictures that stood out the most were the very first photo, which was the picture of Katie Couric. It was obvious that her body was slimmed to make her skinner. The second photo was of the copied soldiers. The third photo was the one of Oprah’s head on another’s model’s body. The fourth was the picture of the grasshopper on a pickup truck. The last picture that stuck out the most was the picture of a man on top of a fish.

The picture that most stood out the most was the picture of Oprah. I'm not trying to be rude with O, but we all know that she hasn't been that skinny as long as we( the audience) known her for. When I first looked at the photo my eyes instantly looked at the neck than body and I already knew from there that it wasn't her. At first I was thinking 'wow like nobody would know this was fake. After reading the caption to the right of it, I forgave her and said "oh, she didn't know". So I guess O and I are cool now. I'll see her today at 4 o'clock today after school. :D

Violence in Media... Hmmm..

Media in violence to me has really changed since my day. I mean… when I was younger the cartoons and stuff didn’t really harm anyone. Ok, we (the audience) laugh when a cartoon character gets hurt, we laugh cause it’s funny. Yes, I know it’s not funny when a REAL person gets hurt, BUT that’s WAAAAAYY different from a cartoon. Now on the other hand we have violence that’s practically real, like in realistic games, on movies, shows, pictures, radio, etc. Now when I say there different this is what I mean; cartoon violence for instance MGM (Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Inc.) They played old cartoons like Looney Tunes and Short random cartoons on Boomerang. Now with those kinds of cartoons, you would NEVER see blood. I MEAN…. EVER!!!! That’s just one example of cartoon violence, there are others like anime. With anime they show a lot of blood and violence but that doesn’t mean that ALL cartoon violence is bad. Ok, now when you see blood or fighting or something similar to those, you instantly attract to it. It makes you want to be the guy kicking the other guy in the head. It looks nice but I mean… ummm not the nicest thing to do. Yes, I have come to the conclusion that media violence has affected a lot of the community everywhere. Some people want to do things that media does cause it looks cool.
