ad·vert 1 (ād-vûrt') Pronunciation Key
intr.v. ad·vert·ed, ad·vert·ing, ad·verts
1. To turn attention.


I don't know where advertising started, but advertising has essentially become a way of turning your attention from anything of actual importance concerning a product. Advertising is often geared to appeal to your emotions and self image. Look at these creative car commercials. (each is +30- seconds.)



What do any of these automobile commercials have to do with the practical uses of a car? If you find out. Let me know.

These ad's are not meant to inform you. They are meant to entertain you, and influence you to do something like ask your friend "Did you see that one new car commercial where Grace Jones is cheating on her husband then her car turns into a transformer and starts to dance!? You haven't!?? Well you gotta watch it!"

Know your advertisers. They work very hard to know you.

There's an ongoing debate about homeschooling vs. public schooling. 3. I agree with most things about home schooling. Which is why I take the view that my kids are home schooled 5 days a week, from 3pm to 9pm, on the weekends, and all of their vacation time. 4. Home schooling should feel like art, it's enjoyable (largely), so don't worry about overloading the tone of "school" in it. 5. Everyone's situation is different: (a) Some of us have checks coming to us from the government that give us all day to do as we please. (b) Some of us have to work long hours every day to survive. (c) Some of us have a spouse that gives us all day to do with as we please. (d) Some of us are the spouse that gives the other all day to do as they please. etc. 6. Thus, our ideals aren't applicable to everyone. 7. Th...

Music Playlist Debacle
