Media & How they Always Have A Story In A Story

Last night the Philadelphia Phillies won the World Series four to three. B ut for head coach Charlie Manuel, it was much more than just a World Series title. To coach Manuel it was all about his mother, who told him the day before she died that he would win a World Series as the Phillies’ manager. “I thank my mom. I think she’s pulling for me. I think she’s the strength.” 

 

–Charlie Manuel– This is the what manager Charlie Manuel said after he and his Phillies won the World Series over the young and highly talented Tampa Bay Rays. The reason why I am talking about this story is not because the Phillies won, but the fact that the media has turned this Charlie Manuel story into something that comes off un imaginable. It seems to me that when every sports season ends, there is always a story on the winning team that doesn’t relate to the actual title victory. This story for example, his mother on her death bed a few years ago tells him what team, and when he was going to win the World Series, this is something that i can’t grasp at all. I feel that this might be misconstrude in a way. It always seems that there is just a story within a story for every season, football, hockey, baseball, and most of basketball. For the Celtics it was all about Kevin Garrnett and how he plays with so much emotion. For the Redsox it was all about how there was never a curse, in hockey the Ducks won their first Lord Stanley Cup in franchise history, but it was Salene’s first ever Stanley Cup in his long career. All Im saying is i see a pattern every time, in sports when their seasons come to an end. I just ask the question, why is there always a story (Phillies win World Series) in a story (Manuels mom predicts victory)?    [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jUeO5ejP59w&feature=related

Vodka Adds, Crazy, Look

Wow, thats all i have to say about this ad. I mean to just the naked eye, this is just another crazy “Absolut” ad. But ya, your right it is a crazy Absolut ad. I mean really just look at this ad for a second, ok, look even harder. Now do you see it, well if you don’t, here it is, this is in the shape of the female sex organ. Don’t ask me why but, it is. A pear, ok, the shape of the women’s body or at least what some say, but look at what the vodka bottle is, o shocker pear flavor. There is a pear at the top of the ad inside the females sex organ. It is also green, this is also funny because green is a very sexual color, not to mention the whole ad is in this color, and the shape of the add doesnt help. This is implying very sexual things if you ask me. I laugh at this ad, not to mention usually many people who do drink, do a lot of sexual things that they wouldn’t do if they were sober. So this whole ad just screems sex if you think about it, to the shapes, the color, the flavor, and even the product, all is sex. But if you just glance at this ad, you would never think of all these things let alone one, and on top of that, the message is sex. Wow, wow, wow the media is so so sneaky!

Manny Being Manny

Manny being Manny, wow what a shocker, these are some images of Manny on the Redsox. I feel that he plays the game his way, and thats all that matters. He has the most fun playing the game of baseball because he sees ball hits ball, sees ball catch ball. Manny hit a homerun last night in his first playoff game with the Dodgers, wow he just gets it done.
