Today's Presenations

Today i learned alot of new information about different media we have today. The first presentation we saw was about male enhancement pills called Enzyte. I thought it was interesting and funny at the same time. Honestly i never really knew there were pills out there like this and how popular it was with middle aged males. Well i surprised to find out that it didn't work very with the growing part. Funny. The another presentation was about snowboarding with sponsors. This came to me as interesting too because i never really knew how much sponsors can influence the people around them. Also i didn't know that Red Bull was a sponsor of snowboarders. The presentations that caught my eyes the most was the ones about barbie and seventeen magazine. I really never knew that both these media can have an effect on young girls, i mean really young. Like when they talked about how 80% of 10 year old girls tried dieting and really only 20% of the 80% were overweight. I found this very shocking. I mean i honestly thought that girls from the age 16 on up were really the only ones being effected. But all in all the presentations today were very well said and i enjoyed them.
