Monday, October 30, 2006 
Hey there! Hope you had a good weekend. Interesting story: So, I have Google alerts set up for both myself and Seventeen (so I can know when we're in the news). So Friday night, I get my Google alert email, and one of the links was to (yet another) blog that was saying really rude things about me (saying that I looked like the mask from Saw). See below - how flattering, right? Anyway - as I was reading this guy's blog, I thought to myself, this is the kind of person I'd be FRIENDS with in real life. What on earth is inspiring a random guy in UTAH who doesn't know me to be saying such mean things (The truth is, I'm always up for learning - like, maybe I've been doing something inadvertantly that's been sending the wrong signal, who knows??).

So I sent him a really short MySpace message saying "Why so mean?". Well, I got an apology and he took the post down. Basically he said that he never expected that I'd see the blog and that it's easy to be mean online and make jokes at other people's expense. I could tell he felt badly - he's not a bad person, but the web sometimes dehumanizes people.

That got me thinking about the fact that when I was your age there WAS no web and most people didn't have cell phones (Oh stop! I'm not THAT old!). So having said that, do you mind if I ask you a bunch of questions? I'm working on a big speech for later this month and I really value your opinions. So don't hold back (as if you would! ha!). 10 questions - I know it's a lot - BUT I WILL BE SO GRATEFUL!!!!!!!


1- What websites do you like the best? Why?
2- Do you prefer My Space or Facebook? Why?
3- How do you feel when you get advertisements texted to your cell phones?
4- Which ad campaigns are your favorites and why? How about the WORST? Why?
5- When do you notice advertisements the most? When watching TV, online, reading a magazine, etc.?
6- What is your favorite form of entertainment? TV shows, websites, magazines, radio? (don't worry - i won't get offended!)
7- How do you feel about ads before movies? How about ads before videos (like did you see the MTV VMA website??)?
8- Do you do other things while you're doing homework? Like watch TV or IM?
9-What's the best invention that's come into your life lately?
10-I'm speaking to a group of entertainment executives (tv, radio, wireless, all of it) - is there anything you want them to know so they can create better products for you??
Think of me as your mouthpiece! And don't be too tired from all my questions to answer this one - it's important because these people WILL listen to us/you! :)

IF YOU CAN LET ME KNOW THIS WEEK THAT WOULD BE GREAT!

1- Probably MySpace.com and Delias.com. Myspace because it's easy to keep in contact with freinds and Delias because cute clothing! =]
2- Myspace!! Facebook seems.... idk, like it's trying too hard.
3- I don't, so I have no feelings, lol.
4- Like, adverts on TV? Hm... I really like the one for the car with the fluffy animals and their asking them what they think of the car and stuff. Haha. that one makes me laugh. The ones I hate are any of the ones that show a fat husband, skinny wife. Annoying! It makes me think that thats what they think everyfamily is.
5- I notice them if they have some humor to them. I LOVE comedy. And when they are COMPLETELY different from whats usual.
6- TV shows... My favorite ones right now are: Desperate Housewives, Will & Grace and 21 Jump Street. =]
7- They're okay if their for other movies, other ones kind of annoy me...
8- Yes. I watch TV and listen to music. Not at the same time, though.
9- Hm... Text messaging! Haha, I just learned how to do it.
10- Well... For ads and such, I thinkt hey should steer away from using super skinny girls or if they do a family setting having the husband being a dolt and the wife being a brain... Because, families aren't like that, normally.

LOL at lest you can joked about the picture.... that's funny :))

1. www.imdb.com I like this site because it talks about the latest movies and shows.
2. Myspace, I never been on face book, I herd he sold it for 1 billion!
3. I don't have a Cell Phone... HAHA
4. I never really thought about it, and I'm not about to...
5. Online the most. I have notice the advertisements on TV are for age rage, like on Disney or Nick, there are all about toys.

6. I would say Computer, all the funny things on YouTube.
7. I just hit the fast forward button. in magazines I read them sometimes there interesting.
8. Yeah I use to watch TV all the time while doing homework.
9. The computer, I love it I love it and playing computer games also :))
10. They need to make a remote like on click!
You know what I would like to see on TV again, they use to have this on MTV it was called Love Line. They have one called Talk Sex with Sue, but its only on Sundays. They need something like this again on TV to let all the young women know all about the yucky things out there and how to practice safe sex. We all know to practice safe sex but how many of us really care and especially the teens there young and naive and don't think about things. Maybe another TV show would make them think twice. Before they regret it.

1- What websites do you like the best? Why? I love any kind of websites that give me information on my interests. If it helps me know more information, I know be so ignorant on the topic.

2- Do you prefer My Space or Facebook? Why? Myspace. One thing that sets Facebook apart, is the amount of friends you can have on Myspace versus someone who rates you as a whole on Facebook. I would rather have Myspace for people interested in my personality, not by my looks.

3- How do you feel when you get advertisements texted to your cell phones? I don't get that, but thinking about the whole ordeal is benefitial. If you use your cell phones alot, then you can get contacted via phone with information you only would want.

4- Which ad campaigns are your favorites and why? How about the WORST? Why? I love the beauty and fashion campaigns. They intrigue me on what they come up with these days. I can't really think about the bad ones.

5- When do you notice advertisements the most? When watching TV, online, reading a magazine, etc.? I notice them the most via the internet, reading a magazine, and on the television.

6- What is your favorite form of entertainment? TV shows, websites, magazines, radio? (don't worry - i won't get offended!) I love the magazines and television shows / movies.

7- How do you feel about ads before movies? How about ads before videos (like did you see the MTV VMA website??)? I do see a point in ads, like with the whole promoting factor for the business, but they need to learn when to apply it and how many times to apply the ad. Sometimes, too much of one commercial, such as Geico, can get on people's nerves.

8- Do you do other things while you're doing homework? Like watch TV or IM? I either listen to the television (tv show or a movie), talk to my boyfriend on the phone or computer, or listen to songs on my computer.

9-What's the best invention that's come into your life lately? The computer, it helps me throughout my daily life through homework, interaction with my friends, keeping in touch with the latest fashions, and many other benefitial things.

10-I'm speaking to a group of entertainment executives (tv, radio, wireless, all of it) - is there anything you want them to know so they can create better products for you?? Can't really think of one.

1- What websites do you like the best? Why?
cnn.com- best way to keep up with what is going on.
http://amigosdemujeres.org - a cause near the heart.
myspace.com - because EVERYONE has a myspace, and help you keep in touch
Facebook.com - because its like a more private form of myspace

2- Do you prefer My Space or Facebook? Why?

myspace, facebook is great dont get me wrong, but with all the things that you can do on myspace it definetly comes in at number one

3- How do you feel when you get advertisements texted to your cell phones?
If i reuested them, for example the ones from seventeen, then I dont mind and look forward to reading them, but if its a random one, well they can be annoying.

4- Which ad campaigns are your favorites and why? How about the WORST? Why?

The Gap and Old Navy Ads, the have realistic people on them so its nice to watch them. Those and the ones for Tide, simply because I love Kelly Ripa. The worst, well I am not to sure on those.

5- When do you notice advertisements the most? When watching TV, online, reading a magazine, etc.?

Haha... when watching TV since they interrupt the show that I am watching

6- What is your favorite form of entertainment? TV shows, websites, magazines, radio? (don't worry - i won't get offended!)

Probably Television

7- How do you feel about ads before movies? How about ads before videos (like did you see the MTV VMA website??)?

I dont mind the ads before movies since usually they are previews of other movies that I might be interested in watching

8- Do you do other things while you're doing homework? Like watch TV or IM?

a bit of both actually

9-What's the best invention that's come into your life lately?

Spark Notes ... I love them

10-I'm speaking to a group of entertainment executives (tv, radio, wireless, all of it) - is there anything you want them to know so they can create better products for you??

Hi Atoosa !

1- I like many magazine websites, Youtube and UthTV a lot .
2- I like MySpace and Facebook equally. Facebook really keeps you connected with your classmates and what is going on on your campus. MySpace caters to EVERYONE not just College students.
3- It is really annoying when I get advertisments, unless it is something I am interested in and SPECIFICALLY signed up for. I do not like tricks..lol
4- My favorite ad campaign is for the new RED campaign that is going on now !
5- I notice advertisements the most in magazines, I do not like commercials so I usually do not watch !
6- Magazines are definitely my fav. Next would be TV, but only when it is not smut !
7- It is always exciting to see ads before videos and movies. It is kind of a teaser..
8- I have a really bad problem doing other things while doing homework. I sing, draw, write random thoughts, pose in front of the mirror..and other embarassing things !
9- I just started using the podcast feature on my iPod, that is pretty nice.
10- FASHION: One thing my friends and I discuss a lot is that FALL fashion in magazines are so amazing, but, we live in TEXAS !!!! It is way too hot to wear any of those things. So, maybe you all could do a fall fashion spread for the SOUTHERN DWELLERS...lol.. ENTERTAINMENT: I enjoy magazines the most when the writer/interviewer finds out who a celebrity is as a person...most embarassing thing they do in front of the mirror, favortie song to sing in the car/shower (do you see where I am going ???) Things that people normally do not discuss; but when someone shares that deep darkness, you think to yourself...OMG I TOTALLY DO THAT ! lol.. I guess I am bored stiff with he say, she say gossip that seems to overflow from magazines these days!!! I am starving for some substance !!! or at least something that will make you smile !
P.S. As for the guy that made the horrible comment... all that time and energy REALLY could have been used elsewhere! Unfortunately there are sooo many people like him... Just learn how to bounce back and stomp harder towards the things that you desire !
Sincerely,
Faren

1- What websites do you like the best? Why? Google, facebook, and myspace.. I like google because it has pretty much EVERYTHING you will ever need and facebook and myspace so I can keep in contact with my friends.

2- Do you prefer My Space or Facebook? Why? I use to like Myspace better, but the longer I stay on facebook, I tend to like it better because I don't get friend requests or messages from people I don't know.. It's strictly my friends.

3- How do you feel when you get advertisements texted to your cell phones? I hate it. I'm sick of seeing advertisements everywhere.

4- Which ad campaigns are your favorites and why? How about the WORST? Why? Favorite ad? It has to be the identity theft ones, those are just hillarious! I die laughing everytime I watch one.. My least favorite are the political campaign ads.. I'm sick of them!

5- When do you notice advertisements the most? When watching TV, online, reading a magazine, etc.? Watching tv...

6- What is your favorite form of entertainment? TV shows, websites, magazines, radio? (don't worry - i won't get offended!) My favorite form of entertainment is TV and magazines

7- How do you feel about ads before movies? How about ads before videos (like did you see the MTV VMA website??)? I hate ads before movies... I love watching trailiers though..

8- Do you do other things while you're doing homework? Like watch TV or IM? Yes, but it tends to me taking longer on homework, but for some reason I can't help it.

9-What's the best invention that's come into your life lately? Wow, toughie.. I'm going to have to say the automatic car starter-- I live in Michigan, it's gonna be a rough winter.

10-I'm speaking to a group of entertainment executives (tv, radio, wireless, all of it) - is there anything you want them to know so they can create better products for you?? Stop thinking you know what it's like to be a teenager, because you really don't.. We're all different, word of mouth spreads better than anything else :)

1 - I'm usually on myspace and live journal the most. I'm not sure why, it's just fun. I go to
sites like Seventeen and Teen Vogue to check out the latest stuff. That's about it.
2 - I prefer myspace. I think it's because more of my friends have myspace rather than
facebook. So I'm in contact with more of my friends [a lot of which live more than an
hours drive away].
3 - I hate it! It just costs me more money. I have a limited amount of texts before I get
charged, and I always go over my amount! So those are just wasting my free texts!
4 - I love advertisements for clothes and shoes! I LOVE to shop! I like to look at all the
latest
fashions! I also like make-up ads! I LOVE make-up! Especiallt MAC make-up! The worst
would have to be car advertisements! There are so many of them on T.V. and stuff!
5 - I notice the ads when I'm reading magazines and when I'm watching T.V. but I usually
ignore the ads on T.V. So mostly magazine ads.
6 - I live for my three main magazines - Seventeen, Teen Vogue and Surfing! (I know! I
love surfing, yet I live in Ohio!) I spen a lot of time online, with friends, watching T.V.,
dancing, twirling and practicing for band!
7 - I like the ads before movies when I'm at the movie theatre! I like seeing whats coming
out! But when I'm at home I usually fast forward through them.
8 - I usually watch T.V. If I have a report to type or research to do then I'll be IMing and
checking my mail and myspace.
9 - My most used (and best) invention is my cell phone...but it hasn't come to my
life "lately." I've had it for 4 years now!
10 - I think with clothing ads, the companies use girls that are way to skinny! There are like
no girls like that for real! And I think radios play way too many ads! Most radio stations
play more ads than music!

♥ *brittni*

P.S. I definitley don't think you look like the mask from Saw! That thing creeps me out! lol! = )

1- What websites do you like the best? Why? myspace because it connects me to friends and people im unable to contact less than two or three times a year. and stumble upon which is a toolbar that allows you to find intresting things you didnt know existed
2- Do you prefer My Space or Facebook? Why? myspace. i dont like facebooks layouts and the fact you cant change anything when you place a profile.
3- How do you feel when you get advertisements texted to your cell phones? im not allowed to text so it dosent matter.
4- Which ad campaigns are your favorites and why? How about the WORST? Why? the dirty politics right now are getting on my nerves and ones that are really repetative. my favorites are ones that use real guys/girls and are all 'dolled up so to say'
5- When do you notice advertisements the most? When watching TV, online, reading a magazine, etc.? things that are unsual or even a bit off the wall.
6- What is your favorite form of entertainment? TV shows, websites, magazines, radio? (don't worry - i won't get offended!) radio. you dont have to see it you can guess, you can make it up in your mind. and you cant find good CLEAN ... let me empahsise it CLEAN tv shows anymore. and magazines. i dont care that much for magazines outside of seventeen they are much to much fake. sometimes seventeen even gets close to that annoying part of fakeness.
7- How do you feel about ads before movies? How about ads before videos (like did you see the MTV VMA website??)? they suck on videos online. but the movie trailer previews, their okay if you dont see them on every freaking movie thats coming out
8- Do you do other things while you're doing homework? Like watch TV or IM? yes im always doing something.
9-What's the best invention that's come into your life lately? oh wow. to many. my favorite is my camera. that allows me to do video and pictures at the same time.
10-I'm speaking to a group of entertainment executives (tv, radio, wireless, all of it) - is there anything you want them to know so they can create better products for you?? stuff that doesnt get any smaller. i lose small things easy.

1) When im on the internet the only websites im ever on are myspace and facebook. I dont stay on the computer long so when im on its only to check my account and then im gone again. So i dont really go anywhere else online.
2) Overall id say myspace because thats what most of my friends have so I get more comments and things from it. But facebook is good because it seems safer and not everyone can see your page so I definitely like facebook too.
3) I've never gotten an advertisement on my cell phone besides Cingular alerts and stuff like that. So i dont really care.
4) I never really pay attention to the ads on tv and things. But i really like the antidrug campaigns and those identity theft ads. Haha those are funny. Basicallythat will grab my attention .
5) I dont really notice them much but when I do its usually at the movies or on tv. If ads are on the radio i change the station and in magazines all i have to do is flip the page so nothing really pops out at me.
6) Just about any of that will entertain me, probably my favorite form though is the internet, when Im home thats usually what im doing. But i also love flipping through magazines for fashion advice and new things to buy (l0l) and the radio, i LOVE listening to music.
7) Ads before movies i dont really mind because usually theyre about other movies that are coming out. But ads before videos really annoy me cuz when i want to see a video i want to see that video not a bunch of advertisements.
8) Actually I do both while Im doing homework. I know Im bad (l0l).
9)My cellphone is the best invention ever. I didnt get a cell phone until the summer before my freshman year and now the cell phone is the only phone I ever use. You could never find me without my cell phone.
10) I think these days product quality is great, its just advertising and pricing that bothers me. They need better ways to get advertise without having an hour of ads on the radio with a bout 10 minutes of actual music playing. And not everyone wants to spend a million dollars buying things people NEED these days (ex. computers)

Think of me as your mouthpiece! And don't be too tired from all my questions to answer this one - it's important because these people WILL listen to us/you! :)

* * * Myspace, mmdurh? It's fun. It's addicting.
* * * This sounds super lame, but JoeCartoon.com has some of the funniest cartoon shorts i've ever seen. You should check it out.

2- Do you prefer My Space or Facebook? Why?
* * * I've never even tried Facebook! Some of my friends are getting into it though, so I might look at it.

3- How do you feel when you get advertisements texted to your cell phones?
* * * I'm usually wondering how they got my number.

4- Which ad campaigns are your favorites and why? How about the WORST? Why?
* * * Youth Aldo Aids Campaign, NO DOUBT is my favorite. Maybe using celebrities in it will catch people's attention and get them to realize how this virus is effecting our world. I don't even watch TV that much anymore, so i'm not too intune with the sucky commercials on right now.

5- When do you notice advertisements the most? When watching TV, online, reading a magazine, etc.?
* * * Magazines. They're visual, and you can always come back and look at them again. The internet ads are ust obnoxious :x

6- What is your favorite form of entertainment? TV shows, websites, magazines, radio? (don't worry - i won't get offended!)
* * * From the four, radio and magazines. I love my local radio stations, but they have SO.MANY.COMMERCIALS! It's ridiculous. Magazines are fabulous, too, but i'm starting to figure out that most of them are becoming really repetitive with cover girls, articles, feautures, etc.

7- How do you feel about ads before movies? How about ads before videos (like did you see the MTV VMA website??)?
* * * I love the previews before movies! They get my psyched up before the actual movie starts :] I think the ads before videos online are just annoying, though. haha

8- Do you do other things while you're doing homework? Like watch TV or IM?
* * * I have ADHD (yeep!) so if I listen to music or watch TV, i'll be totally sidetracked from my homework. I have to keep it quiet. Haha, lame, I know.

9-What's the best invention that's come into your life lately?
* * * UHHHM, IPOD VIDEO!? <3333333333

10-I'm speaking to a group of entertainment executives (tv, radio, wireless, all of it) - is there anything you want them to know so they can create better products for you??
* * * TV-wise? How about they start making shows realistic in the high-school life? The show DEGRASSI was great for awhile, but some of the more recent episodes are COMPLETELY far-fetched and unrealistic.


Yay! That was more fun than a survey!
Pfft, you totally don't resemble the Saw doll in anyway.

keep being amazing? plz.
Sara

'Toosa, you're beautiful, k thnx.

1- xanga, because it's what got me started. pinkisthenewblog.com because trent=amazing.
2- eh, I suppose Myspace, because I've been using it longer and there's bands/music on here.
3- Don't have a phone.
4- Candies -- I think it's good to educate about teen pregnancy. I don't really have a least favorite.
5- it depends -- how flashy is the ad? how much will it keep my attention?
6- websites AND magazines. because I don't like to watch TV much, but.... oh well. I do. But websites & mags = love.
7- they're annoying.
8- Definetly IM and listen to music and sometimes watch music videos. I can't concentrate unless I have a million other things going on.
9- Hm. MSN IM. :P
10- Why are there so many ads showing boys and girls in love and blah blah blah? I'm willing to be that there's a lot more single kids than kids "in love" and stuff. It's kind of annoying when every ad on TV you see (one that comes to mind right now is the "walk the line" commercial for God knows what) has something to do with love.
But that's just me.


Thanks, Atoosa!

1- What websites do you like the best? Why?

Urban Outfitters, AE..[amazing clothes]
Mugglenet.Interactive.net
Myspace
Facebook

They're all entertaining, I love those stores above and Harry Potter is an amazing series.

2- Do you prefer My Space or Facebook? Why?

Myspace is more accessible and you can see everyone's profiles unless they are private. With facebook you're only able to view the people that go to your school.

3- How do you feel when you get advertisements texted to your cell phones?

I haven't.

4- Which ad campaigns are your favorites and why? How about the WORST? Why?

Dove, Target, and Old Navy-creative ideas.
Worst: That gross toenail fungal one that shows this little bug lift up a person's toenail-it disgusts me.

5- When do you notice advertisements the most? When watching TV, online, reading a magazine, etc.?

While watching TV.

6- What is your favorite form of entertainment? TV shows, websites, magazines, radio? (don't worry - i won't get offended!)

Radio and websites, but I do love 17.

7- How do you feel about ads before movies? How about ads before videos (like did you see the MTV VMA website??)?

The ones before music videos are annoying but I actually like seeing previews at the movie theater.

8- Do you do other things while you're doing homework? Like watch TV or IM?

Rarely I will watch tv/IM. If I'm on the computer I might use AIM to keep things interesting or when I have a writing block while doing an essay. I only half-listen to any TV while doing homework-if any tv at all.

9-What's the best invention that's come into your life lately?

Cell phone-it keeps me connected with friends and family when I'm either 1) at work 2) heater practice or 3) out and about.

10-I'm speaking to a group of entertainment executives (tv, radio, wireless, all of it) - is there anything you want them to know so they can create better products for you??
Think of me as your mouthpiece! And don't be too tired from all my questions to answer this one - it's important because these people WILL listen to us/you! :)

We need LESS ads on TV and more watching time! It seems like every five mins there's a commercial break. As for TV and magazines, I wish that real beauty were shown as important more often. Society seems to think that stick-thin girls are everything.


PS: 17 mag has already noticed that, but many ads in it aren't different from the norm. I also think it's bad that Walmart is always advertised in 17. This store may have low prices, but they have hurt many of their workers by subtracting hours that they worked from their time cards. That's horrible. I work minimum wage as a teen and every dollar counts for something. While companies only pay their workers enough to stay there, this is immoral.

1- What websites do you like the best? Why? Myspace and Facebook because they help me stay in touch with friends that I dont normally see
2- Do you prefer My Space or Facebook? Why? I like myspace more than facebook because you can customize your myspace more than your facebook. I think a myspace lets people see a little more of who you really are
3- How do you feel when you get advertisements texted to your cell phones? Irratated. I dont want to know that I can buy american idol ringtones in the middle of class.
4- Which ad campaigns are your favorites and why? How about the WORST? Why? I love the starbucks campaigns. They are my all time favorite advertisments. The worst are the new always commercials about the wipes being attached to the pad. That is just one thing I do not need to know.
5- When do you notice advertisements the most? When watching TV, online, reading a magazine, etc.? I notice them more on tv and in a magazine then anywhere else.
6- What is your favorite form of entertainment? TV shows, websites, magazines, radio? (don't worry - i won't get offended!) I love to watch tv but I also like magazines. I would have to say that tv definetly wins in this situation though.
7- How do you feel about ads before movies? How about ads before videos (like did you see the MTV VMA website??)? Ads before movies are ok so long as you dont have to sit there for half an hour and wait for the actual movie to start. I hate ads before videos though. They just drive me crazy.
8- Do you do other things while you're doing homework? Like watch TV or IM? I listen to music and im.
9-What's the best invention that's come into your life lately? I dont know my laptop I guess
10-I'm speaking to a group of entertainment executives (tv, radio, wireless, all of it) - is there anything you want them to know so they can create better products for you?? Teens need cameras. We love to take pictures of our friends and family. All of the camera ads are directed to familys or adults. We need a line of cameras just for teens in cool colors and features that make sense to us.

1- I like Myspace and Facebook because they allow me to keep in touch with people. I also LOVE google because I can find everything there, and of course online banking, because everyone needs it.

2- Personally I like each for different reasons. I like Myspace because it allows for more individualism, you can espress yourself more. I like Facebook because it's an easy way to get in touch with classmates if you need information for a class or soemthing of that sort. It basically covers the basics

3- I HATE getting advertisements on my phone. It's such a waste.

4- I ADORE Target ads, I think they are so innovative. I also like Gap/Old Navy ads because they always grab my attention. My least favorite ads would have to be match.com type ads. There is nothing worse than being up late doing a paper or soemthing and in the backround hearing how "you can meet singles in your area tonight" Pointless...

5- I notice advertisements most on TV because there are more auditory components. I like to hear the music and see people dancing on the screen (hence my love for Gap ads) television just provides a more complete picture.

6- What is your favorite form of entertainment? hmmm. I do enjoy the internet because it's something you can do for 5 minutes or an hour. Sometimes with television I feel like a have a 30 minute commitment. Still though I adore magazines because I feel like I'm gaining more from readin a magazine than sitting in front of the television.

7- I can deal with ads before movies but I don't like them. I really don't like ads before video clips online. I don't know why. They just rub me the wrong way.

8- I usually do other things while doing simple homework, however if I really need to crack the books and study I try to remove myself from electronics because I'll never get anything done.

9- The best invention in my life right now would have to be my laptop [including the internet, iTunes, wireless wtc.] and well, the calander, I would cease to exist without my planner.

10-I think that entertainment executive need to realize that although occasionally "sex sells" real people enjoy seeing real people in ads and on TV. The most important thing is for them to be fun and show that they love their product. Make products they believe in. Don't assume things about groups of people either. EVERYONE is different so make things unique.

1- What websites do you like the best? Why? myspace. because its awsome to just keep in touch with a bunch of friends, and people that have moved.

3- How do you feel when you get advertisements texted to your cell phones? i've never had that happen but if it did i wouldn't be happy.
4- Which ad campaigns are your favorites and why? How about the WORST? Why? i really like the dove advertisment with the girl being photoshopped for a billboard. it showed how hollywood actually is. the worst.... hmm cant think of any specific ones
5- When do you notice advertisements the most? When watching TV, online, reading a magazine, etc.? magazines because they ususally really catch your eye with colors and stuff.
6- What is your favorite form of entertainment? TV shows, websites, magazines, radio? (don't worry - i won't get offended!) tv shows
7- How do you feel about ads before movies? How about ads before videos (like did you see the MTV VMA website??)? i don't mind them. and no i didnt see that site
8- Do you do other things while you're doing homework? Like watch TV or IM? heck yes. aim & myspace with ituneso n
9-What's the best invention that's come into your life lately? ummm my ipod speakers.
10-I'm speaking to a group of entertainment executives (tv, radio, wireless, all of it) - is there anything you want them to know so they can create better products for you?? create things that require less programming. & clearer instructions

1- myspace.com because i can talk to my friends and listen to music and change my profile around when i'm bored and i have nothing else to do.
2- myspace because the profiles are cooler and there is music. but i also like facebook because you can have way more pictures.

5- When do you notice advertisements the most? When watching TV, online, reading a magazine, etc.?

Jesus! You’re so much cuter than that mask! :) You do have some killer cheekbones, though. I wish I had em! That’s one thing that mask has going for him…! ;)

I’m so glad you said something to that guy – we really do get insensitive to HUMANS when we’re behind the “mask” (pun intended!) of a computer screen.

1 - What websites do you like the best? Why?

I love MySpace and Facebook and IMDB (I was a film studies major and now I work for an independent movie theater!) and Yahoo and YouTube.

2- Do you prefer My Space or Facebook? Why?

BOTH! I like MySpace better because I can customize how my page looks…but I like Facebook better because of their new “news feed” feature, which tells me what my Facebook friends are up to each day.

3- How do you feel when you get advertisements texted to your cell phones?

Angry! Another place I can’t escape them!

4- Which ad campaigns are your favorites and why? How about the WORST? Why?

I like the real beauty of Dove, because it’s humanizing and validating women as something other than sex objects…I hate the “Digital Max” from Cox (maybe that’s a local thing?) because he’s annoying.

5- When do you notice advertisements the most? When watching TV, online, reading a magazine, etc.?

Beautiful and pricey TV ads easily catch my attention…that is, when I haven’t TiVoed through them. I completely ignore ads online, and magazine ads are easy to ignore, unless I really need a certain product and I’m actually looking for it.

6- What is your favorite form of entertainment? TV shows, websites, magazines, radio? (don't worry - i won't get offended!)

I love TV and movies…I’m addicted to magazines (seriously. Addicted.) I don’t listen to the radio anymore (I’m 23 and my fave music is from my past!) And I only go to my fave websites…I don’t get around to the others much.

7- How do you feel about ads before movies? How about ads before videos (like did you see the MTV VMA website??)?

I’m sick of ads invading EVERYTHING. I liked the time way back, when the only ads before movies were for upcoming movies!

8- Do you do other things while you're doing homework? Like watch TV or IM?

I don’t do homework anymore (college grad, yes!) but I definitely get distracted by MySpace and Facebook and YouTube and Yahoo IM and other web junk when I’m at work.

9-What's the best invention that's come into your life lately?

Cell phones, of course. MySpace and Facebook (now that I’ve moved away from my college buddies, this is how we keep in touch!)

10-I'm speaking to a group of entertainment executives (tv, radio, wireless, all of it) - is there anything you want them to know so they can create better products for you?? Think of me as your mouthpiece! And don't be too tired from all my questions to answer this one - it's important because these people WILL listen to us/you! :)

Gosh, that’s a tall order. But here goes:

I wish cheaper clothes were advertised in magazines. I can’t afford a $300 pair of shoes!

I wish radio ads were kept to a minimum and more music was actually played. I also wish there were more “classic alternative” stations playing 90s music.

I wish MTV would get off their high horse of showing shows and get back to the music videos – the real reason they came into existence.

I also think, and this is a very nebulous suggestion…that entertainment’s “target demographic” of 16-34 (or whatever) is too broad. As a “new adult” at 23, I feel like a “pre-adult,” much like how I felt as a “pre-teen.” I feel very alone and confused and forgotten. Am I a kid? Am I an adult? What am I??? I don’t feel like I’m being targeted or catered to at all, and I think entertainment execs could really cash in with me and my friends if they would try… I guess that’s just something they can think about. :)

Thanks Atoosa! As always!

1- What websites do you like the best? Why? -- i love perezhilton.com, it's my guilty pleasure celeb gossip site. =)

2- Do you prefer My Space or Facebook? Why? --myspace is better for selfexpression, but facebook connects people better

3- How do you feel when you get advertisements texted to your cell phones? aggravated

4- Which ad campaigns are your favorites and why? How about the WORST? Why? i love the offbeat, seemingly-nonsensical commercials, exceeepppt for the Burger King commercials with the guy in the weird costume. YEAH.

5- When do you notice advertisements the most? When watching TV, online, reading a magazine, etc.? i never notice online ads, purely because i've trained my eyes not look at popups or banners; tv the most

6- What is your favorite form of entertainment? TV shows, websites, magazines, radio? (don't worry - i won't get offended!) i'm taking a mass media class where we study these =) and my favorite so far is music & radio, because its absolutely impactful and a part of everyone's life

7- How do you feel about ads before movies? How about ads before videos (like did you see the MTV VMA website??)? i think ads before videos online are huge hassles--i kinda like the commercials before the movies though..it's kinda cute.

8- Do you do other things while you're doing homework? Like watch TV or IM? i do EVERYTHING while doing homework; tv, IM, phone, eat, etc.

9-What's the best invention that's come into your life lately? leggings. thermal leggings. this is my first winter in 10 years up north, so i'm not used to the cold yet

10-I'm speaking to a group of entertainment executives (tv, radio, wireless, all of it) - is there anything you want them to know so they can create better products for you?? don't make target audiences so obvious in advertising strategies--we don't like being belittled as a gender or an age range because it's sometimes stereotypical.

Hey...
1.Myspace because I can keep in touch with friends, and Google is my life saver! I can't tell you how many reports and projects Google helped me with!
2.I don't have a facebook yet, but I think I will like it just as much as myspace because I can keep in touch with an organization I'm in at school.
3.I hate that, its never an ad for something I would use.
4.I like the sonic commercials with the two guys....basically anything funny. I hate the Gieco ones with the cavemen.
5.On TV and in magazines, but magazines more because I am usually interested in what thier advertising.
6.Magazines and TV, they are easy to look at/watch.
7.I like ads before movies 'cause they are usually ads for new movies that might be interesting.
8.The only thing I do when I'm doing homework is listen to music, but it has to be math or something where I'm not trying to read and remember information.
9.Hmm....I love my iPod and my laptop. I am passionate about music and my laptop is my own personal computer so I can do pretty much whatever I want to with it.
10.Can't really think of anything...alot of what they're doing seems to be working...I dunno

I'm not sure that was any help at all but there you go. Good luck on the speech!!!

mhh people are so intriging, they can be your greatest joy or deepest problem. yet luckily we're so fickle that our opinions can be changed! anyways, onto the questions!:]


1- What websites do you like the best? Why?
-Myspace...basically to keep in touch, the fun [of course!] and to find new bands. and also xanga, because although the communitys kind of washed out- i still love bloggin on their. the peoples depth can't be beaten [especially since theres fun blogrings} :o)

2- Do you prefer My Space or Facebook? Why?
-well, myspace. but my opinion is biased since i never had a facebook. so i suppose you'd say n/a

3- How do you feel when you get advertisements texted to your cell phones?
-i don't have a cell. i couldn't say. but i think i'd get annoyed, since i'd probably have to pay for it. and it would have been a let down to see that just a computer txted me hahaX)

4- Which ad campaigns are your favorites and why? How about the WORST? Why?
-i love the real beauty ones....for the message of course! i like cokes commercials....because they're so unique and just make you want to watch it again.
the worst would have to be the ones which the tacky jingles, and loud obnoxious voices. also the ones that are generally unfriendly

5- When do you notice advertisements the most? When watching TV, online, reading a magazine, etc.?
-magazines. and tv if it catches my attention

6- What is your favorite form of entertainment? TV shows, websites, magazines, radio? (don't worry - i won't get offended!)
-magazines, sites and radio

7- How do you feel about ads before movies? How about ads before videos (like did you see the MTV VMA website??)?
i don't mind the ads before movies.

8- Do you do other things while you're doing homework? Like watch TV or IM?
i'm on myspaceX)
or am listening to the radio

9-What's the best invention that's come into your life lately?
mhh my pleather jacket haha
i live generally low tech.
and i don't get paid enough to have a valid answerX)

10-I'm speaking to a group of entertainment executives (tv, radio, wireless, all of it) - is there anything you want them to know so they can create better products for you??
be straightforward.

1- What websites do you like the best? Why?
A. Myspace.com and because I can keep in contact with just about everyone I know...Its a real simple way to stay in touch.

2- Do you prefer My Space or Facebook? Why?
A. Myspace because you can really make it your own and add just about everyone...and Facebook is alright i just live in a really small town so no one has it.

3- How do you feel when you get advertisements texted to your cell phones?
A. I think its a pain in the butt, I only have a certain amount of texts a month and that just wastes them.

4- Which ad campaigns are your favorites and why? How about the WORST? Why?
A. The M&Ms ad, where they're in the Boat and they sing "Rock the Boat" its cracks me up and i always think about it, The New Tobacco Ad on MTV where they're in the middle of the street singing about how it doesnt always kill. and then finally The Dove Ads because they show that you dont have to look a certain way to feel beautiful.

5- When do you notice advertisements the most? When watching TV, online, reading a magazine, etc.?
A. probably when i'm reading a magazine, i love looking at them. but also the next runner up would probably be the T.V. or movies.

6- What is your favorite form of entertainment? TV shows, websites, magazines, radio? (don't worry - i won't get offended!)
A. My Favorite Form of entertainment would probably be magazines because I LOVE them. they're the best. and they talk about all sorts of things.

7- How do you feel about ads before movies? How about ads before videos (like did you see the MTV VMA website??)?
A. I dont always mind the ads before movies espically if i'm at the theater...but if i'm at home and i want to watch a movie and i dont have the remote to fast forward through them then i really hate them because all you want to do really is watch the movie not the ads..and ads have really just become the "norm" when you go out to see a movie.

8- Do you do other things while you're doing homework? Like watch TV or IM?
A. Yes i do. its a habbit, it keeps me a little more focused, but i usually would have a movie. music, or t.v. on. because sometimes i get too distracted when i'm IMing people.

9-What's the best invention that's come into your life lately?
hmm thats a tough questions. but probably my Cell Phone i'm always on it and its a really easy way to get ahold of me if someone needs to.

10-I'm speaking to a group of entertainment executives (tv, radio, wireless, all of it) - is there anything you want them to know so they can create better products for you??
A. Make Texts Cheaper! and for ads come up with more things that have good tunes to them...it makes the consumer remember that ad more then the others because they really stick out. and stop making ads that are soo dumb, boring, and plain. they dont catch our attention. and also make them so Everyone can semi-relate to what you're selling, espically during the ads, dont always have "skinny" girls in them. make it more believable. oh and dont make them look so fake. espically "before and afters".

Hey there!
1. Myspace and Livejournal. It's where the friends are.
2. Myspace. I don't have a facebook - my friends do, but I just haven't been interested.
3. Annoyed.
4. I don't know.
5. I notice most ads through magazines. I don't watch TV much or pay much attention on the internet. They're so annoying, I've learned to just tune them out! I like magazine ads because usually they have very nice photography, or they give in-depth information about the product, or they're just attractive overall.
6. I love movies, and certain TV shows that I watch on DVD.
7. I don't mind ads before movies at the theatre, but I always skip over them on DVDs at home.
8. Haha, I'm supposed to be doing homework right now! I am on myspace. Sometimes I listen to music.
9. Laptops! They're SO nice for college.
10. It's nice to know that the company cares about their customers and really tries to make a product exactly for their needs and not just slack off a LITTLE just because it saves a little money. If the product is good enough, people will buy it. I will choose one brand over another just because it seems like those that make the product really want me to be happy with it - not just to buy it with fancy advertising.

1. Seventeen of course! I like the setup, it's not crazy and confusing.
UrbanOutfitters.com - Awesome clothes that i can't find in stores at the mall
Glamour.com - great advice for fitness stuff
Myspace.com - friends
shopkitson.com - All kinds of stuff that i can't find in stores period
Fredflare.com - inexpensive
2. Myspace, i don't have a facebook because that's just too much online stuff for me.
3. That's never happened, but i'd predict that i would be agitated.
4. Best: okay, so this isn't typical, but i love FedEx's commercials. They're hilarious. I love The Above the influence Ad campaigns: i think they're clever and creative.
Worst: I hate car campaigns: i think most of them are boring and prove no point.
5. I notice ad's the most in magazines.
6. I really actually don't like television that much. I prefer reading and reading would involve magazines and books.
7. I'd prefer no ads.
8. I read magazines, draw, watch televsion, listen to music, and talk on the phone.
9. Personal professional photo printers for digital cameras.

10. It would nice if we had the average person in ad instead all these famous people, actually off of the, it would be fabulous to have people who do wonderful things for other people like those campaigns with those girls who are doing something to "change the world." To me not very many celebrity's do much to help, besides money stuff. I mean, some do, but that doesn't speak to me. I can't really relate to many of them anyways. Or maybe some celebrity's who are self-made or whatever. Yeah, that would be nice.

1- Bookdivas.com. I like websites where I can get good book recommendations. I also read my favorite authors' blogs: sarah dessen, meg cabot, etc. They're entertaining and I like to read what's going on with them.

2- I prefer My Space because everyone I know has it. I don't think I've ever gone on facebook.

3- I haven't had any ads texted to me, but if I did I would be annoyed up the wazoo.

4- I LOVE the ad for Princess by Vera Wang! It's so fairy-tale-ish and I love Camilla Belle. I hate any with Kate Moss. I don't think she's a good role model at all.

5- I notice ads the most in magazines because I always take the time to read them. I love magazines!

6- My fave form is tv shows.

7- I like the trailers before movies, but the ads are weird to see @ the movies. I don't really care for them. Ads before videos just annoy me because that's not what I want to see.

8- I watch tv while doing homework. I do it during the commercials.

9- My iBlaster orb. It plays my ipod and charges it at the same time. It's great!

10-Don't underestimate the buying power of young girls. Not a lot of tv shows and movies are made for us, but we're part of the audience. I don't mean that I want a show about teen cheerleaders gossiping and back-stabbing each other (oh puh-lease), but I'd like the executives to try to create things for young adults, but with some thought and meaning behind it.

1- I’d have to say MySpace.com & xanga.com. I get to stay in touch with friends on myspace who may not have an instant messenger. I get to share pics with friends who I may not have seen for a long time, or even relatives. And then with xanga I can just kinda vent. If there is something I want out there for people to hear, but don’t necessarily want on myspace with my family there, I can get it out.
2- MySpace. Mostly because I’ve never been to Facebook lol
3- I get rather annoyed because I get charged for that text when it could be for something like with my family.
4- I love the campaigns for Dove. They don’t just show us skinny people but everyone of different sizes, shapes, & skin color. But I really hate the ads for when it comes to designer clothing. The skinny they have is unattainable.
5- What I notice is how they reach out & pertain to my everyday life. If they can grab my attention, it’s usually because it’s a wide variety of people & seems down to Earth. Like, an everyday ordinary girl can relate to it.
6- I love the radio. Very few t.v. shows now a days are interesting. Only a few that are more then just reality shows can grab my attention. With the radio, I can sing & dance out to beats that make me happy, or cool me down.
7- I feel ads before movies often show the most exciting parts. A lot of movies ho-hum movies shows the only exciting parts of their movies in the commercial, so when you see it you realize that it’s boring, you already spent money to see it!
8- I normally IM. In the evenings are sometimes the only times I get to talk to family who doesn’t live near here anymore(especially my uncle in Iraq). I still manage to get my homework done, it’s just I multi task lol
9-The best invention for me would have to be the heat wraps. I have fibromyalgia. I often have problems with pain, but I can’t just lay down like I should. So the heat wraps are good for me to help ease the pain so I can keep up my normal daily routines.
10-I think they need to target for a wider variety of people. Not everyone is super model skinny. I tried to pertain for that because I thought that’s what everyone wanted in order to wear certain things. Beautiful means different things to different people. Plus, I get rather bored with the same things always thrown at me. Spice it-creativeness catches a lot of eyes. But simplicity often is better then extravagance

1- What websites do you like the best? Why?
myspace.com because it helps me connected to out of state family & friends ; facebook.com keeps me in touch with school people only
2- Do you prefer My Space or Facebook? Why?
Hmm; I like both, Myspace can keep me in touch with family & friends ; but facebook helps you connect with college freshmans or highschool class mates - the downside of facebook is that professors have them too & can check on your profile...myspace is getting the same way also. also i think that myspace should really enforce the age limit; private or not because its getting annoying about all the assults and stuff; myspace is a really good site & now its getting the wrath of parents/government wanting to close it down.
3- How do you feel when you get advertisements texted to your cell phones?
the only advertisement i get is from verizon so it doesn't really bother me
4- Which ad campaigns are your favorites and why? How about the WORST? Why?
my favorite has to be the dove ... campaign for beauty. I think it makes people 'wake' up and realize no one is perfect, but you are beautiful no matter what body shape or race you are. The worst would have to be the 'jetta' car commercials with the car accident. there is one that scares me, its 2 pairs of couples and they are coming from a movie & one of the girlfriends was teasing her boyfriend saying "oh you were definitly crying" and out of no where you can see an on coming truck coming from the side through the window. and he started to actually cry when they got out of the car because it hit them; it gives me the chills.
5- When do you notice advertisements the most? When watching TV, online, reading a magazine, etc.?
The ones I notice alot lately are the political ones, campaign for senate & stuff; I notice the 'secret' deoderant (sp) one alot.
6- What is your favorite form of entertainment? TV shows, websites, magazines, radio? (don't worry - i won't get offended!)
Tv Shows; it keeps me updated with celebraties ; that goes for magazines alot too. I love morning talk show on the radio.
7- How do you feel about ads before movies? How about ads before videos (like did you see the MTV VMA website??)?
I love previews to movies; they are good; but ads are annoying, you see it everywhere.
8- Do you do other things while you're doing homework? Like watch TV or IM?
i keep the tv on, but on low volume. Sometimes I do IM but it destracts me alot; even music, i cannot study & listen at the same time.
9-What's the best invention that's come into your life lately?
the internet; you find things more easier & you can talk without being on the phone, its very resourceful
10-I'm speaking to a group of entertainment executives (tv, radio, wireless, all of it) - is there anything you want them to know so they can create better products for you??
I think they should focus on stuff that aren't the most perfect thing, like the cliche skinny girl in a perfume or clothing commercial. i like more commercials like dove; campaign for beauty because really they are showing the beauty of people.

Think of me as your mouthpiece! And don't be too tired from all my questions to answer this one - it's important because these people WILL listen to us/you! :)

Oh, Cecilia...

 
I love that you can laugh at yourself. That's probably why I've admired you all these years (since Cosmo! girl.) Any who....

1- What websites do you like the best? Why? I like Myspace, Suicidegirls, and Facebook.
2- Do you prefer My Space or Facebook? Why? I like Myspace, because I can HTML the heck out of my profile. I love web design. :D
3- How do you feel when you get advertisements texted to your cell phones? I hate that junk.
4- Which ad campaigns are your favorites and why? How about the WORST? Why? I like the "Messing with sasquatch" commercials. I think they're for beef jerky. But they are soo funny. I also like the Sour Patch Kids commercials. Sour, then sweet. LOL! Especially the one with the little candy throwing eggs at that kid. Then he hugs him and says, "It's okay little guy." Hahahaha..
5- When do you notice advertisements the most? When watching TV, online, reading a magazine, etc.? I notice them on TV because on weekends I hang out with my buddy who has TiVo. We only watch the commericals we like. And sometimes we forget to fast forward.
6- What is your favorite form of entertainment? TV shows, websites, magazines, radio? (don't worry - i won't get offended!) I like movies, websites, and magazines. Especially fashion ones. What can I say, I'm a girl. :D
7- How do you feel about ads before movies? How about ads before videos (like did you see the MTV VMA website??)? I don't really like the ads before movies. I only like movie trailers. It lets me know what movies I want to watch later. Commercials are a bit over the top. I get enough of those alll over the internet and on TV.
8- Do you do other things while you're doing homework? Like watch TV or IM? I IM and listen to music. But m ost of the time I prefer silence. I only IM whilst doing homework. Otherwise, if there is too much noise I don't get much done.
9-What's the best invention that's come into your life lately? The best invention to come into my life is Adult Swim.
10-I'm speaking to a group of entertainment executives (tv, radio, wireless, all of it) - is there anything you want them to know so they can create better products for you?? To take those stupid commercials for texting "hot girls" off tv. They're stupid...lol..

1. Myspace- Easy to keep up with friends, chat, learn about people, etc.
YouTube- Funny videos to watch, video blogs are entertaining
Gurl.com- Great girl website.
Fanficiton.net- it's fun to read someone else's take on your favorite tv show or book or something.

2. Myspace is better. I've never used Facebook.

3. i don't really get any.

4. I like the dove commercials that are all about embracing the skin your in.

5. Probably in magazines because they are physically in front of you on paper.

6. TV shows- America's Next Top Model, Degrassi. The internet in general. And probably for magazines Seventeen & tabloids.

7. I miss the old days when it was just preveiws for movies. I don't CARE about a new deoderant. i just wanna see the movie!! It's annoying.

8. No. I can't concentrate with other things in the background.

9. Digital Cameras rock.

10. Um. cell phones cant get much thinner. Small is cute, but small isn't too practical when you cant find it in your purse...

1- What websites do you like the best? Why? I love, love, love homestarrunner.com! I like it so much because they have the funniest videos (strong bad emails and teen girl squad) that are completely random. Don't laugh, but I also like yahoo because they show me a weather report of my city, which I see every morning when I check my email before I head off to class.

2- Do you prefer My Space or Facebook? Why? Myspace! I tried facebook and didn't like it as much as myspace, I just like the general set up of myspace better, I can't explain it. Plus, facebook has that news feed that tells you EXACTLY what are your friends are doing. I found that weird and stopped using it!

3- How do you feel when you get advertisements texted to your cell phones? I don't think I've gotten any of those yet! Please tell me that's not going to become some new thing!

4- Which ad campaigns are your favorites and why? How about the WORST? Why? I love the ad campaign that Dove is doing, about real beauty. I think they're great! I also think the Mac v. PC commercials (with Justin Long) are funny and cute (I'm not sure if that counts). I'm not sure what the worst I've seen is.

5- When do you notice advertisements the most? When watching TV, online, reading a magazine, etc.? I think I NOTICE advertisements the most when I'm watching TV, but that's just because it's interupting something else. It's the same way with the radio.

6- What is your favorite form of entertainment? TV shows, websites, magazines, radio? (don't worry - i won't get offended!) Movies, defiantly. I'm just a huge movie fan.

7- How do you feel about ads before movies? How about ads before videos (like did you see the MTV VMA website??)? I know they annoy a lot of people, but they really don't bother me much. I mean, they have to pay the bills some how, right?

8- Do you do other things while you're doing homework? Like watch TV or IM? I actually have a playlist on my iTunes called "Homework". It's a nice little mix that I update every month or so and I listen to it while I do homework.

9-What's the best invention that's come into your life lately? Okay, so this might sound nerdy, but the planner. Just the little notebook day planners. I'm in my first semester of college and never had to use one before now. But let me tell you, using a planner has saved my bum several times!

10-I'm speaking to a group of entertainment executives (tv, radio, wireless, all of it) - is there anything you want them to know so they can create better products for you?? Alright, so this one should be the easiest to answer, but for some reason, I can't think of ANYTHING!

1- I love Facebook because it helps me stay connected to my high school friends and my new college friends. I also LOVE www.postsecret.blogspot.com , people send in there secrets on postcards to share with other people. No one gives their name, but the secrets are all really hard hitting and emotional.
2- I really love Facebook more, b/c facebook seems safer because you can only view people from your college and your friends. I also like the Poke feature.
3- It just wastes time because I always just delete it.
4- I love the Dove commercials because they promote positive body images and real woman in the media. I think the adverstisments that I don't like are the ones that use women as a prize, (example..."men if you drink this beer you will get this woman).
5- I would have to say watching television and reading magazines are about equal.
6- I love TV, but now that I am at college i find myself on the computer alot more.
7- I like watching previews at the movies, but I really hate watching a car commercial while at the movie theature, the same goes for music videos.
8- I am usually on the computer or watching tv. My homework only gets my full attention if it is a paper or studing for a big test.
9-My cell phone, because it keeps me connected to my family and friends.
10-Use postive images of woman. Not stick figures, but real woman that have curves! I would say the less you alienate that group of larger women the more business you will have.

Thanks!!

1. i like myspace cuz it's a way for me to connect with my friends and i also like anything that tells me the lyrics to songs. everytime i hear a song i like, i go online and try to find the lyrics.
2. myspace. i guess because i've never been on facebook and also it's so popular so it must be one of the best.
3. dont have a cell phone
4. hmm... i like funny ads. they really catch my attention and are entertaining. i really dislike cheap local commercials. they just really bug me. but i also dont like ones that use size 0 models because thats not how most real girls are shaped.
5. i notice them on tv and radio the most. the ones on tv usually arent that annoying but when they're on the radio i just think "get back to the music!"
6. i like all of those things. i'm constantly listening to the radio and i love tv reruns like Friends. plus i luv the internet cuz of myspace.
7. i personally LOVE watching previews in the movie theaters. i like to see whats coming out in theathers. now i dont like them before videos and dvds. they get annoying.
8. i usually watch tv or listen to the radio while doing homework
9. hmm... i really dont know... thats a good thing to think about...
10. hmm... i think that radio and tv channels should put less commercials in their shows. it gets annoying.

sorry the last answer is pretty vague. i have to get offline. wish i had more time to respond. bye atoosa!!

1- What websites do you like the best? Why?
I'm addicted to MySpace of course... my second most visited is the Seventeen page because I love the quizzes, freebies, polls, etc. I also use Google a lot for G-mail and quick things to look up!

2- Do you prefer My Space or Facebook? Why?
I think Facebook is more of a college thing, and I'm in high school still so I only have a MySpace

3- How do you feel when you get advertisements texted to your cell phones?
They kind of bug me because I always think it's gonna be something from a friend and then its some junk mail and I never know whether or not I can trust it.

4- Which ad campaigns are your favorites and why? How about the WORST? Why?
The ones for Tampax Pearl and Always pads make me laugh, I love how they try to make the best out of your periods! I also like the Truth ones about drugs and smoking. I can't think of one in particular that really bugs me right now.

5- When do you notice advertisements the most? When watching TV, online, reading a magazine, etc.? I always notice ones for makeup (Ex. Pure Makeup thats 50% water!)

6- What is your favorite form of entertainment? TV shows, websites, magazines, radio? I'm always on the web and listening to the radio. Magazines are usually my thing when I have some free time to relax, like before bed. Sometimes I read magazines and watch TV at the same time. TV is mostly a weekend thing for me.

7- How do you feel about ads before movies? How about ads before videos (like did you see the MTV VMA website??)? I'll watch commercials for movies, concerts, shows etc on TV but when they're in magazines I tend to skip them and go to to the articles.

8- Do you do other things while you're doing homework? Like watch TV or IM? I definetley IM and MySpace a lot while I do homework. I have my own laptop in my room, so I'm on a lot. I don't do homework by the TV so much anymore but I used to.

9-What's the best invention that's come into your life lately? IM definetley is nice. IMing is better than calling cause I can talk to all my friends at the same time

10-I'm speaking to a group of entertainment executives (tv, radio, wireless, all of it) - is there anything you want them to know so they can create better products for you?? It would be nice if cell phones could have 3-way calling. It would also be awesome if you could program your TV to give you reminders when you're favorite show was coming on! Or if you change channels during a commercial break, it could remind you when your show came back on.


PS- I have to admit I do see the resemblance between you and the crazy psycho Saw Man... but all that means is that your cheekbones are amazing and your hair is full of volume ;)

1- What websites do you like the best? Why?
-- Myspace and Xanga. Myspace because I can always stay in contact with friends and far away family members & Xanga because it allows me to pour out my feelings without worrying about criticisms.
2- Do you prefer My Space or Facebook? Why?
--I don't prefer either. Facebook is just as fun as Myspace, but for now, most of my friends are on myspace.. so i spend more time here.
3- How do you feel when you get advertisements texted to your cell phones?
--I dont get text messages..
4- Which ad campaigns are your favorites and why? How about the WORST? Why?
--I like the truth commercials about smoking. They're realistic and.. well truthful. I dont want to smoke, but sometimes i wonder.. well what if i tried it this one time? Those commercials remind me not to try things that wouldn't be good for me.
5- When do you notice advertisements the most? When watching TV, online, reading a magazine, etc.?
--Watching Tv. If im watching something, i stay on one channel even through the commercials but on anything else i just bypass them.
6- What is your favorite form of entertainment? TV shows, websites, magazines, radio? (don't worry - i won't get offended!)
--Websites. The internet seems endless, just keep clicking and you'll find something new whereas a magazine ends on page 100-something.
7- How do you feel about ads before movies? How about ads before videos (like did you see the MTV VMA website??)?
--I dont like ads before online videos. But ads before movies are alright with me. I'd rather watch them than sit in the theater until the movie starts.
8- Do you do other things while you're doing homework? Like watch TV or IM?
--Right now .. i should be doing homework, but it depends on what i'm doing. If its just daily homework, then i'll do something else like listen to music and IM. But if i'm studying, i dont do anything so that i retain all the information possible.
9-What's the best invention that's come into your life lately?
--Planners/Organizers. I have bad memory, so all i have to do is open up my planner and BAM there's what im supposed to be doing today.
10-I'm speaking to a group of entertainment executives (tv, radio, wireless, all of it) - is there anything you want them to know so they can create better products for you??
Think of me as your mouthpiece! And don't be too tired from all my questions to answer this one - it's important because these people WILL listen to us/you! :)
-- Sorry. I probably do, but my mind is on AP Microeconomics, and not the flaws of my cell phone (but it does have many).

1- What websites do you like the best? Why? facebook.com because it's more private and you meet people who you knew when you were like seven. Also ebay.com because I love shopping but def. don't have a disposable income.
2- Do you prefer My Space or Facebook? Why? Facebook because it's not as open as myspace.
3- How do you feel when you get advertisements texted to your cell phones? I ignore them. I don't really like text messages.
4- Which ad campaigns are your favorites and why? How about the WORST? Why? I really like the new one for "we are all african" with different celebrities. i just think the photography is really beautiful. i also like the badgely mischka spread with mary-kate and ashley because i love mary-kate and ashley. and finally the juicy couture ads because there's so much to look at.
5- When do you notice advertisements the most? When watching TV, online, reading a magazine, etc.? magazines, def.
6- What is your favorite form of entertainment? TV shows, websites, magazines, radio? (don't worry - i won't get offended!) television and magazines.
7- How do you feel about ads before movies? How about ads before videos (like did you see the MTV VMA website??)? i HATE ads before videos on the internet. they waste too much time to load when all you want to see is the video! ads before previews don't bother me. i don't really pay any attention to them,
8- Do you do other things while you're doing homework? Like watch TV or IM? television, im, magazines, ipod...everything. it makes homework less stressful but def. takes longer.
9-What's the best invention that's come into your life lately? well it's not in my life (but i wish it was)...the cell phone-e-mail things like the sidekick and blackberries. i constantly check my e-mail.
10-I'm speaking to a group of entertainment executives (tv, radio, wireless, all of it) - is there anything you want them to know so they can create better products for you?? try and make things seem vibrant and fun. a vacum cleaner can be fun if marketed the right way.

Hope that helps!
xo.

ps: you def. DO NOT look like the mask.

1- What websites do you like the best? Why? Myspace because it helps me keep in touch with my friends. I myspaced searched a friend I grew up with in Kindergarten from a state I used to live in 10 years ago and I found him. Now we IM each other.
2- Do you prefer My Space or Facebook? Why? I prefer myspace but I have both. Face book is totally different. It's more of just a photo album so u can see what's going on with your friends while myspace is everything else and more.
3- How do you feel when you get advertisements texted to your cell phones? I HATE IT! It ticks me off!
4- Which ad campaigns are your favorites and why? How about the WORST? Why? I like commercials that are funny and you can relate to. I love the commercial of the dropped cell phone calls and the identity theft commericals with people lip synching to mismatched voices. I don't like commercials that try to be artsy and show off they got a degree. I remember watching this really involved commerical that featured mood music....cheetahs...a tree...and a faded picture of a child....I still don't know what the commercial was about.
5- When do you notice advertisements the most? When watching TV, online, reading a magazine, etc.? Sometimes I don't pay attention to TV advertisments because of Tivo (unless the commerical looks hilarious). However I always look at magazine advertisments because they are so eye catching (usually). I like looking at what people say is "in style" and either laugh or agree.
6- What is your favorite form of entertainment? TV shows, websites, magazines, radio? I love reading magazines because I want to write for one some day. I also love TV and myspace. To say one was my favorite would be wrong because I do all three at the same time. I do listen to the radio occasionally when I really need to concentrate though.
7- How do you feel about ads before movies? How about ads before videos (like did you see the MTV VMA website??)? Sometimes they are annoying but I enjoy them because I like know what movies are coming out and I usually base what I see next on those previews. I don't really like advertisements for anything else before a movie because that's not what I want to see. I'm not going to get up out of my seat to buy some gatorade to be like Michael Jordon. I'm going to sit on my lazy but and watch my movie.
8- Do you do other things while you're doing homework? Like watch TV or IM? I usually listen to/watch TV, IM, check email, and once I even listend to music at the same time. I'm the queen at multi-tasking. It gets the creative juices flowing. I see it this way: listening to music or the tv blocks out random thinking that can distract me, myspace ever few minutes helps me not be bored out of my mind and just stare at HW in lost in thought boredom, and IM sometimes wakes me up every few seconds plus helps me keep in touch with my friends.
9-What's the best invention that's come into your life lately? Lately....I just got a cell phone for my 17th birthday and that is totally a Godsend since my boyfriend moved to college (only a few hours away but still). We have the same provider so its free which helps me keep in touch with him without racking up a big bill.
10-I'm speaking to a group of entertainment executives (tv, radio, wireless, all of it) - is there anything you want them to know so they can create better products for you?? We are not stupid. We don't like stereotypical things unless you are mocking them.We don't want to see the perfect model/movie star be a spokesperson for acne meds or faux serious things dosed in mood music. We want to relate to advertisments and above all else we want to laugh.

1) myspace and livejournal. myspace because i can keep in contact with my friends, and livejournal because my closest friends can read my personal thoughts. only a few of my friends have a LJ, and it makes it really nice that only they can read certain things.
2)Myspace. it's the original. ^____^
3) *spam*
4) political are the worst [[name calling, and in Arizona, there's a politician that supports abortion...]]. and the ones that show charities or cancer research are the best. they're the ones that are inspirational.
5) There are many ads in a magazine, those can be pages that are used to cover more stories and help tips or FAQ's and things. Internet is bad, because you get them in your inbox. and TV, it's just plain annoying when a good show is on, and then there's 5 minutes of commercials.
6) Music and dancing. Music, because it takes time to get true talent, and those who have it really are amazing. Dancing, because I know what it takes to be a dancer (normal and ballroom), and it's not easy stuff. It's also very beautiful if you watch a routine that the dancers put a lot of effort into and make it look so easy. It's amazing stuff, really.
7) ads before movies...alright, i can kinda understand, because then they want to promote the new movies and make sure you go back to that theatre to see it. but on MTV's VMA's? no! ugh, those are annoying.
8) Yes, of course. I usually am on my e-mail and on AIM.
9) iPod. it helps me get away, in a sence. It's a good way to calm me down when I'm upset.
10) for wireless: charge less for texting and AIM. more people will get it if it's cheaper!!

Thanks Atoosa!
--Elizabeth

1- What websites do you like the best? Why?
...stumble.com because you find all kinds of interesting sites you wouldn't normally find while browsing or on google..you can even get the toolbar!...Youtube.com because i get to watch shows and music videos etc...same with overdrive.mtv.com...what else...launch.com because I get to watch music videos and I come on to myspace.com to check comments and messages and stuff!..plus you get to meet interesting people and learn new things!...

2- Do you prefer My Space or Facebook? Why?
Myspace only because I've never had facebook!...

3- How do you feel when you get advertisements texted to your cell phones?
Where I live we don't get advertisements of such txted to our phones...just announcements...but if I did get advertisments txted to my phone, I would probably get annoyed with it after a while...

4- Which ad campaigns are your favorites and why? How about the WORST? Why?
Um...in terms of magazine ads...I love Dooney n Burke...Rampage...Got Milk?...those informative ads like Truth.com and those ones...music ads too...

5- When do you notice advertisements the most? When watching TV, online, reading a magazine, etc.?
Mostly when reading magazines...cause I don't watch tv much anymore...but the tv ads get your attention faster.

6- What is your favorite form of entertainment? TV shows, websites, magazines, radio? (don't worry - i won't get offended!)
Magazines...Radio...Websites...Tv shows...lol!...all of the above!...lol! It depends on my mood!

7- How do you feel about ads before movies? How about ads before videos (like did you see the MTV VMA website??)?
I like when they advertise other movies before an actual movie...because then I know what's coming up and whether it would be any good!...I like when videos go none stop, but sometimes you need a little break...so sometimes I don't mind...

8- Do you do other things while you're doing homework? Like watch TV or IM?
O yes!...I have always been doing something else while doing my homework...even when I was a baby girl!...Most times...I'm watching TV or IMing people...and sometimes I'll listen to the radio but I get distracted by that very easy!

9-What's the best invention that's come into your life lately?
lol!...um...good question...I would prob just say the Ipod!...because I really can't think of anything else right now!...I LOVE Music!...lol!

10-I'm speaking to a group of entertainment executives (tv, radio, wireless, all of it) - is there anything you want them to know so they can create better products for you??
Make these products more accessible. Where I live I don't get these things very often and they certainly are not affordable down here. Allow your websites to ship your products to places all over and sometimes you can recheck those prices becasue they aren't always affordable. Also create as wide a variety as possible. People LOVE variety!...
Also for magazine and billboard ads...try to use every body time...from small to medium to large...I'm not huge but I'm not small either and I always feel like there is tons of pressure on me to look a certain way, thankfully I don't give in, but I do feel the pressure and that's hard enough!

1- What websites do you like the best? Why? Mainly Im on Myspace, Im also on sites looking for colleges. Myspace is to keep in touch with my friends at other school or my out of state friends from elementary school. Adn I've been searching for colleges.well..obvious reason...

2- Do you prefer My Space or Facebook? Why? Myspace...I have a facebook, but none of my friends are on it..:)

3- How do you feel when you get advertisements texted to your cell phones? I dont, Im on a do not call list, and I guess that block its, but before I had it, I hated it, i didn't see the point in them

4- Which ad campaigns are your favorites and why? How about the WORST? Why? There is one on TV with a bunch of little kids talking about what they wont do then at the end they say " cna I pet your dog?" Its just the cutest thing and it teaches as well.. and the worst..is that stupid Head On headache stuff..its the dumbest commercial and completely pointless..

5- When do you notice advertisements the most? When watching TV, online, reading a magazine, etc.?Maily when watching TV or In Magazines..or if Im riding with someone in a car and i see signs

6- What is your favorite form of entertainment? TV shows, websites, magazines, radio? (don't worry - i won't get offended!) I like some TV shows...but i am 100% addicted to magazines...yea..it takes my money too..lol

7- How do you feel about ads before movies? How about ads before videos (like did you see the MTV VMA website??)? Before movies is cool because it shows you coming up movies that you may want to see. Before videos is pointless..we clicked it to watch the video.if we wanted and ad.we'd watch TV

8- Do you do other things while you're doing homework? Like watch TV or IM? I try not to but the TV is on, but if it distracts me enough like it usually does then i move away or turn it off.

9-What's the best invention that's come into your life lately? right now..this computer..I love it..but hopefully i will get a sidekick soon..maybe that can organize me some more.lol

10-I'm speaking to a group of entertainment executives (tv, radio, wireless, all of it) - is there anything you want them to know so they can create better products for you??
Think of me as your mouthpiece! And don't be too tired from all my questions to answer this one - it's important because these people WILL listen to us/you! :) Stop waving your way around the idea of what you are trying to say. I've seen and heard so many things where they dont come out and just tell you what they want you to do, they try to get around it to make it sound better. If you have to take that long to find some "better" words to make it sound like something someone would want to do then obviously its not something anyone would want to do and you should work on something new. ((I just realized how mean this sounded...my bad..no offense to you of course Atoosa...you're amazing))
