In Response to Britney

            
  I heard that Tom Brady was going to advertise the UGG Boots and my first thought was it still won’t sell to males. After I read this article I thought about it more and maybe it will happen, maybe males will actually start to slowly ware the UGG boots but I really do not think it will be a success or follow through. When  I first saw the UGG boots come out I thought they were extremely ugly and I  thought to myself I will  never ware those but as time went on they became more and more popular with different styles. I kept hearing from everyone how great and comfortable they were so I finally got a pair. What made me change mind was not just because they were in “style” but how  unbelievably comfortable they are and how you can wear them with just about everything, so why pass up a comfortable shoe that everyone wares. I have heard so many guys say how ugly they are and the question why do girls ware those things… I think Tom Brady may really like them but he is probably getting a lot of money for advertising it. I think he is a better choice than most people because he’s such a big Fan to most of  New England but I still question if it will sell to males. It has been a female shoe for so long that you can’t change it now. UGG’s just don’t seem manly enough.

Apple's New products


We all know that the iphone and ipads and mac computers have been extremely successful in the past and I have brought us into a world of new technology. However I often question when will the products end? First it was the 3g iphone than the 4g now they soon will have the 5g and same goes with the ipads. Each one is better and better but how much better can they really get. The new ipad that is coming out is said to be better and includes new features such as front and rear cameras, allowing video conversation. Steve Jobs believes that the ipad 2 will help apple widen its lead in the market. I think that the technology of the iphone and ipad is great but is it all moving too fast? I feel like once something new comes out a few months later the “newest” is now old. Do you think apple should slow down with the  new versions of their products? Is it all happening to quickly?

Fast Food Promoting Health...
I think that fast food places such as McDonalds, Wendy’s and Burger King will always be in competition. I do think that fast food places can get away with whatever they want. Yes McDonalds may have salads to be healthier but the fried chicken and fatty dressing defeats the purpose of a healthy choice. I don’t really think fast food places care about people’s health they are just concerned about what they can market to make more money. Since there are so many complaints now about over weight Americans, fast food places are trying to cut down on the fat and calories but they are still concerned about what taste the best not what is healthy. They are able to turn anything that’s healthy into something that’s not healthy. I believe McDonlads even started selling instant oatmeal with fruit. In my opinion the oatmeal advertisements does not look fresh or appealing to me.  I would never get a salad from a fast food lace because I just know by the looks and taste of it, it’s not healthy and not fresh. I do think fast food places should just stick with selling regular chicken instead of friends chicken or wheat buns instead of regular buns.
