Octuplet Mom wants to be Sponsored
Posted by: | Comments
This article before getting to this point discussed the mother of the Octuplets and how obvious it is that she only had this many kids in order to become famous and to be “Sponsored” by all different types of brands that want to be seen. But what are these brands Supporting??? This woman is in NO place to be having 8 more kids after she already has 6 under the age of 8 and does not have a stable life. However it seems like anyone will do anything to get a free ride these days and as a brand this is not the things that we want to be promoting! “And, hey, TLC? You need to think about what, exactly, you’re selling.” adage If the family needs thing donate it to give them these objects that they need but you do not need to be putting your name with these products! What are yalls thoughts should brands support the mom of the Octuplets????
Nike’s Inspiration
Posted by: | CommentsWhen looking at the Foundation for Better Life, I realized that their overall purpose was to inspire you. Immediately I thought of the Nike ads that show talented athletes. I think that even people who don’t consider themselves “sports fanatics” are inspired by many of their ads. I love this following ad showing Michael Jordan:

Or if you want to simply read the text of the ad:
“I’ve missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life and that is why I succeed.” – Michael Jordan
Or another great Nike ad with Michael Jordan:

I think the reason that I was so inspired by the ads was due to the simplicity of their message. So often people see only the negative things about themselves, and this ad is proclaiming that failing over and over again leads to success. I think they are trying to define that success is never giving up despite the circumstances. Also, I think most people think of Michael Jordan as one of the best, if not the best, basketball players to live. So if he is making mistakes in what he is best at, well I guess it okay if I am too.
Finally, I compared the Michael Jordan Nike ads to his Gatorade ads. I think Gatorade tried to create a similar message. Unlike Nike, I think Gatorade’s message was too complicated, and their message failed to inspire me like the Nike ad.
