i think that the main point of this video is to warn us from TV so we can learn because it has a big effect on people especially kids. and i strongly agree with the video that it has effect on us. moreover from this video i have learnt not to believe the TV in any circumstances or to question my self after each thing they bring on TV. the most that surprised me in this book was when i saw all the sexual advertisements such as the skittles and McDonald's in my opinion that is a really nasty thing to put on TV and the governments should probably ban these kind of commercials.

DeleteI think the point of this video is telling us that there are some inappropriate advertisements in the world. It might be okay for adults but for kids it might not be appropriate. And I absolutely agree with the video that it said the advertisements has great effects on us. I learnt from this video that there are many inappropriate advertistment to me to watch. I haven't noticed that there were sexual word in the skittles advertisements, and McDonalds. The video made me think about many advertisements like these.

I agree with you minju :D
Deletegood answers minju! yea i was also shocked by the advertisements of skittles and Mc donalddd!
Deleteagree! i also think that was inappropriate for kids!
Deletemy opionion of the main point of this video is showing us how much theinappropriate messsages, video, channels is being viewed
ReplyDeletein different part of countries influencing little kids who mostly spends time playing computer or watching television.I agree with this video. I have learned from this media not to believe in every adverstiement even though it might be appealing to my taste and i think i've got to have it. The most surprising thinkg i have learnt from this video is the fact of "secret message" hidden inside in some of the adverstiment. Not only that this "secret message" is mostly inapproapriate such as skittles, which has SEX as a secret message.More over the "secret message" is hard to find, eventhough we might have seen it we usually don't realise the secret message hidden inside the advertisement.
clearly showed your opinion! good job Ji Young!
Deleteyess the skittle was one of really inappropriate things and i agree with you, Jiyoung!
Deletei think the main plot of this video is exclaiming about the disadvantages and the hidden purpose of the cartoons that effects the child growth and the young teenagers. in this video, media is presented as the sexual device and i agree with the perception of the video. i learned that many cartoons and advertisements contains lots of sexual things and before, i never noticed about those sexual looks because it was decorated with the animals and obviously it was cartoon, but now, i knew about the hidden purpose about those cartoons and the advertisements. i learned that many advertisement and cartoons can badly influence us and the children who always watch cartoons. As i told you, i also learned about the hidden words and the hidden propose of the media. i was surprised by the advertisements of skittles, burger king and Mc donald because i never thought about those things and never noticed before.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with this! I never knew sex was used to much in advertising! Its quite disgusting actually..
DeleteI totally agree. I never knew that before
DeleteI agree with you Min Joo!
Deletethx guys! :)
DeleteThe purpose of this video is to prove to its viewers the disadvantages of advertising. The media presents the sexual references, which many people do not notice and prove of it by showing sneaky examples of advertisements. I believe this video is a bit over the top and exaggerates a lot, although I do agree with most points throughout it. I learnt how sly and hidden many companies get and how far they go to keep them greatly unnoticed. I was surprised by how much sex is influenced in advertising and how even candy, fast foods and cartoons are advertised in such ways which could effect an adolescents thinking and growth!
ReplyDeletegood indi :) nice opinion with nice summary! :)
DeleteI don't really understand the video.... I never knew that lots of adverisments had sex in it. Know I know
ReplyDeleteOverall, i think the main point of this video is showing how TV is bad for kids. Even though it exaggerates some bad effects of watching TV constantly brings, such as more chances of obesity on children and violence children, although it is not quite directly related, but I agree with most of this. This video offers how sex references through advertisement in the media to people without them realizing what they are watching. I learned what a subliminal message is and how it is shown through cartoons and brands ad. I was surprised to see how innocent kids are exposed to sex through watching advertisements with the hidden messages. But I wonder why they would insert sexual references in advertisements that have nothing to do with it. –sunhee-
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you Sun Hee :)
DeleteThe main point of this video is telling us that our generation today has changed, the media are showing children what’s not appropriate for them. It contains some stuff that people shouldn’t have learned till 16 and I strongly agree with this video information. The most shocking aspects are violence and sexual content. Young children should not receive any media that involves violence because they would think that it is okay to bring weapons and use them on others, this could be a very bad influences as they grow with watching films with violence. Also children should not receive any media that involves sexual content because it’s been proven that it have many bad effects on the human brain, especially for the younger viewers also including the skittles and McDonald’s advertisement.
ReplyDeleteTrue story!
DeleteI think the main point of this video is that there are too many commercials with inappropriate things in it and young kids can learn bad things from it so people should do something with it. I agree with this video and I was very shocked about sexual or symbolic subliminal messages such as s in front of ex and symbol of freemasons. This could lead people to think this kind of things as common and have a dirty mind.Governments really should ban this things.
ReplyDeleteFantastic work everyone!!
ReplyDeleteThe video is completely accurate. Even without you knowing, your brain absorbs in all these obscene things. This can especially affect little kids.
