When I first saw this ad i instantly thought reverse psychology. Now a days not many ads catch our attention. So why not use reverse psychology. A good ad stays in your head for days. For this ad the make you think about what they mean for days. Why would Colossal U be talking bad about it's self? Well to me its to simply catch the attention of people walking by and make you 
wonder. I've seen this technique used before in making Americans vote. Celebrities say "Don't vote" and it is supposed to get people to vote. Showing humour is also a good way in showing that the school isn't always that serious all the time. If i were making and ad I'd would have done it like Colossal U has, using reverse psychology. I think reverse psychology is used to get in the minds of youths and really stick things in their heads. Colossal U dares to be different than everyone else. Some of my friends were confused. I simply didn't think much of it. Colossale U could become a possible choice of school in the near future. But for now i'll stick out and have fun while it lasts.
When i play a game i usually get hooked the first day and probably the second but i never become a harcore gamer that plays for 6 hours a day because of it. i admit i do get hooked but it doesnt become my whole life. Right now im starting to slow down my gaming for some reason. Maybe its because they dont make any good games for the wii. Harcore gamers, in my opinion, wouldnt really go for the wii but something they would go for game systems that have more mature like shooting games or stratagy games like the Xbox 360 or PS3. People get hooked on those like a drug addict. i have gotten hooked on a game but not for very long. My attention span is about 30 minutes if someone is speaking to me and for games the most maybe 2 weeks. I've learned that i waste money on gaming consoles and not use them. I do have a friend that gets hooked on games but i wont say his name (D. GALANGALANGALANG) and when a new game comes out he buys it and plays it for at least a month until another one comes out. The Guitar Hero franchise is getting old as well. They really cant improve colours sliding down a screen. So to me that game is in the past. The best games i've enjyed were shooting games. It gives you a rush when you sneak up from behind an enemy because you have no idea if there going to detect your presence and shoot you back. Its like going to war with no fear of death but a fear of losing. I also hate the prices on these games. They're at least $50 a game. Mario and Luigi are starting to lose me because im started of stomping on Goombas and defeating Bowser as well as saving Princess Peach. New characters should come up and more enemies and different game plays to spice things up please!
After watching the first commercial i thought it was a funny way to promote the beer. I think the "wassup" hype started with the Scary Movie series. This really brought my attention to the commercial.
President Barack Obama came out with an even funnier commercial, showing issues and problems that America faces today. Doing so made it funny as well as alerting the American people issues facing the nation. Such as Americans losing jobs and homes, the war in Iraq, people struggling with health care, the stock market and economy going down and the clean up and after math of Hurricane Katrina as well evacuation plans for future hurricanes to come. At the end of the commercial the guy asks "So whats up B" and the other one replies "change" "opportunity" while Barack was on the screen implying that he will change the nation if elected.This was a smart and humorous idea from Barack and his team. Watching both these commmericals jogged my memory and made me remember the old days were in school we would say "wassup!". The commercial Obama came out with made me remember the good old days! A new addition to my memory will be this revised and alerting ad. Some one else could possibly come out with another revised version of the commercials Both advertisements were entertaining as well as informing. Barack Obama did a good job on theses ad's. i hope more of these are to come.
