This article is about a Superbowl ad that was tasteless. It shows just how far companies will go to get their name out there.

I remember seeing this ad during the Super Bowl. At the time I thought it was a joke because it seemed to be done in really bad taste. I haven't heard much fall-out until now.

If it's true that they only pulled the ads because the show would cause controversy, I'm unimpressed; the mucky-mucks at Lowe's certainly aren't uncanny outlaws.

Not many "mucky-mucks" are :)

How true that is; sadly.

Article about Lawrence & Schiller Advertising Agency keeping their employees tied together.

I see this almost every lunch break I take with my co-workers. There is always someone in the group that wants an extra 10 or 30 minutes more added to their breaks. I think this dilemma will always occur due to people's attitudes and their work ethic during the work day. Maybe an added incentive will cause the person to change their time of work breaks to lesser time but some will always want an extra minute or two.

This article talks about adding a tax on those who make millions of dollars. Many questions arise from this idea. But the biggest one of all...how ethical would doing something like this be?

When thinking about advertising and people's views of objectifying women, I thought of this billboard. The woman, Jenifer Robb, who they mention in the article, is a friend of mine. I personally loved the ad and didn't feel objectified in the slightest. I found it funny that the one woman who made such a stink about it actually caused more people to go to the store.

This is the reason I don't see myself going into politics. I have friends who are politicians and have been blasted like this. I'm proud to say that none of those friends have stooped to these tactics. Unfortunately though, when mud is being slung, it's difficult to get out of the trench if you don't throw mud back out. Our society seems to see people who don't fight back as cowards or that they have something to hide, but if they do fight back, they are low.

Wow, I was really surprised by this article. Some lengths that politicians go to in order to look better than one another is absolutely ridiculous. Anyone who knows about the legislation Obama supports can clearly see that high school sex ed and kindergarden sex ed are nothing similar; teaching a kid nothing more than "good touch bad touch" would essentially be the end of it for the younger kids.

'Analyzer' Appears In Computer Ad

The current event with the biggest implications on morals and ethics right now. I bring this story up because Mike Mcqueary was the guy who personally witness an attack on a boy, could have stopped it, then told Paterno. Paterno told the AD. Apparently JOEPA gets fired, and McQueary is still coaching.

Interesting article, and very odd that McQueary is still on staff.

This article fits nicely with our discussion this week. It talks about adding a capital buffer. Some law makers say that without this, the banking industry could sink the economy again.

Advertising has a great influence on the way people understand themselves and the world around them as well as all the fundamental values and behavior (Foley 1999, p.220). Thus ethics and moral principles in advertising should be widely taught, motivated and understood well by advertisers so as to affect people positively by delivering their intended messages behind their Ads.
