Narrative

It was intresting pulling the narrations out of the music videos. I never watch videos anymore & had forgotten how they are. Only footage I watch of music is live videos and concert peformances. I usually just listen to an audio track rather than seek a video when I want to listen to song. But videos do provide background that you might miss just listening to the song.

Road Rage

I used global warming for my adbust but my second choice was road rage. I don't know what comes over people when they get behind a steering wheel that makes them act in ways that they do. For a road rage adbust I was going to change the Volkswagen slogan "Drivers Wanted" to "Drivers Hunted."

Road rage has a personal interest to me because, for some unknown reason, driving a vintage beetle calls it out of people. I have never been honked at & flipped off so much as I am when I drive my beetle.

Ad Buster

I decided to attack my artifact selection at one of its biggest weakness', it is bad for the environment. I used a spin-off of an old Exxon ad as my ad buster. What I did was design an ad in the style of the Exxon ad but with current statistics of the polar bear. I got this idea while reading that at the current rate of environmental damage, the polar bear will lose 1/3 of its population in the next 50 years. The polar bear has recently been added to the endangered species list. Despite that, oil companies are still getting access to drill in polar bear habitats. One of the slogans I read while reading about this was “You can’t ride a polar bear to work.” Which is true, but you don’t have to ride a SUV or Van either.
