Old spice probably had the best ads. Just the way they were written and presented was phenomenal. The actor had amazing charisma. Everyone knows those ads and that is the reason old spice is really popular again. I din;t really have a favourite store i usually just by clothes that i think are nice and my style from wherever. I prefer pepsi over coke because of the taste. There is a definite taste difference between the two and i just like Pepsi's taste better.

Well our design for our company is coming together quite nicely. But in all honesty there is something about our idea that just isn't clicking with me. It seems like a brilliant idea on paper but in practice it just doesn't seem attainable. The longer and longer I am in this class and have this idea I realize that I am not cut out to create a successful business. I don't know it just seems like my moral is down at this point. But i need to get out of this slump and help motivate my coworkers. It seems like I need some motivation myself.....

Things like having your products made in sweatshops in third world countries can give your company a bad reputation. Another thing could be something like a scandal can give a company a bad name. Sometimes it isn't necessarily the company's fault. But a lot of the time the do have some hand in it. I think a good P.R. stunt would be something like giving a large amount of money to a charitable organization.

While this guy's intentions are good willed, i think that cutting the costs of energy would harm the economy because energy is such a big market. Not only that but if energy costed less wouldn't more people be consuming more energy? So it would also not harm the environment? If the energy was greener and held less of an impact on the environment i think his idea would hold more premise. I understand his idea but it needs work.

I think he meant that you should ignore your morals in order to achieve success and if you think its right you should do it. If you want to do it you should ignore your morals if you are having second thoughts. I would guess that he has some sort of power and used this saying to get there. i would disagree with him personally because of my strong moral conviction. But hey if he feels that it works good for him, but i will stick to my morals to achieve success.

I wouldn't add time to his sheet because first of all its dishonest and second of all it would not only get him in trouble, it would get me in serious trouble as well and i would most likely lose my job.
I wouldn't take up the offer. It's stealing first of all and second of all it's dishonest again.
I would alert the teller of his mistake.
I was raised on honesty and thats the way i carry my life now that i am responsible for my own actions.

I think because there is a rich person that is showing empathy with the less fortunate people in society. Its a rare sight to see someone care for those below them in this day and age.

A good advertisement is one that catches your eye, or makes you laugh and most important, makes you remember the product. Old spice ads are super effective because they stay in your mind they make you think of the product. Bad advertisements are boring, don't make sense, and don't stay with you. Part if being a bad ad is that no one remembers your product so i can't even think of any that would fall under the category of a bad advertisement.
