ITS NOT FUNNY!

In this commercial/ad, i think the main message in this whole ordeal of events is that the best way to cool off from a hot tub that's too hot is to drink their product. The commercial gets off topic dramatically many times. From the swishing, swirling, and sipping of the drinks to the dramatic yelling and then apologies. It also seems to get people together since zach has flown down several times, even though he has complained many times before, in order to meet up with them and have a drink. It is all wrapped up in the end when there is text saying "In an absolut world friends would get together more often".

In my opinion, this does not really show off as a commercial to a product. Its only till the end that you realize it was supposed to be an ad for Absolut. This, to me at least, is so bad, that its good. This is the comical genius of Tim and Eric. The fact that Zach flew down there for the seventh time, and all of the other ridiculous reasons he is unhappy is hilarious to me. Great Job!

Why I'm in English 102

Honestly the main reason why i am in English 102 is because it's a gen ed class. I'm only taking it because it is a good class to take that is transferable. Since i am most likely going into a computer programming degree, English 102 is not on the top of the list of classes to take. But i will admit that it is a very good class to take because many degrees often require some type of an English/writing class. I personally don't like writing essays, but if i have to then ill eventually get them done. By taking this class, i will hopefully learn to become a stronger writer so i wont have to work on my papers as much.
