sO ii walked into the exam confident..walked out disapointed but i guess it pushed me to be way more prepared for my real exam. i found the given website hard to deconstruct, it was a struggle drawing things out of it! but its no excuse my skills should be improved to not let me down.
French First Lady Carla Bruni has been portrayed as a sex-mad femme fatale on an episode of the Simpsons.
The former supermodel and husband President Nicolas Sarkozy are the cartoon stars of the episode called The Devil Wears Nada which celebrates 20 years of the hit U.S. show.
Bruni is lampooned as a chain-smoking man-eater who flirts with Homer Simpson's colleague Carl when the pair are invited to reception at the Elysee Palace in Paris
'You're getting cosy with Sarkozy': The Simpsons versions of Carla Bruni and Nicolas Sarkozy
Smoking: Cartoon Carla tells Homer's friend Carl she wants to 'make love, right now'
Dressed in a low-cut ball gown, Bruni corners Carl and announces: 'I want to make love, right now.'
Homer then warns Carl that Bruni is the president's wife, telling him: 'You know that woman you've been playing 'hide the baguette' with? That's the First Lady of France, Carla Bruni!'
To prove it, Homer phones Sarkozy's office.'Hello, you are getting cosy with Sarkozy,' he says jovially into the phone.
This leaves me to question how such institions can create a programe displaying mockery of the couple. Also should this type of content be in a cartoon programe watched by many younger viewers.What has media come to? entertainment? possibly, but it puts aside all other morality.

Will technology ever come to a standstill?
Impossible is nothing, as the adidas slogan says. With the development of science, technology will grow alongside. Future life could demand certain technology to improve way of life for the publics need, this will mean invention will never stop when there is always something better that can be achieved.
If we look at the evolvement of television screens we know that they were once as small as a reading book and people loved it but now we want big full HD screens because we care about the quality we watch, also the modern, less space taking aspect of it. Most recently were seeing an interactive tv that is a combination of tv and pc, it's all for a easier way of life. With every new gadget you may have the first generation and the second generation..with the first generation being the original and the second generation being the better updated one. The ipod touch is an example as the second generation has speakers, it is a slight difference but that difference could have been the reason behind the other peoples decision to not buy the first generation ipod. We could argue it is the institutions marketing technique to create competiton between people to have the best ipod therefore the newest one will be represented as that, creating desire to want it. However it could just be that that technology was not available then, which links to our question.
in my media lesson on wednesday, i learnt a lot...about the roots of each platform, how a merger has saved top companies such as Virgin Media. The whole principle of public service (hey we are important after all!) not giving permission for channels to run what they want, just for an increase in views and profit.
>What significance or impact does this have on ur AS?
Understanding Instistutions will help with writing a answear to an instituion based question regarding AT PROM --->Audience Technology Public service Regulation Ownership Marketing in my exam, until i have written about all concepts my answear is not finished!
This will help in my AS as to show understanding of how certain media text has been constructed because of its institution, or how they had to make it that certain way relating to public service remit.
I think the lesson was PERFECT, there was a lot of information that we were able to soak in successfully because of discussions.
Everyone has an opinion about katie Price and peter Andre breaking up.
Some feel:
DEVASTED because they really thaught their love was genuine and would last
HAPPY because Peter deserve someone who doesnt get her tits out in clubs!
i liked them, thought they love each other, but peter Andre has said to be 'pleased' about the result. Currently a article in the NOW magazine published a story on him portayed as a bad father and at fault for accidents involving disabled son Harvey, plus a unloving husband while with jordan.

Andre called the infidelity rumors "untrue and hurtful" and apparently they were. A judge ruled in his favor and he won a substantial reward in damages over it.
His attorney released the following statement:
"Mr. Andre was also said to have demanded sick sexual threesomes from his wife, which horrified her and which she did not enjoy, feeling used and like a sex doll."
"Mr. Andre was said to be lying in portraying himself as a loving father and husband. He would never do anything to hurt his children, whom he loves very much."
The magazine admitted it lie and they accepted the story was untrue. Andre had sued the mag for £300,000, but no word on how much he was actually awarded.

False publication like this demonstrates the medias negative aspect of wanting to create an interest by all means for pure marketing profit. <>

The second video 'The Machine is us' illustrates that We Are The Web and that we teach the machine e.g everytime we forget a link between words, we teach it an idea. I must say ii love that Digital text exists..because its flexible, The you are able to jus type out your idea then joggle it about to create a fine sentence. Its important to realise 'The web is no longer just linking information...The web is linking people'..'people sharing,trading and collaborating..' >>Facebook, Youtube, Wikipedia..etc
