Culture Jamming

       I unfortunately missed the class when Mr. Herndon actually talked about culture jamming and what it was about, I did get to see the movie though.  I now understand what he meant about the don't get arrested part. :)  I'm debating on what to do still.  I'm not totally clear on which direction I want to go with my topic, marriage in the media.  I liked how bold the people in the documentary were.  I don't think I'll go as far as boycotting Disney but I might go terrorize the magazine section at Walmart.  The approaches the people in the documentary took were different in a few ways.  I really liked the group that went around rearranging billboards.  They talked about how they do minimal things to change the message that make a large impact.  I liked that because they're the small things that always make the largest impact.  You wonder how many people had to see them before someone was actually called.  At least a few people got a good laugh on the way to work.  The BLF at least left a 12 pack or something for the people that had to clean up.  I also like the fact that they didn't damage anything.  The guy that was "preaching" at the Disney store kind of freaked me out, but I guess his approach did catch attention.  I thought it was funny how someone in our class asked if he had bought the Mickey he had on the cross.  Mr. Herndon said he hoped the man took it from a small child.  Made my day haha.  But I guess it was informative, I myself didn't really know the extent of the Disney sweatshop scandal stuff going on.  I buy stuff from the Disney store all the time so I might think twice about it now.  I'll definitely have a visual of Mickey on a cross everytime I walk in the store.  The most disturbing part of the movie was when that girl tried to rap.  I wanted to sink into my chair and die.  I have this thing it might be a complex, but I can't stand to watch people embarass themselves.    My husband makes fun of me bacause I always cover my face with my shirt when someone does something embarassing on TV.  Overall, I liked the movie.  It really helped me with ideas on what I was planning to do.
