"The Bias of Language, The Bias of Pictures"

"Little Man Darth Vader"
Today's blog is about a very funny, witty commercial, that got it's point across without much dialog or interaction. The commercial fallows a little boy dressed up as Darth Vader desperately trying to use the Force. There is very little interaction between the different genders in this commercial but the characters of the mother and father still play a big role. It has always been normal for the father to go to work and the mother to stay home with the children. This is evident in this commercial. But is it an adequate representation of a 21st century family?, it is hard to say. Now a day's thing are much different. It is not like the old days were the father works from sun up to sun down and the wife stays home with the children. Based on data from 1998, both spouses were employed at least part time in 51 percent of married couples with children, compared with 33 percent in 1976., things are not like they used to be. But in the other hand many families still fallow this old school way of living, it is kind of like a tradition, and it is very apparent in this commercial with the mother making her son a sandwich and the father coming home from work.
Darth Vader is unforgettable character from a classic American movie. The Star Wars pictures are movies that are going to live on for many generations to come. Movies like that are rare. Although these movies are about thirty years old, they still play them on a regular basis on cable. They are memorabilia and clothing that you can still find in any mall, all over the United States. Not to mention that parents who are huge fans of the George Lucas movies, can't wait for their kids to get old enough so that they can watch the movies together. Star Wars is going to live on forever.

Justin Beiber's "Baby" Ft. Ludacris
Today the video "Baby" by Justin Beiber Ft. Ludacris will be examined.
The video is your typical R&B, boy likes girl concept. The song is about a boys first real love. Justin meets his love interest at a bowling alley. In the beginning they do a little flirting and towards the end in turns into an all out break dancing battle between both genders. The setting for the video was great, bowling alleys are a perfect location for two teens to meet. This video represents a typical, but fun and safe way for teens in the 21st century to meet and interact. The combination of Pop and Rap has been around for a while, but it is definitely seen more in the last few years. It definitely has to do with commercializing ones self to a main stream audience, who otherwise would have never heard of you. On the same token, Ludacris bring a bit of ruggedness to the video which gives it a different dimension. Overall the video was entertain and fun. The dancing and the black light colors definitely makes it a fun music video to watch.
