Media Log

Sat. 11-21-09

• 11:00am cycling written announcements
• 7:30 pm verbal advertisement for food. (A bakesale at a play we went to.)

Sun. 11-22-09

• 11:30--3:30pm: adverts on T.V. very ineffective because I couldn't hear them and I wasn't actually actively watching the T.V. anyway.
• 7:30--10:00pm: Pandora. A few audio adverts for government announcements and Honda. Text ads on side.
• 11:30m--Facebook and MyLifeIsAverage.com: text ads on the sides. Totally ineffective.

On a more typical week, I watch more T.V. shows from Hulu.com which has frequent 30 second adverts. But I recall almost nothing about them. They have a few interactive ones, that I have an easier time remembering, however, not off the top of my head. I think I am much less exposed to advertisments of all kind than the typical American.
