This video demonstrates the use of derogatory terms in everyday life. The particular term "that's so gay" is a very common one. Would you be offended if you overheard the two girls' conversation while shopping? Do you think that this commercial would be effective when aired on television? Lastly, why do you think the company chose a celebrity to be in the video?

Remember when you were a kid and asked your parents for a happy meal? In the video, San Francisco is going to ban the happy meal and we can see the "smile" suddenly becomes a "frown". What do you think of this? If the whole country bans the happy meal, what consequences do you think will come? On the other hand, why does the video use some posters such as the one "I want you for us army"?

"Cancerous" Posts
Cyber bullying has become a massive problem amongst users of social networking websites. People feel that behind the keyboard, they are safe to say whatever they want. In this instance, someone is trying to spread positive support to a cause and someone else does not agree with her way of supporting such cause. Little did the bully know how much controversy he would start. Some may agree with his views, but other will be completely against it. Could he have expressed his thoughts in a nicer manner, or was he in the right to express his opinion in a belligerent way? What are your opinions on the topic at hand?
