Media Blogs with Kai

Yo, what's up guys, it's Kai, back again with another media blog. This time I'm gonna be commenting on how advertisements make up more of televised sports than the actual sport itself. Yesterday the Louisiana State (LSU) Tigers beat the Clemson Tigers 42-25 in the CFP National Championship presented by AT&T, played in the Mercedes Benz Superdome. The teams didn't simply get into the red zone, they got into the Nike Red Zone. Every extra point or field goal was brought to you by Allstate.  The Premier League isn't much better. Until recently it was the Barclays Premier League (Barclays is a financial service company). All around the field they have video monitors constantly advertising for brands such as Nike, Adidas, Carlsberg, and New Balance. The jerseys players wear also have multiple advertisements. For Example West Ham have Betway (a gambling website) on their chest, Basset and Gold on their shoulders, and Umbro is the provider of all their jerseys includi

Yo, what's up guys, it's ya boi Kai coming at you again with another media blog. Today i'm gonna be talking about how both men and women could benefit from seeing more female protagonists. While watching Miss Representation , we see how a lot of women in new movies are one dimensional or simply used as sexual objects. Back in the days of black and white the women who starred in movies were multi dimensional, being a temptress, a caregiver, a lover, and so many other things. Today, women don't see themselves in movies as anything other than a clueless girl trying to fit in with the men, or as a sexual object. and it's the second one we need to worry about the most. When you go down a path of depression and anxiety, you blame yourself for everything that goes wrong, when, in fact, none of it is your fault. When women see themselves as sexual objects in the media, thats how they see themselves in real life. This self deprecation is harmful and could lead the young wom

Yo, what's up guys, it's Kai coming at you with a brand new media blog. Today i'm gonna show you how memes are taking over the world one person at a time. We all know that memes are a huge part of our culture, especially as high schoolers, and as well as making us laugh, the also portray many different world views. The "OK Boomer" meme was a perfect example of this. The young people of America felt that the boomers belittled everything that they did simply because they were young, and thus the OK Boomer meme was formed. Through this they showed the American people that just because they're young, doesn't mean they don't have a voice. Currently we are all making memes and tik toks about WW3 and just making fun of the whole situation. In actuality, its simply a two nation conflict between the USA and Iran. The only way this would turn into WW3 is if many other countries from around the world  join in as well. This won't happen. You know why it won&#

Yo, what's up guys, it's Kai, coming at you again with another media blog. This week I'm gonna be talking about how both college and NFL football is just one big advertisement for the military. This weekend while watching the Titans play the Patriots, there was a section talking about how one of the Titans' coaches was a veteran. Then I thought back to the beginning of the game where the military members held out the flag, then again to when they had the planes fly over Gillette Stadium. There are two college football games every year that are the only games played on a specific day. The one that anyone, even if they don't watch the sport, knows that the national championship is the only game played on that day. The only other game that's like that: The Army vs. Navy game.This game is probably the only mainstream college football game that is played pretty much how it was played a hundred years ago. The ground game and running the ball is how both of these tea
