Week 3

 I'm pretty sure this week we were told to write about whatever we want instead of the scheduled blog subject. So today I plan on talking about posters. Oh how I love posters. They represent so much and are so important to the advertisement of things. Imagine a world without posters. I have about 1000 posters in my room. There are most likely 20000 of them spread out across the university. They help advertise upcoming events and causes. Posters range from jokes, plays, all types of music, comedy shows, causes, movements, company ads, and much more. We even have to make posters for our first project in this class! Imagine that. I feel society would lack if posters were gone. We would need some new type of communication like chalked sidewalks or digital marquis everywhere. The tree population in Brazil would prosper though. This brings me to my next point: recycling. I always throw out so much paper. The bins in the dorm hallways are not enough. I need one in my room because it gets mixed in with all of my other nasty garbage and I’m not digging through all of that. Looking at my garbage bin, I can see tons of paper stacked up ready to be pitched down the rubbish chute. What a shame. My next point: the word rubbish. I have never in my life heard an American utter the word rubbish to describe trash. I see no purpose in adopting sophisticated English terms for something as meaningless as garbage. Why not adopt words that actually mean something important like loo. I find loo more fun to say than restroom anyway. From experience, I know no resting is done in that smelly place.  My next point: constipation. I learned on the show Manswers that it can be fatal. Imagine that.

  1. Thanks for a great laugh, Adam.

    1,000 posters? Wow...you must really love them. But you are right, there are posters everywhere on this campus. My personal favorite are the ones that you see in the bathroom stalls. I just find it so funny--and yet effective, that the university puts them there.
