„Many retail stores pride themselves on their wonderful sales, never realizing that the customers absolutely *hate* the sales because anything they might concieveably want is either sold out or reduced form $60 to $59.99. But at least the employees are cheerful, providing the coffeepot and Coke machine are still in working condition.“

„It was really interesting for us to do and for people to see us doing it. It also gave people a chance to see some of the clothes you can buy from these fair trade companies. Also a big issue in fair trade is businesses that make clothes today that aren't fair trade and do exploit their employees and so clothes also made an impression on the fact that it's clothes' labels today that need changing.“

BBC - Get Writing - - A2838288 - In the Sack
„Frustration turned to hate. Hate turned to violence.It always does.Then I met Suki.Deep, almond eyes, the longest darkest hair, skin the colour of mocca and the most perfect, petite figure you can imagine.I can't tell the guys. They all hate their women, use them as punch bags, leave them at home with the squealing kids for days on end, or get them out doing shitty jobs just to pay for the next round.I guess Suki has changed things for me. In the sack, race doesn’t matter.“

BBC - h2g2 - Advertising - U29187
„There are many theories as to why ads are placed in the most obtrusive locations of the communication flow.One theory states that ads, by surprising the viewer at unpredictable moments, catch them with their mental guards down, allowing the ad message easier passage into the viewer's mind and increasing the effectiveness of the advertising message.Another theory says that by cunningly placing ads right after a surprising revelation or some other occurance that raises a viewer's sense of anticipation, the advertising message will catch the viewer paying more attention, thereby increasing the effectiveness of the advertising message.A third theory, more cynical than the other two, points out that, as often as not, the ads are more interesting than the communication flow, and the viewer deserves a reward for making it that far. Because people, in general, usually like rewards, the ad evokes a good feeling in the viewer, and this good feeling gets associated with the product in the advertisement.It has been said that the only difference between a simple sign with the name of a product on it and a full blown print ad campaign is $20M, six months of client meetings, three weeks of allnighters, fourteen gallons of half-double-mocca-decaf, several cases of cigarettes, and too many out of control egos.It should also be noted that the best ads never actually make it to production because they are so clever as to ultimately make someone along the approval chain 1) jealous because they didn't think of the idea or 2) nervous because the idea is really that mind-boggling good. “
