This video is of a famous graffiti artist named Banksy. His Ethos is rather mysterious because, when he does these things. His face is usually blurred out when he does his works and keeps his real identity hidden. What do you think of Graffiti? Have you ever noticed it just walking down the street? What can be the purpose of this art or how is it perceived? If cave art was acceptable thousands of years ago to document history why does this art form just get taken down or covered up?

The biggest difference between violence in video games and tv / movies is that the violence in a game is controlled by the player. In the player’s mind, he or she is committing the act of violence. In a show or movie, the viewer is not a participant in the violence, they are a spectator. Who is the target audience for this ad? What message does the producer of this commercial want the viewer to get from this commercial? Do you think it is okay for companies to use celebrities or idols to help the influence of such games? Does the real-life situations and action in the commercial make buyers of the game feel more violent themselves?

When Beliebers Attack
http://www.eonline.com/news/justin_biebers_alleged_baby_mama_now/273194
I thought it was safe to say that Bieberfever was a thing of the past, but obviously not. A new age of "Beliebers" has begun, and they're showing no mercy. These mega fans seem to be out for blood in this article.
How do you feel about these extreme fans? What do you think about some of the tweets the fans have tweeted? Putting the threats of murder aside, should the entire situation be taken seriously or just as a joke, and why? Should hollywood fear mega fans such as these? Is there two ways to look at the entire situation?
