"HUMMER BUMMER!"

Just recently gas prices have skyrocketed and that therefore, leaves many people unhappy with the money that they have to invest in gas just to get around. In early 2006, many people loved the new big body HUMMERs and trucks because they looked cool and was fun to drive. But now many are looking away from the bigger vehicles like Hummers and looking more towards more economical choices that are better.
This therefore, leaves General Motors in a bad position because not only are they losing money because these vehicles are not being sold like they use to, its now starting to become more of a liability than bringing in great revenue. So now there is a great big discussion about GM possibly wanting to get out of the Hummer business.

This definitely affects Advertising in a huge way because, now the advertisers for Hummer has to be very careful and clever as to how they will sale this vehicle so that their company does not lose much of their market shares. In return, makes the job a lot easier for Advertisers that are promoting more full efficient vehicles like Hondas, Hyundais, and Ford Focuses. Moreover, this now put advertising and marketing to the front of their to do list and for others it will be a piece of cake to sale a competing brand against GM. Especially if they do not produce a more fuel-efficient vehicle or gas prices continue to increase.

Straight 80's (The Cool Kids)

The Gold Chains, Nylon Jackets and Beepers just might be back on the rise as for this new young up and coming Rap Group from Chicago is definitely making it Cool once again. The Cool Kids was once your typical college students that surf the net, loved music and have a drive to be rich and successful in the near future. For this rap duo Mickey Rocks (born Antoine Reed) and Chuck Inglish (or Evan Ingersoll) met in 2005 after Mickey came across some of Chuck's beats online and liked what he heard.

After getting in contact with Chuck, Mickey went to Chi-town with the intention of making beats to sell to other artists. Immediately the two fused together and realized that they had the talent to not only produce beats but rap on them as well. In 2007, though they had yet to release any material outside of what was posted on their MySpace site or MP3 blogs, the group started receiving a lot of press attention from fellow-Chicagoans.

This led to a spot at New York's CMJ Music Marathon, where they shared a showcase with DJ A-Trak -- who offered to put out their EP --and they began to open up concerts for M.I.A. on her solo tour. Which led to them being signed to Chocolate Industries, where they released their debut, The Bake Sale EP, in January 2008, with major plans in the near future. You might have also seen this rap duo in the Zune ads on TV as well so be sure to look out for them because they are definitely on the rise and about to bring back a fresh old skool, new skool feel to the Hip-Hop game once again!

Barack Thanks "Senator Clinton"

Could it be that Hillary finally gave up and realized that she had no chance at all when trying to go against Barack Obama. Man this really shows a great side of the Obama Campaign as they display Hillary Clinton on their Website Homepage, saying Thank You Senator Clinton with a tab for people to click on that says Show your Support. Not only was this a hilarious moment for most of us but, It definitely was an eye opener to most. Simply because politics is definitely known for using dirty tactics when trying to take out an opponent in the same race. But in this case Barack Obama clearly shows how humble he can be and will be if selected for the US Presidency.

I really find it amazing that although Hillary gave Barack such a hard time and really tried to stop him from beating her in the race that Obama is still graceful enough to actually be able to be nice enough to say Thank You to Mrs. Clinton. Although this did not come easy as for many of us I think it is great to know that Hillary has dropped out of the race for the Democratic Party and finally realized she should've been ENDORSINGthe Barack Campaign from the start! It really shows you that this Brother is bad and got his stuff together and will not allow an egotistical 8yr old first Lady bash him without intellectually telling her off and making her fill dumb at the end of his statements.
In other words Barack Obama is saying "I'm Rick James B*!T#!" and moving closer to winning the title of the U.S. President and the honor of becoming the first Black President of the United States of America!
