Disturbing Ad
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EB7dZeWs--s
this is a very disturbing ad used by Volkswagen. its apparently a new model car being advertised and they used the idea of a suicide bomber for whatever reason. i personally do not understand the use of it. its clear what the advertisers were trying to do before hand. the man driving up and stopping in front of an outdoor cafe, obviously to attract attention to the new Volkswagen and to show that its a tough car no matter the size but once he clicks that device shows that he is about to bomb himself, the commercial immediately becomes controversial and disturbing to me. especially for the fact that what the world is going through right now, between the war in Iraq and the multiple suicide attacks in the Middle East.

2001: Space Odyssey
In 1968, Stanley Kubrick's classic, "2001: A Space Odyssey," it is quite easy to determine the relationship between technology and violence. One of the gorillas woke up to something out of the ordinary and started calling out to the other gorillas for them to look. In the video clip, its looks as if it is some sort of pillar in their territory. They are all surrounding it and just staring at it, looks to me like they are almost admiring the pillar.
You can look at this scene as a new form of technology that hit the streets and all of a sudden it is an uproar to the people. The constant television adds or magazine adds trying to promote this new scene of technology. Also at the end of the clip, it shows the gorilla breaking the bone structure of the animal that was left behind when it died. I look at it in a technology way of saying "Out with the Old and In with the New."
