Thurs. Jan 31

Freud and his idea of the unconscious. Repressed Sexual Desires. I think that one of the weirdest things that Freud and Lacan did was to destroy all of their files. Why would anyone want to work their whole lives towards something and then destroy all of their work? Why even research if no one will ever reap the benefits? I would like to know their reasonings this action. It makes absolutely no sense to me.

I actually had asked someone a few weeks ago if Madonna's real name was Madonna. I personally am not a fan of Madonna. I think that, while she may be an excellent entertainer, she is very unattractive and at times inappropriate. But I will give her that she is a good entertainer. I enjoyed watching her music video, and I appreciated it more that she did it after a German film. At least it was like many of today's music videos: People being hooches and dancing all over each other. And that is it. That is the video.

In the chapter, I enjoy the image of the frying pan on page 211. It's very different, and it makes one think about what the ad is really about. You have to read the smaller text, which proves that it is a great ad. You WANT to know more about what is going on. So you look. The person who created this ad did an incredible job.

The ad on page 215 is dumb; No Body is Perfect. If that is the theme that they want to go with, then why do they show a perfect body? I hate ads like this. If they wanted to show that no body is perfect, they should have chosen a fat girl.
