Jason Na, Blog Group #2, Primary Source Summary

Doritos Ad

“Click,” an over-weighted man had fastened the safety belt. He got his Nacho Cheese Doritos out from between his back and a backpack. He crunches one in his mouth, looks at the scenery, and puts his Doritos bag in the crack. Then, he turned the radio on to enjoy the moment of Super Bowl and Doritos.
While he is drinking a sip of water, he looks down from 100 feet above. “Oops,” the pin is not stuck to the crack and it is starting to fall out. The belt got pulled out, but he fortunately grabbed the rock between the cracks. He then just can’t give up his Doritos and is reaching for the bag with his fingers. Foolishly, he chose to fall down but with his Doritos. He finishes the chips and sucks all his fingers one by one from the pinky to thumb. “Ahhhh!”
“Boom,” it was a dream. He got up all screaming and sweating on his bed. He was relieved and right after realizing that he is not dead and it was just a dream, he immediately looks for his Doritos next to his bed.
He made sure his Doritos was okay and had another one. ‘A chip lovers dream’


V-Guard Ad

It is an Indian commercial that took place in a bedroom. An attractive woman is sitting down on a bed and a funny looking man is looking at her. She is wearing a beautiful, red dress that Indians usually wear with traditional make ups and jewelries, and he seems to be fantasized by her. He gets close to her while she is facing against him showing her naked back. As she turned around, a man’s arm slipped from the closet. Then she faces and looks at him with big brown eyes with a smile on her face.
He then was startled by the fact that she slowly lied down and posed sexually. With a smile on the man’s face, he starts to get undressed. He took his scarf and shoes off, unbuttoned his top, and jumped towards the bed.
Suddenly, the music stops, lights go out and “Bam!” He hit his crotch on the bed pole, and painfully screams. Next day, the man and woman went to Shishu Adoption Agency. By the look of how he walked looks very painful between the legs.
On the last slid of the advertisement, it showed inverters, digital ups, and batteries from the V-GUARD.

  1. You have a good summary for the commercial used as the first source, you might want to include how that ties in to the class theme though.

    I like the second source. I think it's a good example of sexuality being portrayed through the media.

  2. You really did a good job on summarizing these two resources. I think that it may be a little difficult to develop much information that relates sexuality, but it is still a good resource. I prefer the second one because it is pretty straight forward. By watching how the man and woman act and communicate with each other, we can learn how to be attractive. It can make a deep impression on people.
