For my first blog entry, I wanted to do one of my own relating to our culture and society.
I found this picture while doing a research paper on childhood obesity. When I found this image I was very sad and heartbroken for these two children. This picture depicts McDonalds as being the primary source for these children's weight problems. Although this may not be an advertisment for a McDonald's campaign, I do believe it is advertising how McDonalds can affect one's health and weight gain especially if they eat it much too often. The two boys seem perfectly content with what they are eating and the boy in the hat is possibly pointing to another meal on the table suggesting that he is still hungry. Many find this image to be humorous, but I believe that it shows a scary reality that many Americans may have to face if they choose to feed their children fast food everyday.
I googled "situationist blog" & went to the page that came up in the search, & then went to the about page and found a link to an article about one man's fight to stop advertising agencies from marketing fast food to children because he argues that advertising is what leads to obesity.
