Baby Phat
One of my favorite designer labels is Baby Phat by Kimora Lee Simmons. Hence I decided to look it up on Wikipedia because I know so much about the subject. The web page seemed pretty accurate. It talked about how she was married to Russell Simmons and how Baby Phat is the sister company to her husband’s company Phat Farm. The information that is present is right but there are some statements made needed to be verified. For example, there was a statement that said something about the meaning of the sleek cat which is used as the symbol for Baby Phat. It said that the cat symbolized the Egyptian goddess Bast . Right next to the sentence that said this, there was a word that said that there was some citation needed for this statement. So when people read this, they knew that this statement still needs to be verified. I did not know that the cat was the symbol for the Egyptian goddess Bast. I also saw that the page missing some information. It did not seem to be very up to date at all. It did not have the fact that Kimora Lee Simmons the creator of Baby Phat had two children. It lacks the fact that the location of the Baby Phat headquarters is in California. From the looks of it, it doesn’t appear that this page has been tampered with much by vandals so far. Most of the information on there seems pretty accurate.

Viva La Viagra
I was watching the third installment of the God Father Saga on the AMC channel last night and as usual a slew of commercials came on. A very commercial came on. It showed a married couple during their daily routine and how each one greeted each other when they came home from their day jobs. The commercial showed how the man and the wife greeted each other the very same way each and every day. This was to show the fact that their lives were pretty boring and there was not much excitement at all. After showing that this couple did the same thing every day, it shows the man driving into the drive way of their suburban home in a new Harley Davidson bike. The woman is very surprised and drops her grocery. She quickly walks up to her husband and starts smiling with him. The commercial later shows the two of them riding together on the motorcycle on the open road. It turns out that this is a commercial for erectile dysfunction and Viagra is being promoted. I was really surprised because I would have never thought that this was going to be a commercial for guys who have trouble” flying their flag”. When I think about it, this commercial is marketed to not just men but both men and women. You have the men who feel incompetent because they can’t “put on a good show “in the bed. This is also for the women who have to put up with men who can not perform and meet their needs. The happy wife is supposed to appeal to the female population with the men who have the problem. At the end of the commercial, you see that the couple riding on the motorcycle has stopped at a motel to “dance the tango” after their little excursion. The Viagra Company comes up with some really quirky ideas.
