S-A-U-C-Y

I've decided that I'm going to do my journal entry on an event that happened in my home last weekend. So there is this KFC commercial on T.v that features a man eating KFC with his family, all of a sudden he sings
''hhheeeeeeooo, we love it when we have these things, their KFC's new boneless wings they saucy *clap clap* they saucy *clap clap* S-A-U-C-Y and U-C-Y we eat them all the time they saucy *clap clap* they saucy *clap clap*''
and Yes I've memorized it. So what I'm trying to get at is my sister and I are happily watching t.v about two or three weeks ago and we end up loving the commerical, and she decides that she NEEDS to have the new boneless wings. I notice how advertising did that to her. That commerical MADE her want the new boneless wings even though we NEVER eat at KFC. So for two weeks she bugs my parents about going to KFC every night she asks if we can go, or if they can pick her up some wings, and this is no word of a lie, but every night they said no. Last weekend rolls around and we come home from school to see a 20 dollar bill on the counter and a note saying that we can go get some supper. right away she yells SA-U-C-Y haha, But I wanted Chinese so I waited in the car for her to get those boneless wings that she just HAD to have and after getting my chinese we head back home to eat. She eats the wings and doesn't like them at all *surprise surprise* and asks to have some of my chinese. which didn't happen haha, and I lectured her on how the media affects our decions in life. I thought that whole situation really tied in to how advertising does work and does affect our thinking and what we decide. I notice myself really starting to pay attention to what is going on around me in terms of advertising.
On another note, Our 1950's project is really coming along great. I have everything that I need and I'm glad that we are getting an extra day to do it. well thats it for me. have a good day! -Danielle
