This is a brutally truthful piece about teen marketing. I know it is sad that companies use teens as walking billboards, but the seagull I wear on my chest, is a seagull that I like. I pay for my clothes with my own money and I don't care who else wears them.
The interviews in this pieces are interviews that I like alot, the guys from TRU are good in the piece and "the girl beside the clothing rack" is kinda funny.
As far as feeling like a sheep, I don't. Not in the slightest way do I feel like a sheep, but I think that this "teen marketing" is just the way the world works.
This piece on teen marketing is both insightful and informative. So many teens are oblivious to the influence of the marketing world, and Phenola Lawrence is determined to educate them. Great sound clips and interviews, however, considering the target audience, the script was spoken very slowly. Overall, this piece challenges marketing monsters through a creative form journalism.
