Social play and more feedback

Ok so this weekend my roommate Katy had a bake-sale at the south Main trolley night. Of course she did all the work making cake vaginas, and peni (that's my plural of penis) and also chocolates of the two with cream filling. Which is awesome selling genitals on the street corner to begin with. The game, was to get others to come check it out. She manned the booth and Q and I walked a bit further up and would see if we could break the ice with groups of people by mentioning that we "just got some pussy at the corner" The trick was to see if being extremely "immature" would open up people to relax. Most would just ignore us except for when we were next to the table. Some people would almost look interested and would completely loosen up once we told them "this corner sells it for cheap." It was fun. I find it a lot easier telling a group of people that "you should really try the dark chocolate cock, the cream filling is to die for." than going up to just start conversation with a singled out person. Is it that i feel like i'd be cornering someone by approaching them directly? possibly.. i don't like to be cornered so i figure others wouldn't either. It's fun to just be more indirect then more direct once everyone is comfortable. What interested me was learning grace even when dealing with play. there seems to be certain ways to play and rules. I could play with everyone but what's the line that can be crossed where we become seen as crazy? And is that a bad thing? A person's personal space in our country is much larger than others so i know culture plays a major role in how open we are to strangers. But is that a good thing? If we were more open to play with one another would less crime be committed? These are all interesting questions that seem to point out possible improvements in life.

Ok i've always known i've had a sick sense of humor but that's just it. i know i'm joking. i know what's fake and what's real. This along with my topics of Consumerism and Advertising has led me to think more in depth about advertising that directly targets that sense of play in kids and possibly gives immoral ideas towards being who we are. Advertising should never be a reason to control culture. especially if it creates a false image of life. Who is a major culprit of this? Well it might just be an opinion but i'd have to say Disney. Look at who they promote as role models and why. Is Hannah Montana a major figure in the media because she is a thoughtful and considerate person? No. It's because she is appealing to young audience and can push a product. I used to watch the Lil Rascal's a lot when i went to my grandma's and i loved it. They were genuine and just did what kids do, get into trouble out of curiosity. There wasn't product placement, and the director only chose his rascals because they weren't famous already, they were real. Shirley Temple even tried being one but she was refused the part. There are still those who push entertainment for a greater purpose than just money, but they generally aren't the ones who get seen the most. It's up to consumers to decide what we consume, for what we use, makes the most money and therefore gets more powerful.
