A partnership in generation, member FDIC.” It went something like that. The reason I think I remember it is because of the catchy jingle they’d sing. And to this day, whenever I think of banks, they are the first ones that come to mind. Another ad I remember is the Kit Kat commercials on TV. Just yesterday, I caught myself humming “Give me a break, Give me a break, break me off a piece of that Kit Kat Bar.” I also love how you can actually hear the “crunch” of the candy bar on TV, it makes me want to go to the store and grab one.

Nick Bonfiglio Honors Composition II February 9, 2010 Brooke Hessler Stephen Colbert The “Truthiness” of Comic Ingenuity Acclaimed satirist Stephen Colbert has become renowned for his revolutionary comedic style, as well as his amazing marketing techniques that have shot him to the top of the cable ratings within the few years his television show, The Colbert Report, has been in existence. Since 2005, The Colbert Report, a Daily Show spin-off, parodies the conventions of television news broadcasting, particularly cable-personality political talk shows like The O'Reilly Factor, The Glenn Beck Program and Scarborough Country. Colbert hosts the show in-character as a pompous right wing pundit, who in Colbert’s own words is described as a “well intentioned, poorly informed, high status idiot.” (Rabin) Unlike its parent program, the series focuses less on the day-to-day events, more so concentrating on the foibles of the host-character himself. The Report has been nominated for four Emmy Awards for three consecutive years, and has had made a significant cultural impact in the five years it has been on the air. (Lauria) In formulating his radical satirical presence, Colbert developed a unique set of mental processes worth studying for any individual seeking to self actualize themselves in their specialty.

Another example of how pop ups can be annoying, is when you get the pop ups that say you need to update your Adobe Flash, when you really don’t need to and it won’t let you close the pop up so you have to completely close out the internet
