Week 8: The Polls

There was an interesting video about what words you associate with each of the upcoming candidates that are running for president on yahoo today.



I thought that it was interested and how they ran through the different words and figured out which words you thought about first when you saw a picture and how you reacted. It seemed to me to be one of those things that catches your attention, something quick and eye popping that companies try to find out from the very beginning to catch your eye so you buy their product.

I think this video brings up something new as well. I don't ever remember candidates going after so many ads and thinking about new places to post them. There is a good article here about an ad that is displayed in a video game. There is also an ad here as well. I think that this is huge, especially trying to get the attention of the youth maybe not as big as rock the vote but something that they can see and think about as they are relaxing playing against their friends. I don't know what this will do for the future, but I am sure that there will be a place where it will need to stop, until that place is found I am going to be sitting and waiting.
