the article for this post is "and now a word from their cool college sponsor" by kate zernike. basically, this article tell of two highschool senior that graduate and pay for college by advertising themselves for a credit card company. the question in this article is who is taking advantage of whom. i think both sides are taking advantage of each other. from the side of the students, they paying for college by merely advertising for them. they get fame and "fortune" and get to talk about fiscal responsiblity. the credit card company gets a way to advertising even closer to the youth who "need" lost of stuff and have the "income" do buy said stuff. first, the credit card company is shelling out 80000 dollars for this. i'm suprise they're paying that much for advertising. at least it goes to a good cause. second, are the boys selling out? well, you have to ask them according to their morals and values. personally, i don't know that it would be right for myslef to be an advert even for that. but, i pay to be an advert by the shirts that i buy, etc. so, is what they are doing so horrible? what i advertise on my shirts, i can be proud of. i own five doctor who shirts, and you know what, i'm proud to advert for them. it's a quality show. the new show is very well made and is good tv. if they paid for to wear the shirt, then awesome. but a credit card company? i don't think i would. so, it all comes down to what it is that i'd be adverting. if it's something that i can be proud, then it's a mutal benefit and i wouldn't mind telling people about it. so, can these lads say that same?
