School Lunch
Has advertising gone too far?
It would seem that life has been based around advertisment and not the other way around nowadays. Advertising has become very powerful and it would seem that whereever you go there is no escape from it anymore.
When it comes to computer games, advertisment has slowly been creeping in over the past few years. The very first in game advertisement was seen in 1978 in a game called Adventureland. The advertisement itself was merely showing off the next game that was on the way by the maker of Adventureland itself.
Football games started to set a trend as with each addition of FIFA came a new set of advertisments. All kinds of games are seeing these “in game” advertisments now as the devlopers are moaning that the costs of games are rising so need the extra money. Splinter Cell even had a giant billboard advertisement that you couldn’t avoid seeing as you had to climb over it.
Something that has started to cause huge arguments is the envolvment of corportate companies advertising within schools. Is it just there to get a bit of extra business or is it slowly forcing children into buying in a specific brand for the rest of their lives?
The corporate world has managed to infiltrate the education system in a number of ways:
- Candy and chocolate manufacturers have begun printing branded educational posters.
- When the school lunch is served, brand name foods are sometimes given out with the name being plastered all over the food serving process.
- Advertisers have begun placing display ads and posters on school buses so that kids are now seeing these advertisements at the beginning and end of each school day.
- Recently even lessons have started to be sponsored by big corporate companies meaning that the kids have to learn about it. Is this really any different to what Hitler did to all of the German Schools during his dictatorship?
The advertising industry worldwide covers mediums such as print management solutions to branding design. sign printing are now even used for advertisements when a company is hosting or attending a certain event.
Healthy school lunch ideas!

Welcome Back, Kotter: The Complete First Season $9.73 Travel back to a time when sitcoms were recorded live on tape before a studio audience and dialogue was dominated by nonsensical catch phrases, like “Up your nose with a rubber hose!” and “Off my case, potato face!” The year was 1975. Saturday Night Fever had yet to make John Travolta a star, and stand-up comedian-turned-creator Gabe Kaplan had yet to become a late-night poker mainstay. Welcome to… |

Fame $3.99 This early effort by director Alan Parker is lively but jagged as it follows four students through their years in the New York City High School for the Performing Arts. Rather predictably, the kids fall into four clearly defined stereotypes: brazen, gay and hypersensitive, prickly, shy. It makes up for a disjointed presentation with a lot of heart and a great soundtrack (for which it won two Acade… |
