SuPeR sIzE mE!:
i think the main argument on this topic is that mcdonalds is a place ot get fat and the leaders of our countries dont like the look of soo many fat people around...mcdonalds has made an effort to make people eat more healthy by putting salads and sandwhichs on their meus.when the issue of two girls sueing mcdonalds was aired on tv he saw the idea and decided to try a film about it. mcdonals just makes your colestorole to high and makes you buold weight little by little.Macas who saw the death of one of its employes.On April 19, the chief executive of McDonald's, James Cantalupo, died of a heart attack, it makes us think what it really can do to your body.

Mcdonals said they wouldnt do the supersize program anymore.
and it was announced recently that a celeb trainer Bob Greene was goin on a crosscountry biking and walking trip during which he will stop at McDonald's to talk to people about healthy living and research the company's Go Active! Happy Meal, which includes a salad.

michael Moore:
1.Michael moores new film shows the truth but with a twist to it at the same time and that is what he does to many of his films.however he doesnt know what it is like to be in the presidents shoes so he wouldnt have a clue of the pressures and problems they have to deal with. the points of views from moore are ridiculous, saying bush knew about the 9/11 attacks and that he might have had a part in the attacks.I am happy that i made this film" he says "so that i can exposed the liars that are up that ruining our country. This film has also won the Palme D award at the Canes film festivle. in my opinion because i have not seen this film but i have seen some of his other films like bowling for columbine and i think he hits the nail on the head when he strikes at the problems of our countries.

MICRONATIONS:
1.
a)a micronation is a small part of a nation that wants to become independent.
b)people create micronations becuase of rivalries and arguments between diplomats and government and so they break off into little micronations and become independant.
c)the common characteristics they have is that all the eccentric people who make these micronations have all interests and perspectives in common.they all are trying to build a social and political structure to live by.
2.
Alphistiathis is a good example of a micronation and the way this person talks about it, it seems like her life and what she lives by.
it seems that all people that are involved in these micronations are soo involved and very serious about it.
3.no i cannot find any micronations in australia...
4.issues that that exist in nations are that people dont like being told what to do and the government tell people to do stupid things like vote and you have to stay in school or you will get fined or something....

FILM REVIEWS:
REVIEW 1(Positive):
this review on '50 first dates' starred 'drew barrimore' and 'adam sandler' and the review is written by BrianOrndorf and from his point of view he sees the movie as an enlightning experience and he highly liked the smash hit film. this reviewer by reading what he has to say obviously is a fan of Adam and drew's.
i think he has nailed it on the head because i also enjoyed it when i saw it.
REVIEW 2(Negative)
this review was done by Dalawsta and there review on the 99 minute film '50 first dates' is that sandler was a lame character and the film was pretty dodgy but he says it did have its good moments. he grades adam's character very poorly but the film manages to get a 3/5 rating from the reviewer.
he thought that doug (drew's characters brother) was much funnier than adam due to his foney lisp and his drug popping daily ruitine and pumping iron to comprehend for his lack of height. he thinks drew did a good job and he took a liking to some scenes in the movie eg. at the instituition meeting 'ten second tom'.

BLOG TASK 4:
the medium of the MASS-AGE i think means the millions of people only starting to convert to everything electrical and it is the middle of that age soo it is not yet finished growing as yet.
one of marshall mcluhan's quotes or nicknames was 'the oracle of the electric age and i would imagine that was true because he was known as the guru of the media culture.
i found all my stuff from mcluhan site 1
and site 2
the hypertext theory works while u are writing and u want to be connected to a another site it creates a hyper link so you can click on it and find out more about the site or what is in the link.
alot of people like to use hypoerlinks because you can be posted on a poplular site so people will be intrigued on what your site is like aswell.
hypertext information
michael joyce story
i think the story is quite creative and it shows what she is feeling and the story is written on a book writer by the name of peter and the using the hypoer link reduces the amount of writing on each page. so it hypoerlinks to each page like you would do likwe flicking through a real book.

BLOG TASK 3:
people use blogs for many different reasons such as this example of the war in afganistan and the problems goin on over there afganistan link
or such as this blog that the owner posts it thought bouts the music they like and how they rate it and i also noticed she went to a bit of trouble for this blog because she has lots of colours and images.music blog

BLOG TASK 2
Blogs on the internet have become so Immensely used by millions throughout all countries in and around australia.
so many people take a shy liking to the blog sites because they are quick and easy to make and maintain with very little hard work. u can type what you are feelings or for instince i am doing a blog for class and it is so easy to just type in what you want and then u have your first entry. blogging i have just found out is another way of communicating but like in email forms instead of chat rooms and i would imagine alot safer too. Alot of teens like the internet and especially the teen girls stats show they keep online diary's more so than teen guys.
i quote "The "blogosphere" will number ten million souls by the end of 2004, but almost all of them will be dead" from site
web log statistics.
says Perseus finds that the fad is most popular amongst teenage girls. More than half of the weblogs surveyed are run by teenagers and 91.1 per cent are under 30.
