The blog post that I decided to view was Ethan Hemer’s. The post that I viewed was the one in which we had to choose a celebrity and a certain advertisement that they had endorsed. Ethan Hemer decided to choose Chuck Norris and his endorsement of The Total Gym exercise product. Ethan talks about this product and about how easy it is to use. He says the main selling point is the fact that you don’t need all these extra devices and weights to get a good workout in, but instead you can use this one machine and change it to different angles to use the whole versatility of it. He then talks about how Chuck Norris is a great endorsement for this product because Chuck Norris is such a cool guy and inspiration to many people. Ethan also believes that Chuck Norris has done his job for endorsing the Total Gym exercise product and believes that it got the job done.
I would have to agree with everything that Ethan said. Chuck Norris is a prime example of someone who has worked out to achieve a great fitness level and if I’m going to take advice from anybody about working out, then Chuck Norris is who it’s going to be. Many people admire Chuck Norris for shows such as “Walker Texas Ranger”, and would love to learn the awesome karate moves and have the physical fitness that he has. When he says that a work out machine works and is a great product to invest in, then the public is going to trust his word.
I liked Ethan Hemer’s choice of Chuck Norris and the Total Gym exercise product. He describes the product very well and gives great reasons as to why people should trust Chuck Norris. Everyone loves Chuck Norris and knows how big of a BAMF he is.

The Obesity Epidemic
After doing all my research about obesity, I still feel that it needs to be a high priority for America and its people. The costs of obesity are more than just being an extra few pounds, but have turned into a huge financial cost and have been the cause of many early deaths. With around 300,000 obesity related deaths a year, I would think that people are now willing to do something about it. If there was ever a time to try and help then it’s now. The way to help this problem is by implementing an active exercise routine and healthier diet into middle and grade schools. Many people think that they can’t do anything to get these policies passed but the truth is, everyone can. Organizations like the Robert Woods Foundation and the ING group make it possible for anyone to give many and help with the obesity problem. These groups donate money and give schools initiative to implement more gym class and healthier menus.
When I attended middle school, we didn’t have any recess. Along with that, we only had gym class for a week every month. Luckily, I participated in sports outside of school, but I watched as many kids who didn’t work out or play sports just sat around all day and as I grew up with them, I could notice them put on more and more weight. This is a personal experience that comes to mind when I think about the problem America is facing. To help out, donate, or just to read up more on the different organizations that can help, go here or here. If a person isn’t interested in donating money then there are still ways to help. People just need to take control of what they can handle and that is their own health. People need to start getting active and eating healthier. By doing these things you can promote a healthier type of living.

Celebrity Endorsement
One endorsement that I have taken notice to when I watch the television is Jessica Simpson’s endorsement of Proactive. Proactive is a lotion that you can run on your skin to help prevent and clear away acne. Simpson has endorsed this product and talks about her own personal experience with the product. She talks about how at one time she had outbreaks all over her face that made her feel uncomfortable and self-conscious in her body. She tells about her story and how she came about finding Proactive. She supports that product in saying that it cleared up her skin and also, still helps her maintain her smooth clean skin today.
I believe that Jessica Simpson is an appropriate choice for a person who can endorse this product. She is a well-known name, and she has used that product so she has personal experience with it. I mean, it’s known that she has great skin and she attributes it to Proactive. Obviously, Jessica Simpson doesn’t know the “ins” and “outs” of Proactive and how it works, but she has seen the results and can testify for how well it works.
I think the endorsement will have the desired outcome that it is looking for. Jessica Simpson is a very popular figure who has had experience with the product. There are a ton of people out there, especially young girls, who look at Jessica Simpson and want to look the way she does. They would love to try the product if it is working for a Jessica Simpson and the results are clear. Simpson has a wide fan base and having her endorse this product will have a positive influence on Proactive.

BCS vs. Playoff System: College Football
The controversial topic that I have decided to write about is the discussion that has been taking place in college football for the past couple years. There is an argument over whether to keep the current Bowl Championship Series (BCS) system that decides the national champion or to get rid of that system and implement a playoff to crown the number one team in college football.
Those who are for the playoff system believe that the current BCS system doesn’t allow many of the top teams in the country the chance to play for the national championship. They believe that a team who might have had a rough start at the beginning of the year, but has won seven games in a row might be able to run through a playoff to show that they are the number one team in the country. They believe that the BCS doesn’t do justice for the majority of the teams around the country.
The article that argues for the BCS staying in place believes that it should because it allows for more excitement throughout the entire year. With the BCS, every single game counts and directly affects your season. As seen through many years, a single loss could hold a team out of the national championship game and just have two undefeated teams play together.
Being a college football player, I have my own opinion on this issue. I believe that the BCS should stay intact and continue to be the system that is used to determine the national champion and other bowl games. The importance of each game is heightened when one loss can ruin a season, and the excitement brews from this. Also, a playoff system would mean that there are more games and that the season would be longer and this is something that I definitely would not be in favor for. The season is long enough as it is and it takes its physical tolls on the people involved. Obviously, viewers might like it, but they aren’t the ones having to endure it.
