...Bugs Bunny has and continues to be a standing favorite all, his popularity spans generations crossing over form one millennia to the next, he is iconically global and can be viewed in many languages in thousands of homes. True to form the creation of this character has spawned within our culture a love for such a character that he has become not only a welcomed spokes person but an undying legend whose roots can possibly be traced back hundreds of years he is everybody’s hero we laugh and cheer when he is victorious and are shocked and somewhat upset when he “loses.” Warner Bros., released his first cartoon over sixty years ago. Since “There have been over 150 Bugs Bunny cartoons, and all but about twelve are still shown rather frequently on television today. Bugs has had a more diverse and accomplished career than many Hollywood actors ever have, and some of the zaniest and funniest performances ever in film history. This did not happen overnight, by any means. Bugs Bunny's cartoons were directed over the years by such creative geniuses as Tex Avery, Chuck Jones, Friz Freleng, Bob Clampett, Robert McKimson, Frank Tashlin, and others, all of whom left their mark in film history with these animated films, and Bugs was only one of the dozens of classic creations these men worked with and created. Also not to be forgotten are the creators of the Warner cartoon soundtrack, Mel Blanc (the voice of Bugs) and musicians Carl Stalling, Milt Franklyn and William Lava” (Hunter). ...

...My day with Bugs Bunny If I could spend a day with any character or person, it would be a bunny. I would spend my day with Bugs Bunny from the cartoon Wabbit. In the series, the Looney Tunes return to their comedy roots. Each episode of Wabbit contains two shots, starring Bugs Bunny as the main character. We would hang out and probably meet some of his friends and enemies. Characters, like Wile E. Coyote and Yosemite Sam, show up to annoy him, Tasmanian Devil and Daffy Duck too. The main thing bunny does is end up in a fight against evil and plays a trickster. So I imagine the day would be pretty fun an anything could happen. I think fist off we would run into his biggest nemesis during hunting season Elmer Fudd. Elmer is a big hunter and bunny always messes with him. We would probably pull some trick on Elmer. With all of that happening we will probably meet Daffy. We will probably get into an argument like in the cartoon about whether it is rabbit season or duck season. In the cartoon bunny always wins by tricking Daffy into saying it was duck season. So bunny an I will just trick him and he will get shot like in the cartoon....

...Nike's "Just Do It" or "Bo Knows ___" etc.). Conversely, you can also cite examples of campaigns that were spectacularly failures, and tell us why they failed. In my opinion, one of the successful marketing campaigns was the Energizer battery, “Nothing Outlasts the Energizer. It Keeps Going, and Going, and Going…” It was accompanied with the cool bass drum beating pink bunny with shades. It had a great humor attach to it. Usually famous slogans are in a humorous and funny category. The Energizer commercial was produced by D.D.B. Chicago Advertising, originally began as a parody of TV advertisements for rival Duracell. The Energizer Bunny has appeared in many television commercials in U.S. The advertisements and slogan created lots of attraction in U.S. The Energizer Bunny does not appear in Europe or Australia. The Energizer Bunny was created 1989, and the Duracell bunny was created in 1973, “Duracell had a bunny advertising it's batteries in many parts of the world way before Energizer started making their commercials for the US market only. Energizer saw the fact that Duracell never trademarked the bunny to be used in the US, so they moved in.” Here is the link for Duracell commercial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VMVjyfT1srA And here is the link for Energizer commercial:...

...This is a story about a very unusual boy, and an even more unusual monkey. The boy was out of the ordinary as boys go, because he didn’t like chocolate. No, not at all. Not even one little bit. And I must say, I’ve never met a boy like that. Not in my entire life. And the monkey was unusual because he absolutely adored chocolate – this particular monkey went absolutely bananas for it – and as you may guess – very few monkeys are mad about chocolate, if only because, they’ve never even tasted it. The boy was called Jim. And the monkey was called Theodore, or Theo for short. One day, Jim’s Aunty Judith took him to the zoo. Jim’s mother had told her that Jim didn’t like chocolate, but she didn’t believe that. “Poor little thing,” she said to herself. “His mum won’t buy him chocolate because she’s too mean. But I’ll buy him a nice lovely bar and give it to him while we are out.” And that’s what she did. Only it was true. Jim really didn’t like chocolate. “Oh thanks Aunty Judith,” he said when she gave it to him. “That’s really kind of you. I’ll just save it for later, if you don’t mind.” But he did like seeing all the animals in the zoo. The prowling bears weren’t at all cuddly – but they were super cool all the same. The giraffes had lovely soft noses. The snakes in the snake house made Jim’s blood run cold – but he liked being scared really – just a bit. And the monkeys – well everyone loves monkeys. They looked silly but intelligent all at the same time. And in particular...

...Modern Day Tricksters Presentation Notes: Bugs Bunny The modern day trickster verses The Coyote in the mythical day trickster Since as far back as time was recorded there have been tales of people and mythological creatures playing "tricks" on others. Today many of these tricksters are seen as characters in cartoons and movies. Some of the most famous are Bugs Bunny, The Mask, Ace Ventura, Wile E. Coyote, and Captain Jack Sparrow. Bugs Bunny is the most famous of all tricksters still in popularity today. Almost all of his stories he is being chased by the notorious Elmer Fudd. Instead of Bugs always running from his pursuer, he likes to play tricks on him to keep himself from getting caught. Bugs Bunny is very resourceful when it comes to trying to escape. He made the quote "Ehh, what's up doc?" famous. His trickery has made himself possibly the most popular cartoon of all time. Why is Bugs so popular in society? It is because he always wins. Each and every show he outsmarts his competition and tricks them into failure. .

...I used to believe that love was a light switch. Something flicks on. You get an overwhelming sensation. It hits you like a bag of bricks. Or a strong arrow. When you know, you know. Right? Not so much. After 28 years, I don’t see love that way anymore. I’ve placed Cupid right next to Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny. Love is a series of choices. The first choice is based on many many factors, including chemistry, principle, logic, humor, intelligence, body type, where we are in our lives, what we want / need… the list goes on and on, and the weight of each factor varies depending on the individual. Based on these factors, we either choose to begin the process to love or not. If we decide to enter this process, the action of loving can bring “light switch” moments. The way he looks at you. How hard she make you laugh. The notes he hides in your purse. The way she makes you feel when you don’t feel anything. But like an airplane flight, there is turbulence. The fights. The disagreements. The little things that bother you. His socks. Her shopping. You start wondering if you’ve made the right choice. Once you are in doubt, you have to make another choice. To continue to fly with this person or jump out of the plane. This choice is based on a thousand other factors, again depending on the individual and where they are in their journey. If you decide to jump, the scary free fall will either make you stronger (grow) or miserable (depressed). But sooner or later, you’ll find...

...Before the written word, the printing press, computers, modems, the Internet and all other communication methods, people passed their beliefs, their history and their values from generation to generation through storytelling and oral tradition. Important aspects of every culture were documented in myths. Creation myths explained how a people came to be, giving them a spiritual/religious connection to a much larger universe filled with the unexplained. In addition, creation myths explained a culture’s origin, history, deities and heroes. Myths gave a culture a clear connection throughout the ages. These myths were passed on through generations to become an integral part of many cultures. Myths helped make order out of chaos, explained things in nature that could not be readily understood. Myths, frequently, expressed ideas and concepts that were common to all human beings. Questions about good and evil, life and death, fear and anxiety, heroes and heroic feats, punishment for breaking cultural values are present in every culture. The “why” of existence crosses cultural, racial and geographic challenges. These topics were the basis for many myths. The myths created to address these topics were frequently variations of the same or similar stories/oral traditions. Collectively, these universal themes or questions are referred to as universal myths. Myths existed before there was art and before the written word. The great mythic themes were known before literature. Myths existed...

It will be my first party and I want it to be spectacular. So I need to make a list of things to do. Before I know it March 28th will be here and I will have a houseful of supporters. So first things first, I sat down and immediately got to work on the guest list. Before I knew it I had 64 guests within a short time. As I was filling out the invitations I had realized that I didn’t have addresses for some. So I proceeded to go on the internet to my facebook account. I sent out invites to the few people that I didn’t have addresses for. Then all of a sudden I had remembered that I could post an event. So I did. As soon as I had it posted, guests were already accepting the invites. I felt amazing but very nervous at the same time. As I was putting the invitations in the mail, I was praying that I would have a great number of acceptances. I wanted to be able to show off my business at the party. So I started printing some material off of my website. I also had a video on how the products were made and designed. I was so proud of my creativeness. I had even taken an old bookcase that I had and painted it light grey. Being that Easter was around the corner, I decided to go with an Easter theme. I went to the Dollar Tree in town. I picked up the cutest Easter baskets. Then I thought that I could get some of the grass...

[4] If, I was a juror and I knew about this information then I would definite bring it to light, the fact that we create our own memories to make life more efficient. There are numerous ways that people forgot information without even realizing it. Elizabeth Loftus did studies on manufacturing memories to bring this topic to light because a lot of people were serving time in prison because of these types of memories. She did a study about people visiting Disney World and asks about what type of characters they meet. For example Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, and Bugs Bunny, Bugs Bunny is not a Disney character, there were a lot of people who remember touching and hugging Bugs Bunny at Disneyland, even thought we all know that this information is incorrect. I did more research on Loftus and it turns out that she herself had memories of finding her mother dead, when...
