Survey!

[Que-Ever]

Guys, I need you help- I need at least sixteen people to fill out this survey for me. I basically wrote it, it's for english class. However, to take it you have to be american, as in USA resident, because the project is on American Culture. Most of the questions are about TV, because the second half of the project I have to watch TV and try to figure out what american culture is from that (bleck) and I wanted to keep it consistent. I need these done by today, please please please.

[The Monkey]

Define American.

 

[Mr Stabby]

American culture has taken over Europe

 

[Que-Ever]

Didn't I say USA? I meant to. USA-ian american.

 

[The Monkey]

Does that include just citizens or all residents? If the former, does it include people with a turist visa?

Also, does it include citizens of Puerto Rico and other unincorporated territories?

 

[Que-Ever]

Or you could just lie and say you were american even if you weren't and I wouldn't care.

Any artistically creative commercial, especially if they have a lot of cg elements. I actually enjoy a lot of commercials. Ive never consciously been persuaded to buy a product based on a commercial, but I gather that most commercials arn't designed to effect your conscious thought.



EDIT: I think it needs some clarification. I dont even have basic cable for tv. Most of my "TV" viewing comes from either the internet, or from watching at a friends place. Yes, that means I do go out of my way to watch commercials on the internet :thumbs:
