Ab Circle Pro
My store sells this at work and when I'm forced to work the registers I stare at this picture. It's weird to me I know they photoshoped it, her stomach is just too skinny for her boobs and from the angle I look at it at work her arms look stretched out to me. Weird

Fanta Slideshow
It is a little fast and hard to get my point without me narrating.
Fanta markets to teens through the web and phone application (Smart Phone ringtones). They market their site more like a band page than an actual product with bios, music videos, a contest to be the next "star"/spokesperson and downloads.
They also market forcefully to mom's with teens/kids by promoting "healthy" less sugar alternatives. The normal product contains 44 grams of sugar, second only to Mountain Dew, so even the alternative it is far from good.
The product is marketed mostly to teens, males, with a middle income family who is African African or part of the "other" heritage.
Since most of the marketing is online, such as their "mosquito" teen only ringtones, it is best to counter this with online blogs, twitter or facebook promoting healthy alternatives.

The New Literacy
...from neatorama.com
New technologies are often blamed for the “dumbing-down” of new generations, but it’s hard to see that any generation is “dumber” than the one before it in a historical context. Professor Andrea Lunsford of Stanford University studied college student’s writing and how it changed from 2002 to 2006.
The first thing she found is that young people today write far more than any generation before them. That’s because so much socializing takes place online, and it almost always involves text. Of all the writing that the Stanford students did, a stunning 38 percent of it took place out of the classroom—life writing, as Lunsford calls it. Those Twitter updates and lists of 25 things about yourself add up.
It’s almost hard to remember how big a paradigm shift this is. Before the Internet came along, most Americans never wrote anything, ever, that wasn’t a school assignment. Unless they got a job that required producing text (like in law, advertising, or media), they’d leave school and virtually never construct a paragraph again.
On the one hand, you may look at YouTube comments and chat rooms and think literacy is going into the dumpster. On the other hand, those are millions of people who would otherwise never communicate a thought in public if the internet were not available to them. Writer Clive Thompson says the new technology has changed the meaning of writing for younger people.
The fact that students today almost always write for an audience (something virtually no one in my generation did) gives them a different sense of what constitutes good writing. In interviews, they defined good prose as something that had an effect on the world. For them, writing is about persuading and organizing and debating, even if it’s over something as quotidian as what movie to go see.
Of course, not every young internet commenter will go on to be a Stanford student. Do you see the internet as an aid or a hindrance to literacy. wired.com article
