Why do they walk like that..?

[TheLAMPnyc]

@juliajem32 Excellent question. Any other questions pop into your mind when you watch this ad? How about other ads?

1. THEY ALL HAVE NOSES, THEY ARE JUST QUITE SMALL.

2. EVERYTHING IS NOT ABOUT SHOPPING, IN THE TV SHOW THEY MAKE SURE THAT YOUNG CHILDREN UNDERSTAND GOOD GRADES ARE IMPORTANT AND YOU MUST NEVER STEAL AND ALWAYS WORK HARD FOR YOU'RE DREAMS.

3. CALM DOWN, MOST ADULTS DRINK COFFEE! I MEAN IT'S NOT ALCOHOL AND THEY ARE TRYING TO SHOW IT'S A CASUAL THING TO DO WHEN YOU MEET UP WITH FRIENDS.

4. THE DOG DOES NOT WEAR EYESHADOW.

5. WOULD A LITTLE KID WANT A FAT BRATZ DOLL? NO! :D

@BratzRForever Hey, thanks for your comment! Have you ever wondered why their noses are so small? Specifically, our student was just talking about this commercial. She wondered why was shopping the only thing shown that these dolls can do. Do you ever have questions about commercials you see? Yes, adults drink coffee, do you think these dolls are meant to resemble adults or young girls? Do you think 7 year olds should be drinking coffee? We really appreciate your comment. Always question.

@TheLAMPnyc WELL, I THINK THAT MGA MADE THEIR NOSES SMALL SO THAT THEY COULD BE UNIQUE ASWELL AS HAVING LARGE SQUINT EYES AND THICK LIPS. I THINK THAT THEY DO MORE THAN JUST SHOPPING, THERE ARE BRATZ DOLLS BASED ON SCHOOL ASWELL AS SPORTS AND OTHER ACTIVITIES. I BELIEVE BRATZ CAN RESEMBLE BOTH ADULTS AND TEENAGERS. AND NO, I DON'T THINK 7 YEAR OLD'S SHOULD BE DRINKING COFFE BUT EVEN IF THEY DO WANT TO BE LIKE THEIR BRAT DOLL THERE PARENTS WON'T LET THEM DRINK IT!

[TheLAMPnyc]

@BratzRForever Thanks again for commenting. In this commercial, do you see them doing much more than just shopping? Why do you think they're showing dolls for 7 year olds shopping? Why do you think they are showing dolls for 7 year olds drinking coffee? Do you think this makes the girls who get these dolls want to shop and drink coffee too?

Well yes it's obviously "silly" 2 put eyeshadow on a dog, but these are the only girls with a passion for fashion! They show Bratz shopping because that something Bratz like 2 do lol. The target demographic is tweens-teens. Because it's hip, it's cool, it's urban, it oozes Brattitude! They are breaking the mold and being ORIGINAL, not trying 2 b anything except themselves, whereas ur just another whiny student complaining about Bratz

@TheLAMPnyc oh ok thanks:)

@shyshy000 Do you have iMovie or Windows Media Maker on your computer? Those are great and easy to use programs. Then, all you need to do is download some content from any free, public video website (like YouTube) and have a go at it.

We encourage you to explore and always ask questions. Have fun!
