\nBuy Me That!<\/p>\n<\/td>\n

This original program in a 3-video series is a best-seller and multi-award winner! Lively host Jim Fyfe pulls back the curtain on the tricks advertisers use in TV commercials — editing \u201conly the good parts,\u201d talking too fast, adding props that aren\u2019t included with the toy, animating toys to make them talk – and more! Each of the 10 segments stands alone or use the complete tape with parents, grandparents or teachers. (Copyright 1989) See lesson plan<\/a> incorporating Typhoon 2 toy ad)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\nBuy Me That, Three!<\/p>\n<\/td>\n

Buy Me That,3! is a collection of short segments focusing on the tricks and techniques used in food commercials. Includes a cola taste-test, what\u2019s really in sports drinks plus a humorous vignette on the ingredients that go into Twinkies. Segment with a food stylist who \u2018dresses\u2019 hamburgers for the camera could be used with older teens, too. Excellent resource for integrating media literacy in health or nutrition classes — from kindergarten through middle school.\u00a0\u00a0(Copyright 1993)
