Editor's Notes

  1. Liz, is that math about right for the guestimate of how many I watched? Yes, you probably have 1500 saved and you likely watched/ saw twice as many as you saved
  2. Image of woman passenger – tagline men drive cars
  3. Men in cellphone commercial
  4. Pls put image of Ty Burrel here—in the Minute Maid (tropicana ads) For next slide take one of the paper towel ads– Viva, with the TV guy,
  5. Put in text – number insteadof letter 1. woman is the lead 2 she is talking. 3 she is acting 4 she is not serving others
