love at first sight: reality show
Our show, called "Love at First Sight" is a newly renovated reality dating series. It features an attractive blind bachelor searching for love out of a group of 10 women with varying in appearance and personality. Each week, the contestants compete for a romantic night out on the town with the bachelor. The competitions will be focused around the lives of blind people, and the challenges that they face. The lovely ladies will be staying in a mansion, and the sexy bachelor will be in the guest house, so there will be an opportunity for interactions. Based on these interactions and the dates, the single man will eliminate one of the females per week. To make things more interesting, the contestants will not know that the bachelor is blind until their first interaction.

celebrity scandal
In April 2007, actor Alec Baldwin left an angry voice message for his 11 year old daughter, Ireland. In the message he insulted not only her but her mother, Kim Basinger.
Click here for TMZ article and sound clip of the message.
Alec claimed that his ex wife had been trying as hard as possible to keep Ireland away from Alec, and this frustration led to the outburst. After hearing the outburst, a judge got rid of Alec's vistation rights, and knowing he was in the wrong, he obeyed and stayed away.

Free Credit Report.Com Commercial
1) What attention getting techniques are used?
The commercial is a song, so the main one is the song and the catchy lyrics. The emotions used are disappointment, regret and fun. It's disappointment and regret because the guy is talking about how he had to buy a piece of junk car because he had a bad credit report, and if he had gone to freecreditreport.com then he would have had a better car. Fun, because it's a catchy song and people are dancing and playing guitar in the back of the car.
2) What confidence-building techniques are used?
The guys in the car are smiling, and they're singing, which gives you a sense of comfort and you feel that they're friendly. The characters in the car are friend figures, and they're trying to advise you to go to freecreditreport.com so you don't make the same mistakes they did.
3) What desire stimulating techniques are used?
In this commercial, it is more shown what you don't want, rather than what you do want. They show the characters driving in a bad car, and getting laughed at by girls, so it makes you want to be in a different situation than the one they are in. The target audience is most likely young adults who are just starting out in the world, and are unaware of what to do about credits.
4) What urgency stressing techniques are used?
The commercial tells you that if you wait too long to go to freecreditreport.com, then you will end up with a bad car, or with a bad job, or in a bad home. It is saying that you need to act quickly to save your credit.
5) What response seeking techniques are used?
