'Usually the first thing people say when they get in is 'Wow! Sh*& ! damn!' They can't believe how big it is on the inside."
Susan Smith, a thirty-two-year-old computer programmer living in Toronto, is bragging about her Smart car.
The Mercedes-made, Daimer-Chrystler-distributed fuel efficient mini car looks no bigger than a Harley-Davidson cruiser. In fact, the Smart car is only eight feet long, five feet high, and weighs considerably less than a ton.
It's also cute enough to make the Volkswagen Beetle look comparatively overweight and bloated. The Smart car's visual appeal is due to its being designed by Swatch, the Swiss company that makes funky plastic watches. Like the Swatch watches, the Smart cars come in a range of non-traditional and fun colors; they are inexpensive; and they are flexible.
Anyone who has recently visited Paris, London, and other major European capitals will already be familiar with the tiny two-seaters that are short enough to be parallel parked -- head first to the curb. But the Smart car is not a glorified Vespa. As Susan Smith notes, the Smart car has more space inside than its exterior would suggest.
Terry Jones, a thirty-five-year-old salesman states, "I first noticed the Smart car in Europe. I saw one parked perpendicular to the curb in a spot designed for parallel parking. As a resident of Toronto, where parking is a nightmare, I said to myself 'I have got to get me one of those!'"
The appeals of the Smart car are self-evident: it's compact...
Media executives not journalists were in control at Fox and determined the on-air content. Demonstrating that no news is free from engineering by the production team, the documentary revealed that Republicans made up of 83% of the interview subjects on Fox, and only weaker liberal voices were asked as guests, to serve as punching bags rather than as advocates of an alternative point-of-view. As a final indignity, during the 2004
Media Bias A liberal society is perceived to have no existence without news media that facilitates dissemination of right information to the individuals with a view to make them aware of the pronouncements. At the moment the news media fails to deliver the truth it have distorts the perception of individuals.

Michael Moore so Controversial? Michael Moore was born in 1954 in Flint, Michigan -- "the home of the wealthiest corporation in the world: General Motors." (Roger and Me, 1989). The tragic plight of this once economically booming, blue-collar city is the basis for much of his filmmaking; and it is what formed the foundation for his particular outlook on the state of American society. The theme of corporate abuse and
TransCanada is fighting people that are worried more about aesthetics and ideals rather than benefits to the consumer (TransCanada, 2013). 3.2 The significance of organization to issue and vice versa (330 words) In the end, the issue that faces TransCanada is selling the pipeline to the public effectively enough, as well as to the populations that can green-light the project, so that the project goes forward and thus allowing TransCanada to
hero? And what has one got to do with the movies? The answer to that question - which is really the question of how the mass media influence popular perceptions of the heroic and the Hero - is a complex one as are any significant questions that examine the relationship between mass media and the culture that produces, absorbs, reflects and reifies them.

Enron could engage in their derivative trading strategy with no fear of government intervention because derivative trading was specifically exempted from government regulation. Due in part to a ruling by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission's (CFTC) chairwoman, Wendy Graham, derivatives remained free of regulatory oversight.
