There she be.

Final Proj

The viral campaign I decided to create dealt with the legalization of marijuana.  Recently a Denver husband killed his wife and had taken marijuana before her murder.  Nancy Grace, who is known for her debate show on television, went to twitter to express how she felt about the situation.  Nancy Grace tweeted multiple times putting all of her blame on marijuana which was taken by the husband before the murder.  Nancy Grace’s last tweet about the topic quotes “How many people must die before this stops?! #PotToBlame?”  After Nancy Grace was done blaming marijuana and not the real situation behind the cause of the murder, actor Seth Rogen took to twitter and replied to Nancy Grace.  Seth Rogen replied to Nancy Grace saying “@NancyGraceHLN you are a f***ing dumbass.”  After Seth Rogen replied to Nancy about her over-exaggeration about the dangers of marijuana, many people took to twitter and used Nancy’s #PotToBlame hash tag as a way to capitalize on her mistake.  Individuals would go to twitter using this hash tag to tweet harmless effects of marijuana.  Examples of this are where people would speak about enjoying a really good morning breakfast and then putting #PotToBlame in the tweet.

I got the idea for my topic after listening to a speaker at the lied center during greek week. He was talking about the lack of diversity that colleges have and how it's sad that it's still a problem. He also touched on the issue of racism that occurs often on campuses and how both of this problems needed to stop, and it was our job as the students to change it. I really wanted to contribute to the cause so I decided that this could be my way of spreading the message. Even though I know I won't reach a ton of people, I still got to show you all as my class and some of my friends as well. I decided to make a webpage that included a youtube video on the home page made by me and then three separate pages that explained my topic, gave my contact info, and provided a call to action.
