Analyzing the Story of the game Kingdom Hearts
1. The hero that seeks something. - Sora, he is searching for his friends Riku and Kairi, so that they could go back to their home that was taken from them.
2. The villain who hinders or is in competition with the hero. - Ansem, he is trying to explain that darkness is the only way and that there is no need for the light.
3. The donor that provides some kind of magic talisman that helps the hero. Sora was given the Keyblade by Ventus, (The Keyblade being a light based weapon that can save the hearts that were stolen from the darkness.) and his friends Donald and Goofy always give him things like the ability to cast fire.
4. The helper that aids the hero in his or her quest. - Donald and Goofy join Sora's adventure to find their King, Mickey.
5. The heroine/princess who acts as a reward for the hero and is the object of the villains schemes. - Kairi, Ansem stole her heart/soul to complete his own agenda. She is Sora's best friend (maybe more) and he wants to return home with her.
6. The dispatcher who sends the hero on his/her way by providing a message. - King Mickey wrote a letter to donald and goofy to find Sora and journey together.
7. The false hero who disrupts the hero's hope of reward by pressing false claims. - Riku, Sora's best friend ended up being manipulated into thinking that the only way to save Kairi and to get her heart back, is to fight Sora, take his Keyblade and work with the darkness... which he later realizes was wrong and that he was being manipulated, but by that time it was too late and his own heart was stolen and his body was taken over by Ansem.
8. The princess/heroine's father who acts to reward the hero for his efforts. - After defeating Ansem, Sora found King Mickey who is now reforming Riku and with the help of Sora. He was able to return Kairi back to the Islands (The Islands being Sora, Riku and Kairi's home that was also returned to them.)

Starsuckers notes
its blameing you the people for the reasons why celebrities
are abused, WE WANT TO SEE THEM.
1. Starting young
Most people are attracted to fame even if they deny it.
Motivation. Tv wants you to know that happiness lies in
fame.
Most teenage boys want to be famous ALMOST as much as they
would want to be smart.
Woman teens would far prefer to be famous than smarter.
Most parents would prefer their children to be famous.
2. Keeping you hooked
the makers of reality tv make the “real people” act, because
that makes the show more watchable.
Kids will promise to be big and buy their parents massive
houses when their rich… but imagine the weight and pressure on the when they
fail?
People want to be famous? 1 reason… people want attention…
but they don’t realize how much attention they will get.
3.Hard Wired Urges.
We the people are more leaned towards forming groups instead
of being alone.
Having a relation with someone famous – like having the same
birthday, is VERY potent in making a person want to relate to someone.
4. Gathering Information.
People that say that ‘these advertisments don’t affect me’,
actually affect them a lot! Because how
can you fight against something that you know nothing about? So they learn.
Most reporters nowadays will not actually go out and find out what is happening or check the facts or anything, they will just take calls from people that have stories and won't even check the facts. They will just pay a bit of money to the caller and go ahead and publish the possibly bullshit stories. without even bothering their asses to get the fuck up and go do their jobs by checking out with is wrong and what is right.
5. Creating news
PR - a lot of people would say that 'PR' stands for public relations... but even Professional PR guys would say that PR should be called PB - as for 'Pure Bullshit"
Using the phrase ' to spin a story' is the exact same as saying the phrase "making shit up".
Reporters for magazines don't care if the story is true or not because they know that people aren't looking for news, they are looking for a story... so if there are no stories, they make their own.
There was this woman that decided that she would tell a story about this famous rugby player that she used to date and talk about how shit he was in bed. Then later on while she was unconscious from drugs, her drug dealing supposedly took advantage of her. But when she went to the courts about it, they wouldn't take the case because she was known as the 'Kiss and tell girl'.
So when she decided to tell this story so that she could get money, it ended up biting her right in the ass.
The government employs celebrities because they want people to recognize them. Maybe so they would not hate the government anymore. Thinking that decisions are now made by 'proper people'.
Remember Arnold Swatsamaface?

Media Bias 3
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RpCJY_wiCF8
There is a video game named Portal 2 and in a VERY small section of this game, (An optional conversation lasting 5 seconds in a 20 Hour game), there is a robot saying that he has a "Lack of Parents". Then different robot named GLaDos, (The games main bad guy, that is meant to be ported as a cheeky bad guy) says "You are adopted, and that is terrible".
It was a joke that you heard in the game which was put there for the player to laugh and say, 'God, what a bitch!'.
However the media portrayed that the game itself is making fun of adopted children, then that the game is an attack on parents that have adopted children.

Media Bias 2
The media were saying that the game "Mass Effect" has sex in it and that you could "view the Porn". They even had a "So-Called Researcher" to come on and say that the game clearly shows that woman are objects.
But then there was a video game expert researcher to come on. He was explaining that although there is literally on 20-30 seconds of sex in the game, it is NOT seen. The most you see is a little side boob, if even that. That the game is entirely based around the players choices, and that in the game you can choose to play as a woman and you have all the equal choices that you would have had if you played as a man and that there is no sexism in the game because in the games story, humans have evolved past such idiotic ideas that we are unequal. Not to mention the fact that both the man and woman that you play in the game are very powerful people and would be treated with the highest respect in the story.
Then when the video game researcher asked the other "researcher" if she even played the game, she replied with a laugh and said "No!". See it all on Youtube. ---> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PKzF173GqTU

Media Bias
The media says that video game violence is the main reason for all the gun related deaths in the world.
HOWEVER, Japan is famous for having the most violent video games in the world, and yet, due to their gun laws, they have as few as 2 gun related homicides a year. --> http://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2012/07/a-land-without-guns-how-japan-has-virtually-eliminated-shooting-deaths/260189/
