The story of Chief Cornstalk
Chief Cornstalk was an Indian chief who lived in the Point Pleasant area in the 1700s. One day, the chief decided to make peace with the white soldiers. But when he went to their fort with a peace party, the soldiers put him in prison. While Chief Cornstalk was in prison, Indians killed a white man somewhere near the fort. Chief Cornstalk didn't have anything to do with the murder, but shocked and angry soldiers entered the prison and killed him.
As he was dying, the Chief put a 200-year curse on Point Pleasant.
Chief Cornstalk died in 1777, and for two hundred years, it seemed like Point Pleasant really was cursed. Tragedy after tragedy hit the area until 1978 — the year that the curse ended. Some of the tragedies were the result of natural disasters like floods and tornadoes. There were also fires and explosions and terrible accidents. So when the Mothman appeared and Silver Bridge collapsed, some terrified people believed it was part of the curse. Was the Mothman part of the curse? Did it cause the collapse or did it come to warn people about it? One thing is certain — the fascinating legend of Chief Cornstalk and the Mothman mystery will live on for generations.

TV Commercial... by Carlos Jiménez

This is a funny TV commercial about a Spanish gas company where a man cannot have a shower because there's no hot water. He decides to go to the phone box and he calls the gas company to join them. I think it's a really inspiring commercial and the music is really funny and I like it.

Tv Commercial .. By Esther Rodriguez

In this commercial there is a man that hasn´t got any heating, so he is very cold and all his house is freezing, even his phone. He says he is in the Ice Age. I like it because it is very funny and original and I like the music. We say that we are also in the Ice Age when we are in our class in winter and we remember this commercial!

TV Comercial - By Pocho

This TV comercial advert a most popular beer in Spain and shows two mans dancing. This mans can dance on ceiling and on the wall so, I think that this spot is very shoking. This spot reports that if you drink this beer, you will be the lightest person, so this spot is very original and very genuine but it´s a lie.

This commercial reports a well-known brand of chocolate called Ferrero Rocher. This commercial was shot in a Spanish city called Córdoba, and we can see beautiful landscapes, streets in Córdoba, big festivals starred by the Spanish actress Paloma. I have chosen this commercial because I love its music and what it represents.

TV Commercial...by Triz

This commercial reports a pregnant woman who is about to bear a child and on the other hand the oldest man in Spain who is visiting her at the hospital. The man tells us that we have to live our lives intensely. I think this advertisement is exciting, interesting and optimistic (upbeat).
