This letter is in response to Carly Hallam's piece about anti-male advertising. Having worked in the advertising industry for nearly a decade, I've got a possible paradigm shift for Ms. Hallam to consider. Imagine networks have been airing a female-centric show. The show appeals to stereotypical aspects of females. Women will watch this show. It allows them to satisfy their instinctual urges without fear of being judged. Now, after all these weeks, comes the finale of this show. Women around the nation gather, laughing and de-stressing all at once. Advertisers fill the show with inside jokes for those who have made the season a regular entertainment event.Women take a step back and chuckle at just how fun it can be to give in and admit that sometimes, you really like fulfilling the more silly of the stereotypical traits for which your gender is known.

I'm surprised that so few realize that there is already a easy way to get your WebMail account integrated with Google's Gmail. If you set up a Gmail account and then go into the settings, you can set Gmail to check many other mail services, including UF's WebMail. Gmail will check these other accounts, download their messages into your Gmail inbox and also allow you to send mail from any account that you have linked to Gmail. So instead of waiting for UF to make the switch to Gmail, you can make it happen for yourself in a matter of five minutes.
