This is another article that seems like a waste of space in my opinion:
http://www.cnn.com/2002/SHOWBIZ/TV/10/29/television.women.reut/index.html
HOLLYWOOD, California (Reuters) -- The National Organization for Women decried the six major networks as catering to an "adolescent boy's fantasy world" in its third annual report on how women are portrayed on prime-time TV, Variety reports.
Am I missing something? Is there something wrong with selling what sells? Sex
Network programming sends a distorted, often offensive image of women, girls and people of color brought to you through the point-of-view of white men and boys," said NOW Foundation president Kim Gandy. "Television remains very much a man's world, with women serving primarily as eye candy."
Ok, this is just BS. You want to talk about offensive, lets look at some shows. Anyone ever watch "Titus". Now that was just degrading to me. I am a male, and the main charectors in the movie, titus, and his bro more or less, were just idiots most of the time. Oh look, thats not the only show eaither. Take a look at the simpsons, I mean Homer is just a fool(but the best charector ever) along with with all the other males, Im mean, just look at all the male simpsons.
As a result, I am going to get together and complain about how all males are the same in every movie. They are made to look like idiots to get laughs. Oh and dont forget friends(I saw threee edisodes about 2 months ago), talk about a bunch of idiots also. I mean, Im suprised any of them could even hold a job.
What am I getting at? The fact that it sells. People like it. I mean, is there anyway people can ever be happy with whats on TV. Also, it is no different for guys eaither.
They say "female characters presented fell into the "Jennifer Aniston" standard of beauty"
And what, tv is full of ugly men? They should really learn what sells, and that the TV world is just a buisness.
Ok, I gotta go to class, adios
