Gender roles and pornography
In Jane Caputi's writing "The Pornography of Everyday Life", pop culture alters society's personal perceptions through a repetitive propaganda. The two following clips show how many programs use these pre-concieved stereotypes that people relate to that in turn are funny and comical to, lets say, lighten the blow. These images are a sad side of America that isn't accuratly portrayed to other countries and even people in our own country. It also shows how easily sex sells and appeals to the masses.
The first clip is from Family guy. Here, the main characters, Quaigmire, Peter, Clevland, and Joe go to a local porn shop. They reference to the adult dolls about how quaigmire purposely hurts and incapacitates woman in order to use them sexually. Peter also uses a penny machine that from first glance seems like an old dirty film, but happens to be a woman voting from back in the day. Peter still thinks that it is "naughty" that the woman is voting to start with.
The second clip is from the recent popular movie Borat where he visits a veteren group of feminists. Keeping in mind that to these women, Borat is traveling from "North Russia" to learn about american culture that he can bring back to his country to benefit from. The clip is extremely self explanitory, but it does relate very well to Caputi's writing.
