I think his point was, we get the celebrities we deserve. (Sort of like the gov't we deserve.)<br /><br />As for sexual msgs, I know. VS commercials are game changers. We didn't have that as kids. <br /><br />In other news, have you seen the hilarious Old Spice ad? Good stuff~ :DLTMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05239077455322030275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8702219714438420151.post-72627360339492525652010-04-23T16:44:38.144-04:002010-04-23T16:44:38.144-04:00WAIT, JRM, you dissin' LOST????

Yes, she wanted to be like the women she was seeing in commercials, videos, etc. as we surf the channels.Ex-pat Odessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03657864512970771221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8702219714438420151.post-33728417164148407872010-04-22T22:51:25.321-04:002010-04-22T22:51:25.321-04:00Pam--I know!

Only, I'd already guessed he was on the other team, so I knew it wasn't my sex he wanted...<br />JRM--there was clearly not a show choir/glee club at *your* HS... LOL!!! And I'm not sure it's a show about sexualization of teens. Only like three are sexually active. But your comment is super-interesting. I'll have to think about this.

What she has been, and is not any more, is a symbol of worldly illness. Madonna's message has always been a warning: The punishment for misogyny is a beautiful, charismatic, powerful, angry woman. Punishment and cure are not the same.<br /><br />As you know, I think Glee is similarly a symbol of worldly illness. Sexualization of teenagers for voyeuristic titillation is horrifically cynical. I enjoyed the stage-show performances in the Madonna episode, but I still think a show like Glee registers punishment for our culture's schizophrenia regarding homosexuality. "Here you go, Christian Right---you don't like gay marriage? Here are a bunch of sexually active, partially gay teens. AND WE ARE RECRUITING!"<br /><br />I'm not offended by the gayness as much as by the cynicism that underlies the production of the show. As opposed to, for example, a true television show about ideas, like L O S T.JRichardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15650828006630115048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8702219714438420151.post-14028528767508343922010-04-22T21:53:21.848-04:002010-04-22T21:53:21.848-04:00Well said LTM!
