Ohk Soo...

I enjoyed these readings. I often feel like some shows put black characters in shows just to say they were in there and/or to make the show seem funnier. Although Im not a fan of The Simpsons, I will admit that I watch Family Guy. Sometimes, I feel like they go over board. Shows like Family Guy and The Boondocks, create so many stereotypes. With our closed minded society it's vert important to not get caught up into catagorizing everyone into one mold, based off of the perception of a character from a TELEVISION show. I think people get confused in seperating reality from fiction. It's a shame. One episode of Family Guy, had peter acting like a ghetto secratary. He had long purple nails, spoke ghetto, and kept putting people on hold. At some point its like ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. Sometimes these "comical" shows can be very insulting and damaging to certain races.

I watch MTV a lot. I never liked Next, Date My Mom, or Roomradiers. But I do find myself making sure I can watch my favorite shows! lol. I agree 100 percent that Next degrades women to the fulliest. Young girls are being portrayed as nothing. The sad thing to me is, some girls dont mind being degraded for a few minutes of "fame". What's even worst is those who don't know and think everythings ohk. MTV has so much miney that thet are over the whole degrading to women thing. I think society has become excepting to stereotypes and dont care enough to do anything about it. Maybe we've become discouraged? Im not sure, but I think something needs to be done.
