Today, everything is based solely on image. Everyone has to be a "baller," "pimp," or best looking. has set an extremely materialistic image that has altered our culture. If you"re not thin, sexy, and rich, then you"re nothing in America. Girls spend hours in the bathroom trying to get pretty before they go out. Guys work out, shave, and work on their pick up lines so they can get the most women. Being natural is not an option. If all my knowledge of American Society was based solely on what I saw on T.V., I"d say they are a paganistic, superficial, ignorant, and ill-mannered group of people.
Beer, cussing, money, and women, is this what is supposed to make up the American man? Is the women demanded to look the best, have the best clothes, and have the fittest, most busty body? Should every guy be able to be with as many women as they want, while girls should stay pure until marriage? According to the three shows Making the Band 2, The Man Show, and Insomniac with Dave Attel it is. Solely using this as my knowledge, that's the perception I got.
These shows portray a wrong image of the American people. The depict the males as alcoholics, foul mouths, and morally challenged gender. In Making the Band 2, they portrayed the guys trying to be "thugs" and "gangstas," and trying to keep that image because it's the new trend. They use extremely vulgar language in both their daily lives and lyrics to their rap songs. Their minds are focused on money, girls, and clothing. The women on the other hand are always trying to fix their faces, hair, and trying to fit into the tightest and skimpiest clothes they can. This puts a lot of pressure on the American people to be the coolest, or best looking in the world.
Insomniac with Dave Attel could definitely make the men look terrible. He goes from bar to bar, getting extremely drunk and is on a quest to show the "Great American Night Life.
