Sex-And-The-City Tangent #3

    Hey. I was just needing to blog to keep from typing for tonight. But, in the meantime, those of you who have seen my Sex-And-The-City Tangent will notice this Tangent is not about rock music or any subcultures. However, it is about the media, which these things are usually on. And, like Carrie Bradshaw on the television series 'Sex-And-The-City', I will ask more than one question that is to be taken rhetorically.
   Okay. I was just watching TV. And, I came across a channel on commercial break. And, I discovered an episode of a  children's show had appeared, & the show was now over in two minutes. It was an episode I've never seen fully but I've seen before. But, the television show is called 'Fairly Oddparents'. The episode was called 'Land Before Timmy' (A side note: This is a cartoon show). I'll end this paragraph, & the link will be under the paragraph.                                                      http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairly_Oddparents
   Either way, in this particular episode,  Timmy had a really rough day technology-wise. So, he wishes for life to have no technology. And, they send him back to a time similar to the stone age, where everything is worse. And, then, some volcanoes erupt, so, he wishes for technology back.
   Now, this episode has been on at least several times already. And, I have just finally started to wonder Can humankind live without any technology whatsoever now? Or, would that make us neanderthalistic (new term coined by me) in nature?

Sex-And-The-City Tangeant#2: Conformity ProgrammersPart 1: Why I Personally Hate Children's shows now

    Hello Again everyone. The Sex-And-The-City Tangent #1 about Lady Gaga got me a lot of views. And, I got an idea on to talk about how society has gave out children the message that all alternative subcultures are bad, and teaching our children that it is okay to be a conformist only. But, I was going to do a rant. But, instead, I decided to make another Sex-And-The-City Tangent. Here it is:

   I watch a lot of television. Sometimes, I watch children's channels. But, the children's channels I watch have no qualms about Alterophobia. In fact they always degrade the all black figures. Don't believe me? Here are some examples from the Disney show:

• The Disney Channel always shows the people dressed in all black as monsters. There was an episode of Hannah Montana dedicated to this theory that Goths/people into Heavy Metal are violent, stereotypes that probably formed post-Columbine.
• In fact, there is an episode of Hannah Montana (not the one mentioned above, I'd include a link to that one, bu, I can't find it. The episode I am talking about is a different episode.) where the school bully is a Goth girl.
• It's not just Hannah Montana. There was a recent episode of a show called Shake It Up on my television set. The main characters were being portrayed as bad people, pulling a little boy's hair, growling at him, & then eating his birthday cake. That's not what was Alterophobic about this episode. What was Alterophobic about this episode is that the girls were dressed in all black while doing all those foul deeds.

     And, it's  not just the Disney channel doing all this. Don't believe me? Here is some examples from Nickelodeon:

•  There is a show on Nickelodeon called Victorious starring Victoria Justice. Her rival is Jade, a girl whom I'm guessing is supposed to be a Goth girl. But, she is portrayed as a jerk, contrary to what most Goths/people in alternative subcultures actually are in every single episode.
• There was an episode of iCarly in which Carly dressed up like a punk/Goth to try to discourage her grandfather from taking custody of her. And, then, her grandfather says that just because she is dressed as a Punk/Goth, she'll do terrible, horrible, no-good crimes.

       Now, here's the question I have for the reader to comment on/think about: Is the bad guy always dressed in all black? Or, is that vision outdated?
