I was inspired to write this post because of this article.
On a list of 16 values, fame jumped from the 15th spot, where it was in both 1987 and 1997, to the first spot in 2007.From 1997 to 2007, benevolence (being kind and helping others) fell from second to 13th, and tradition dropped from fourth to 15th.
The study assessed the values of characters in popular television shows in each decade from 1967 to 2007, with two shows per decade evaluated, including “Andy Griffith” and “The Lucy Show” in 1967, “Laverne & Shirley” and “Happy Days” in 1977, and “American Idol” and “Hannah Montana” in 2007.
“I was shocked, especially by the dramatic changes in the last 10 years,” said Yalda T. Uhls, a UCLA doctoral student in developmental psychology and the lead author of the study. “I thought fame would be important but did not expect this drastic an increase or such a dramatic decrease in other values, such as community feeling. If you believe that television reflects the culture, as I do, then American culture has changed drastically.”
Community feeling (being part of a group) was the No.1 value in 1967, 1977 and 1997, and it was the No. 2 value in 1987, the study found. By 2007, however, it had fallen out of the top 10, to 11th.
“The rise of fame in preteen television may be one influence in the documented rise of narcissism in our culture,” said the study’s senior author, Patricia M. Greenfield, a UCLA distinguished professor of psychology and director of the Children’s Digital Media Center @ Los Angeles. “Popular television shows are part of the environment that causes the increased narcissism, but they also reflect the culture. They both reflect it and serve as a powerful socialization force for the next generation.”
The top five values in 2007 were fame, achievement, popularity, image and financial success.In 1997, the top five were community feeling, benevolence (being kind and helping others), image, tradition and self-acceptance. In 2007, benevolence dropped to the 12th spot and community feeling fell to 11th. Financial success went from 12th in 1967 and 1997 to fifth in 2007.
The two least emphasized values in 2007 were spiritualism (16th) and tradition (15th); tradition had been ranked fourth in 1997.
Fame is pushed on pretty much every show. I have never liked the term “be someone” linked to adulation by strangers. We have a very warped sense of values.
I hate pretty much everyone I meet. Why would anyone want attention from asshole strangers you don’t even know?
Nietzsche said that one of the greatest tragedies of the modern era (and even before) was that slave morality usurped traditional Roman values. Roman values promoted strength, justice, beauty, hierarchy, nobility, responsibility for your own fate and honor. The slave morality is the inversion of these values.
Slave morality values weakness, turning the other cheek, flattery, mercy, egalitarianism, helplessness and feeling superior because one is actually inferior. The Beatitudes (“Blessed are the weak, etc”) are a prime example of slave morality infecting our culture.
One the most frustrating aspects of media today (particularly television shows and movies) is the prevalence of slave morality. How many times has the good guy had the villain cornered, only to let him go free so he could “Live With what he had Done!” (during which time the entire audience is thinking SHOOT HIM!)? Many of times, it is unnatural forces that lead to the demise of the villain, which sends the message that one must not seek revenge, for the supernatural will do it for us. That’s not the case in real life.
Battlestar Galactica is a prime example. When a dying Gaius Baltar (man in the picture) confesses to Laura Roslin, president of the colonies (woman in the picture) that he was the one responsible for giving access to the cylons, causing the near extinction of the human race in a nuclear holocaust, she decides to save his life instead of letting him die.
Not to mention the humans made an alliance with the cylons, the same people that destroyed their home-world, their second world, and made it a point to chase and torture them throughout the galaxy.
In Star Trek: The Next Generation it is decided that although they could send back a Borg with an infection to wipe out all Borg, they would not. This was a species that terrorized the galaxy, including one Loqui-err- Jean Luke, Captain of the Enterprise, and threatened the existence of mankind on numerous occasions (including one really shitty movie).
In Game of Thrones (yes, i’m a fucking Sci-Fi/Fantasy Geek) Ned discovers that the Queen has cuckolded the King (his best friend) three times and produced no rightful heir. He tells her he knows, and shows her mercy by not killing her, despite the fact that she tried to kill HIS SON (succeeding in crippling him) and killed his brother in law Jon Arryn.
Spoiler alert: The idiot with the honor dies. So does the King.
So after countless frustrating hours spent shaking my fist at the television, it was nice to find a movie that not only showed Roman values, but did not seek to paint them in a bad light. The movie is called Taken, and if you have not seen it, you should.
Taken is the story of a father (retired CIA) who goes looking for his daughter once she is kidnapped in Paris for sex slavery. For once, the bad guys are not retired Nazis or KKK members (they are Albanian immmigrants and Arabs). The story is predictable, he saves his daughter, maintaining her honor (virginity) and becoming a hero to her. The most surprising part is how Hollywood allowed him to go about doing so.
Disclaimer: It’s a mass of spoilers from here on out. I would suggest watching the movie first. It really is an exciting movie unlike any other I have seen!
1) No mercy to enemies
The guy on the phone? He finds him.
He tortures him. He gets the information he needs.
The guy begs for his life. Liam Neeson kills him anyway.
2) Revenge is good. Punishing others for their evil actions is good.
Liam Neeson (sorry, I don’t remember the guy’s name) does not just kill the man who stole his daughter. He murders every single person involved in the sexual slavery enterprise, including, but not limited to, connected higher ups, businessmen, waiters, men that beg for mercy, cronies, and goons. He does this because they are immoral and weak, and lesser men than him. It is his duty to kill them.
3) No warnings, no chances to repent.
In one of the best scenes in the movie, Liam Neeson confronts his friend in Paris. The friend was a higher up diplomat who was looking the other way in order to get a kickback from this sex slavery business. The friend was supposed to be helping Liam get his daughter back, but only put obstacles in his way. Liam goes to his house.
He then shoots his wife.
He does not say, “I am going to shoot your wife if you don’t tell me the information.”
He just shoots her.
Liam Neeson gets the information he needs.
If you want to be taken seriously, act in a serious manner.
4) Do not negotiate with your enemy
In one of the last scenes the man who is to deflower Liam’s daughter has her by a knife. He utters the words, “We can nego-..”
\
BAM!
Sorry Mohammad. You’re dead.
5) Your fate is yours. Do not trust in the supernatural to bring you justice.
Liam Neeson does not expect God or nature to extract justice, he gets it himself. He is the master of his own fate and the protector of his family.
One of the most poignant aspects of this movie, is how popular it is among teenage girls. While perusing my sister’s Tumblr feed, i noticed as many Taken gifs and memes as I did for Twilight and Hunger Games. Many girls are looking for a father that is an ubermensch, but unfortunately, society has beaten all the uber out of our mensch.
This is long, so go make a coffee while it loads (am looking at you, poor people).
Also read the whole thing, including the quotes, because this took forever. I sifted through a lot of nonsense and infected my brain with an endless loop of “Ale-Ale-jaandro” by Lady Gaga, just for you.
———————————————————
Cultural Marxism is a term referring to a group of Marxists who have sought to apply critical theory to matters of family composition, gender, race, and cultural identity within Western society.
Dadaism is an artistic movement in modern art that started around World War I. Its purpose was to ridicule (poke fun at) the supposed meaninglessness of the modern world. Its peak was 1916 to 1922, and it influenced surrealism, pop art, and punk rock. It favored going against normal social actions.
Neo-Dada is exemplified by its use of modern materials, popular imagery, and absurdist contrast. It also patently denies traditional concepts of aesthetics.

Rihanna
Top Hits: Umbrella, Disturbia, S&M, Hard, Russian Roulette, and Rude Boy
Lyrics from S&M:
“Cause I may be bad, but I’m perfectly good at it, Sex in the air, I don’t care, I love the smell of it, Sticks and stones may break my bones, But chains and whips excite me”
“S-S-S & M-M-M. S-S-S & M-M-M
Oh, I love the feeling you bring to me, oh, you turn me on, It’s exactly what I’ve been yearning for, give it to me strong, And meet me in my boudoir, make my body say ah ah ah”
Some stills from the video:
Rihanna’s success correlates with her increasingly sexualized lyrics and performances. She has received numerous awards and accolades, including five American Music Awards, eighteen Billboard Music Awards, two BRIT Awards and six Grammy Awards. Her “look” seems to be increasingly bondage oriented (perhaps as a way to appear tough after a public domestic abuse case.)
Still from her “We Found Love” video which furthered enraged feminists: “Rihanna’s new video is a disgrace,” said Kelly [Head of the Rape Crisis Center]. “It sends the message that she is an object to be possessed by men, which is disturbingly what we see in real violence cases.”
Here is a picture of Rihanna and her fans:
Update: Rihanna has committed to becoming the poster child for western “humanitarian” military intervention in Africa after promising she will visit Uganda to promote the Kony 2012 fraud, despite Ugandans themselves angrily distancing themselves from the viral propaganda film.
“The Wall has come down, the Stasi have demobilized and are no longer evident, yet in a strange way a spirit of Marxism is abroad in the West. A spirit of Marxism is abroad in the United States, unbelievably so! The number of American Marxist-Leninists you could have gotten in a few taxis to a certain extent, and yet this element of cultural Marxism is abroad in the United States, as it is in Western Europe, as it is in Northern and to a certain extent Southern Europe, as it is much less evidently so in post-Communist Eastern Europe, where there’s been an enormous reaction against it.” - Jonathan Bowden
The Black Eyed Peas
Top Hits: I Got a Feeling, Bom Bom Pow, Imma Be, and Just Can’t Get Enough.
Driving force in divorcing the use of America from proper use of the English language; retarded fashion.
Madonna:
Madonna is probably the most controversial pop star of all time, and a driving force to normalize sexuality, wild promiscuity, homosexuality, the mocking of Christianity and occult themes in popular culture.
All Madonna’s charity work is now focused on Africa (poverty, AIDS, blah blah). She is also is partnered with SocialVibe, the leading social media utility connecting people with brands, empowering them to engage with sponsors and share branded content with their social graph to benefit a cause of their choice. Ha, using brands “as a means of empowerment”. Greedy ass bitch.
M.I.A.
Hits: Born Free, Paper Planes, Galang
M.I.A. cites guerrilla art and fashion as major influences
M.I.A. attributes much of her success to the “homeless, rootlessness” of her early life, and is considered to be a refugee icon. The EMP Museum’s 2008 Pop Conference featured paper submissions and discussions on M.I.A. presented on the theme of “Shake, Rattle: Music, Conflict, and Change.” Throughout her career, M.I.A. has used networking sites such as Twitter and MySpace to discuss and highlight human rights abuses and war crimes.
Prior to her 2008 Coachella festival appearance, M.I.A. filmed from her Bed Stuy apartment window and posted on YouTube an incident involving a black man being apprehended by white police officers, which in light of the Sean Bell shooting incident, elicited commentary debating the force used for the arrest.
MIA’s most controversial video is “Born Free,” which depicting genocide against red-haired adolescents (in America). It was a (not subtle) dig at Arizona’s immigration law. James Montgomery of MTV described it as “unflinchingly, unapologetically real” depicting “the kind of things that most nations — including the U.S., which is portrayed as the aggressor in the clip — often pretend don’t happen: the rounding-up of ethnic minorities, the trampling of personal liberties, the bullying of the powerless by those with authority.”
She supports the Unstoppable Foundation, co-funding the establishment of the Becky Primary School in Liberia. During her visit to Liberia she met the then President of Liberia, rehabilitated ex-child soldiers and appeared as part of a humanitarian mission there, hosting a “4Real” TV-Series documentary on the post war situation in the country with activist Kimmie Weeks.
“It’s taken a little bit of time to examine why Marxism, of all things, has ended up culturally influential in the United States. It’s got little to do with economic theory; it’s got much more to do with self-hatred and negation. Guilt. The extending of your own mental remit into groups that don’t care for you, or that purposefully wish you ill. And it’s got a lot more to do with the architectonics of the Frankfurt school, and its ability to morph and to merge into the general Liberal currency of the last 50 years” -Jonathan Bowden.
Katy Perry
Top hits: I Kissed a Girl (and I liked it), Firework, The One that Got Away
I believe the part about selling her soul BTW. With a mug like this, who wouldn’t attribute her fame to an evil force? Yikes.
Anyway.
Here she is kissing a fan on the lips.
Here she is on Sesame Street:
Here she is with some fans.
and of course the reigning queen…..
Lady Gaga
Top Hits: Poker Face, Just Dance, Born this Way, Bad Romance, LoveGame and Telephone
Lady Gaga is known for outrageous blood soaked concerts and juxtaposing Christian and Satanic imagery with sexual and violent performances.
She has gone on to influence Fashion Week rundown shows and fashion in general.
She is also a dedicated polital activist. She is very vocal about gay rights, pro-immigration, “anti-bullying” (code word for hate speech/thoughts). The U.S. Department was “instrumental” in getting her to perform at the 2011 Europride gay pride event in Rome, as stated by Hillary Clinton. Why the USA is intervening in the socio-political events of Italy, I am not sure.
From Wiki:
“As a humanitarian, she has launched her own non-profit organization, the Born This Way Foundation, which focuses on youth empowerment and issues like self-confidence, well-being, anti-bullying, mentoring, and career development.The foundation will work with a number of partners, including the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, The California Endowment and the Berkman Center for Internet & Society at Harvard University. She also jumped into the debate surrounding SB 1070, Arizona’s recently-enacted anti-immigration law, after premiering her Born This Way song “Americano” on the Guadalajara stop of The Monster Ball Tour in Mexico, telling the local press that she could not “stand by many of the unjust immigration laws” in the US.[177] A devoted advocate for the LGBTcommunity, Gaga is also an outspoken activist for LGBT rights worldwide.[178] On February 29, 2012, Lady Gaga and Oprah Winfrey visited Harvard University to launch her Born This Way Foundation.”
Aside fromher powerful social circle above, Gaga has also met with the Queen of England and is a rumored friend of Marxist Slavoj Zizek (who is a friend of Julian Assange- small world). He says of her famous meat dress: ” [The] dress is a reference to “the consistent linking in the oppressive imaginary of the patriarchy of the female body and meat, of animality and the feminine.”
Here are some pictures of the audience from her concerts:
Pop music and stars are marketed to appeal to the largest age demographic possible, which includes teenagers and children.
Lady Gaga started out as Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta but did not have much success with her regular act. Once she changed her image into that of Lady Gaga, she was propelled into instant success. Her first album as Gaga, The Fame, made her a household name.
“The trick that the soft Left has learned is that if you disavow the hard edge of Leftist slaughter and Siberian camps and Stasi prison cells and you instead excel in the polymorphous rebellions of Herbert Marcuse and the student left of the 1960s, you can actually influence the whole soft spectrum from the moderate Right, through the Center, through the center-Left, through the general-Left/Generic-Left, through the soft Left, up to the softest accretions of the hard Left and to the moderate-hard Left. An enormous spectrum – two-thirds of the political spectrum — can be influenced by Marxist ideas shorn of their hard-edge Stalinist and Maoist filters.” - Jonathan Bowden
I am dismayed at the amount of filth I found in such a short period of time, and with such minimal effort. The amount of sycophants in the comments section (seriously asshole, using the word “juxtaposition” doesn’t make you sound smart. You’re praising a painting made out of shit.) have further destroyed my spirits.
Religious art used to be a means for creative types to express their awe and wonder at the supernatural, now it is merely another means for subversion and insult. And it’s ugly. Yet another Nietzschean inversion of values.
In positive news, someone “vandalized” the Piss Christ anti-art piece. Look at these stupid, concerned assholes. Never trust a woman in cargo shorts.
*Forgive the poor formatting, I have no idea what is wrong with WordPress. Have tried to fix it for the past hour, with no success; only an overcoming frustration that can only be described by this picture:
Yesterday you were introduced to the themes, characters and relationships of Glee. Today we will look into some of the plotlines and musical interludes of this show and the message they send out.
Plotlines:
Football jock Dave bullies Kurt, because Kurt is gay
Buuuuut….it turns out that Dave the bully, is only bullying Kurt because he is secretly gay and in love with Kurt. This very Freudian turn sends the message that people only bully gays because they secretly want to fuck them. So if you bully queers, you’re a big ol’ queer yourself.
Plotline: Slut Christian blonde cheerleader hypocrite Quinn gets her come-uppings when she gets pregnant by her boyfriend Finn.
But seeing as she is a slut AND a hypocrite it’s actually another jock’s child (Puck). She knew this the entire time and was trying to cuckold Finn.
Quinn’s horrible uptight Christian parents (more horrible than her, even) kicked her out on the street when they discovered she was pregnant, even though she begged for forgiveness. She gives the child up for adoption.
Idiot Christian, Finn makes a grilled cheese sandwich he thinks looks like Jesus and prays to it, hoping that his wishes get granted.
He is then approached by Rachel in his room. She does not believe in “Grilled Cheezus” and insists her children will be brought up Jewish. Finn, overcome by his desire for her, agrees- and she gets him to second base.
Terri Scheuster, blonde wife of the Glee club teacher (and aunt to Quinn!!!!) , fakes a pregnancy to avoid divorce. She is generally a controlling bitch who is trying to break up the glee club.
Funding is cut and Artie will have to travel to Glee competitions at his own expense due to his disability.
The Glee coach makes all the kids use wheelchairs to see what it feels like. They are able to raise enough money to cover Artie’s costs due to a very successful bake sale, where the goods were laced with marijuana, giving everyone the munchies.
Mike Chang’s evil dad wants his son to be financially secure and pushes him study medicine.
Mike defies him by saying he will be a dancer when he grows up (big demand at those dancing factories?). Mike’s dad comes around, and learns that everyone should follow their dreams (for fame).
Mercedes is forced to lose weight by blonde villain Sue in order to fit in a cheer outfit.
She ends up fainting and having to go to the emergency room. All her friends rally around her and tell her not to lose weight. Quin (who is nice for one episode!) tells Mercedes that she respects her for accepting herself, and she learned how important eating was once she became pregnant. Mercedes goes off the diet.
“The Beast”, who is also the high school football coach (yes, to the guys) thinks she’s too ugly to have a boyfriend and has never had a kiss before.
But a handsome college football coach falls in love with her for some reason.
Joe Hart is a new addition to the Christian club, but his Christian beliefs lead him to hesistate when having to sing a song to a lesbian couple. He changes his mind as he realizes, “Love is love, man.”
He sings for the happy couple as they share a kiss.
The entire Glee club is boycotting Finn and Rachel’s wedding because they are too young to get married and Rachel should focus on her dreams of “becoming famous” on Broadway.
When Santana came out to her grandmother, she disowned her, because of her strict Catholic beliefs. This is portrayed as a terrible thing.
When Kurt comes out to his macho dad, his dad say he is perfectly fine with it and is unfazed. His dad also attempted for Kurt to be allowed to sing songs reserved for the female Glee cast. This is all spun as very positive, especially when juxtaposed with Santana’s grandma’s “bigotry”.
Kurt’s dad gets a heart attack. People try to rally around Kurt and pray for his dad but he refuses the prayers (specifically Quinn’s) because Christianity is “anti-gay, woman, and science.”
Mercedes brought him to her “more spiritual” black church and he was more OK with it, and came to terms with allowing prayers for his dad, even though he was still an avowed atheist (this episode also touched upon Sue’s atheism).
UPDATE: Thanks to Leap of Beta for informing me about the plot below.
Kurt and Finn’s parents get married and the two boys are forced to share a bedroom. Kurt aggresively tries to seduce Finn, ignoring his discomfort with it-even going as far as decorating his bedroom like a harem. Finn says that Kurt’s bedroom decoration is faggy and Kurt’s dad throws Finn out of the house for disrespecting his son.
Finn “makes it up to him” by dressing up in drag for his Glee performance.
Finn had also asked Kurt to dance at his parents wedding, showing that although sometimes bigoted he usually does the right thing (appease gays regardless of his feelings or convictions). Maybe in another episode he can take it up the ass, to show that he’s REALLY tolerant.
Songs (just a few, because seriously, my head is spinning):
During the Lady Gaga (of course, right!?) episode, everyone sang “Born This Way” proudly wearing a t-shirt that boasts about what makes them different.
It’s a big hit at the concerts, too
One of us by Joan Osbourne
During the Madonna episode Rachel and Jesse sing “Like a Virgin”
Puck sings “Fat Bottomed Girls” to Lauren in order to woo her.
(This is Lauren, btw)
I Kissed a Girl by Katy Perry
Merecedes sings “I Will Always Love You” to Sam, the guy she just rejected.
This is Sam, btw
“With you I’m born again”- Rachel dressed as a schoolgirl and Finn as a priest. Subtle.
Kurt performs “Single Ladies”
Well ladies and gentlemen, the prosecution rests. Hope you enjoyed the show.
If you still have not had enough, check out the cast of Glee slutting it up for GQ magazine. I’d say it’s pretty in line with the values of the show.
Have any of you heard of the hit show Glee? On the surface it is a show about the trials and tribulations of the high school glee club, but if you actually are able to sit through an episode, it is much more sinister than that.
I have not yet been able to accomplish such a feat, jumping up from my seat and exclaiming about diversity agendas, marxism, and anti Christian rhetoric to my (recovering) Glee-tard youngest sibling and mother.
Worst of all, it hits you like a ton of rocks. I like my subervsion subtle, at least don’t insult my intelligence whilst destroying my culture.
So, in order to shut me up, Gleetard agreed to help me bring you a Glee tutorial, so you don’t have to sit through it yourself. Brought to you with minor commentary and in pictures.
As you are reading below, please note this is an extremely popular show for teenagers and pre-teens.
The couples:
Santana Lopez and Brittany S. Pears (huh huh, get it?)
Interracial lesbian couple; cheerleaders
Kurt and Blaine. Gay couple; first “non peck” guy on guy kiss in prime-time history
Puck and Lauren
Yes. One more time.
Puck.
Lauren.
Did I mention that HE was the one that was in love with her? She brushed him off.
Mercedes and Sam
That’s right.
This is Mercedes.
This is Sam.
Someeeebody didn’t read their Kanzawaaaaa. By the way, she is the one that ends up rejecting Sam in the end.
Artie and Tina
Artie and Brittany
‘
and the Golden Couple….
Finn and Rachel
Jewish/Gentile couple
He chose Rachel over Quinn, the Queen bee blonde cheerleader, because Rachel “is a better person” and of course, as we all know, blondes are evil.
Theme: Sex, Sex, Sex!! (and more sex)
“Did you bring the poppers?”
Kurt and Blaine’s first time having anal sex was lauded was “sweet” by the media.
According to sister “These two chicks hook up all the time”
Puck and Quinn
Finn and Santana
Finn and Quinn
Finn and Rachel
Brittany and Artie (the dude in the wheelchair)
Reminder: Show for young people. Prime time.
Theme: Diversity
You’re only worthwhile if you are different. Tradition and status quo are immoral. White is bad.
Let’s play ‘find the heterosexual Caucasian gentile’! (He’s the one in the wheelchair). Oh, and the Asian girl has a stutter (for good measure).
The villains of Glee represent anti-diversity.
Quinn (also Christian, more on that later)
Sue Sylvester
Both are part of the cheerleading squad (Sue is the coach). All are white blonde Gentiles.
Terri Schesuter is the bitch wife of the Glee coach and makes his life a living hell.
The only heterosexual white Christian gentile who is not evil is the guidance counselor. However she is a repressed virgin, has OCD, is a germaphobe, and has “ginger supremacists” parents (we all know what they’re alluding to). A very flawed individual, indeed.
The heroine of the show is the underdog Rachel, who triumphs over the evil blondes and gets the guy. She is one the character allowed to be innocent, sweet, and a virgin (up until recently) without any underlying hints of repression or hypocrisy.
She is mocked because she is “different” and has two fathers. This family is portrayed as the most functional, fun and happy, while those that mock her have cruel heteronormative parents (more on that later too).
You can only gain redemption by joining the underdogs. Santana, Brittany, and Quinn (cheerleaders), Finn and Puck (football jocks) — were evil bullies magically transformed into kind souls once they joined the Glee club and embraced diversity and “being different.”
Theme: Christians are assholes
Quinn, the only overt Christian on the show for some time, is a bitch, a cheater a hypocrite, and a slut.
She’s actually such a ridiculous hypocrite that she takes (even ridiculous by Glee’s standards) “prayer breaks’ between sex sessions with her boyfriend. We are constantly reminded that the bitch is the Christian, via the small cross she wears on her neck.
Quinn’s very Christian parents are uptight, no-fun, repressed (of course), unforgiving jerks that threw their daughter out on the street when she did not “hold up their values”.
The Celibacy Club is also full of hypocrites, judgemental assholes, and cockteases. The motto of some of the girls is…..
“Yes to teasing, no to pleasing”
Lastly is the new Christian character Joe Hart. He is a “weird” (best friend is his Mom, home-schooled), judgmental, space cadet who only gains redemption when he agrees to sing a Valentine’s Day sing-o-gram to a lesbian couple, exclaiming, “Love is love, man.”
Theme: “Loving yourself” moots all value judgement
Lauren “owned” that she was fat and loved it, and that’s why Puck fell in love with her….citing her “bad assness”
Rachel wanted to get a nose job and was convinced she was beautiful regardless
and of course…Kurt. Everyone should “be themselves”
I can honestly say that I’d rather my children watch every episode of Jersey Shore, Toddlers and Tiara’s and Kardashians than even one episode of this thinly veiled propaganda.
Now that you know some of the themes and characters, we will next explore some actual plot-lines of Glee and what kind of message they send out. Stay tuned for tomorrow!
