The reason I don't wear a mankini is not because of the social stigma attached to it, it's because of the weather.
I'm not saying it doesn't have a target audience or that it doesn't follow a male stream of thought... I had the "pleasure" of watching it a while ago and some of the stuff on it really made all men out to be meatheads without minds. I was talking about it with a guy friend and he agreed that the show was a heap full of shit.
I think the point of the show is that sometimes it can be relaxing and entertaining (in a nonintelligent sort of way) to contemplate heap piles of shit.
Similar thing to the Jackass series, which was funny as all hell, but that doesnt mean I'm going to go tie firecrackers to my middle leg and set them off. Manswers, clearly not as funny, in fact quite badly done. But I dont think you are ever really going to hear a guy use the word "degrading". And its not really shows like this that do it anyway, girls have a tendency to think of most of the male population as meatheads controlled by their sex drive, and half the time thats really just so they dont have to admit to themsleves they are just as much a slave to their loins as we are. Yes overall guys might be more like that than girls, but that doesnt mean there isnt a percentage of the female population just as shallow and sex obsessed, if not more so, than the guys
Are you saying, straping a bottle rocket to your penis and lighting it, or shoving a toy car up your rectum and walking around town is not retarded but healthy thinking/viewing?!? Why would any sane person do that to themselves, defile their Temple with that kind of self degradation. What is funny about that kind of sick behavior. Call me a prude but there is nothing halarious about self-mutalation. If that is the state of Being on tis planet then I hope the end comes soon!!
I hate them both kthx I'm not opposed to violence or nudity. I just think the show is stupid and stereotypical. JEEZ.
Friggin Hippies and their constant discrimination of stereotypes.. Gender Degradation from a T.V. show?? You know whats worse? getting all pissy and not even cracking a smile at something that is obviously a farce. That show has good stuff to know too, like a fail proof way to tell a prostitute is a cop. Point is over the last 15000 years men and women have both done much more degrading things that would actually put down an entire gender. A T.V. does not do that
it is a hard thing for a man to be seen as anything other than a "meathead" in this society in many cases.
and just some more food for thought not all men have penises. some women do too. i know quite a few transgender people, and i've learned not to essentialize gender/bodies so much.
