http://polistimulus.blogspot.com/2009/05/feministe-sex-ed.html

Political Stimulus: The Girls Next Door
http://polistimulus.blogspot.com/2009/05/girls-next-door-super-bowl-party.html
Monday, May 4, 2009. The Girls Next Door. The first thing that comes to my mind after watching an episode of "The Girls Next Door" is that Hugh Hefner has got to be the luckiest guy in America. Besides living in this beautiful, grandiose, Los Angeles mansion. Furthermore, young girls probably shouldn't be watching this show in the first place. The target audience for the show is young adult males who clearly are not watching the show for educational value. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). The Girls Ne...

Political Stimulus: NBC Nightly News vs. Daily Show
http://polistimulus.blogspot.com/2009/05/nbc-nightly-news-vs-daily-show.html
Monday, May 4, 2009. NBC Nightly News vs. Daily Show. Recently, I watched an episode of NBC's Nightly News. Overall, the Daily Show is directed towards a completely different audience than the NBC news coverage. The show is there to provide a break from traditional news and to examine the aspects of the established news networks that could be viewed as humorous, like CNN's John King and his "magic board". For example, which I've always found to be rather comical myself. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

http://polistimulus.blogspot.com/2009/05/middlemans-got-it-wrong.html
Monday, May 4, 2009. Middleman's Got it Wrong. I just took a look at a recent blog post. By middleman3. In the post, middleman accuses the show "Girls Next Door" of having negative impacts on younger girls.
