Media's Corruption on Society
When I woke up this morning, I turned on my television to watch the morning news, but there was a commercial on. It was an advertisement for Herbal Essence shampoo. The lawyer, who is a beautiful brunette woman, whips out a bottle of shampoo and starts washing her hair. While cleaning her hair, she moans wildly, as if having an orgasm. As she is doing this five muscular guys with their shirts off are singing, "she's got the urge". The next commercial was for the movie American Pie and it shows a girl in her unbuttoned shirt and underwear lying on some guy's bed saying, "you bad boy you". Another commercial was for the television show Friends; the clip shows Phoebe at a massage parlor with some guy with only a towel on and the advertisement guy saying: "tune in to the next Friends at 7:00 to see what happens to Phoebe at work." I turned off the television set after becoming disgusted at the sexual tactics they were using. I then decided to read my magazine that I just received. The first page I saw was an advertisement for Abercrombie and Fitch. It depicts a woman wearing a bikini top and a very short skirt standing on a table while four men all around her stare at her as if she was a ch
There are also plenty of movies out there that also depict these irresponsible behaviors. American Pie is one of these movies.

At the end of this movie they all end up loosing their virginities. Once again stating that everybody is having sex. In another movie Scream, Sydney, which is the only girl who is still a virgin, eventually got tricked into having sex with her boyfriend so he could kill her. To viewers who watch this movie they might see it as hey everybody eventually has sex one way or another. Even on the radio we hear songs from rap artists talking about how they like having sex, how much fun it can be, and how they are doing it. In one song, "Suck My Dick" by rap artist Lil Kim says, "All I wanna do is get my pussy sucked nigga". Girls who look up to this rap artist will think, "hey if that's what she wants then I want that too". It is not just one rap artist singing about sex. Another rap artist, Da Brat, raps, "And I like it when you touch my privacy and I like it sex and ecstasy". Song after song you hear about sex. In Foxy Brown's song, "Get Me Home", she sings, "I thought for a minute and then my mind went. Sex all around the car isn't it ironic?" After listening to these lyrics long enough listeners will eventually be brainwashed. In televisio
