Interesting post John. How about another trend...dead women. Look around advertising and you will see so many dead women it's surprising. You know dead is a metaphor for submissive of course. There is a feminist prof at USC that does a class on the subject...

Another trend I'm noticing all over television is gore. Oh yea. All these autopsy shows and Discovery loves grossly deformed women and children. I can't help but think about the freaks that sit at home fantasizing while watching this stuff.

Well, I guess after the objectification of women, some would argue it's the next step. Thanks (I guess) for pointing this out; some disturbing images but a trend that I wouldn't have picked up on my own. And I'm not much for gore, unless the name is Al.

That's the funny thing about it. You don't notice it until it's pointed out. They are subtle with it and they spin it on TV like it's in the interest of "science" but over and over makes it altogether something creepy like the pedophile fascination.
