Media Job [In]cite

If i had the opportunity to have any job in the world that has to do with media it would have to be a media proprietor and talk show host. A media proprietor is someone through personal ownership or dominant media role that has control over the media that is represented to the public. I think this is a very interesting and rewarding job that i would like to do in the future. I would like to be able to control the images that get portrayed to the public on a daily basis since i think there is a lot of negative media out there that influences people on a daily basis. Though i do have a slight fear (that has gotten better) of talking in front of large groups of people i think with some practise that i can have the potential to make a great TV talk show host. Many people know some of the most iconic talk show hosts like Ellen DeGeneres and Oprah Winfrey, i look up to these two women as iconic because Ellen has a way of entertaining like its nobodies business and Oprah has the ability to captivate audiences of all ages with her insightful and entertaining show.

I would like to be the host of a show more like Oprah because i would like to have episodes about more serious matters that matter on a deeper level as well as have celebrity quest stars. I want to be able to make episodes about things that really do matter like the way we interpret media and raising awareness for topics like poverty and cancer. Besides that, i would also like to have celebrity quest stars of all kinds but only the ones i feel are actually celebrities (so no Jeresy Shore interviews). The other thing that i would really like to do is to be able to confront celebrities with questions that i have over their actions, morals and ethics and to arrive at the real truth of what really happened instead of what we are told to believe. I would love to make some celebrities squirm and rush to come up with an answer (tehehe). :-)

I would just love to be able to educate everyday people on various different topics not just celebrity gossip and serious matters but about information and facts that are needed for everyday life. I love to work with people of all ages and types, i know how to communicate messages in an effective and entertaining way that will captivate audiences. In general i am very much a people person and i love interacting with new people on a daily basis. I am a Gemini so that means that i love to converse and share my thoughts, opinions and knowledge on a wide variety of topics to audiences. I would love to also get hands on with talk show hosting and actually go out to get my information first hand instead of sitting in an office reading what i am told is fact. I love getting first hand experience and sharing that experience with the people around me.

I have a mind of my own and i am not afraid to speak it. I think this is an important quality to have these days, since most people are afraid to express their true thoughts and feelings because they don't want to have to deal with a verbal twitter war over an opinion they have expressed. I would love to be able to inspire people on a daily basis just like Oprah does, and to influence them to reach for the stars to accomplish their dreams. It would also be pretty cool to get to make other peoples dreams come true by giving them hope of a better outcome to their situation and giving gifts to people who don't get them often. Just to be able to change one persons life for the better, or make someones dream come true by doing even the smallest of favours for them would be reward enough.

TV [In]cite

Large networks are the ones that decide for us what we can and can not see on TV. This is sometimes a good thing since they block any content that may be considered offencive. But the downside is that the networks have a tendency to be biased about what they will or will not show. Most networks like many other mediums want to portray a certain image to its viewers. One of the most common images they like to present is that of size 0 women modelling designer clothes and the hot male with a six pack abs that does extreme sports. Though most of us know that that is not how the normal average person looks like we are presented with it all the time as what normal and average should look like.

As you can see above, it is an add by Lane Bryant Lingerie which was band from Fox and ABC because they said that it was "too sexy." ABC claimed that the commerical is too racy for prime time television while Fox is saying the commerical is seductive and showy. They also claim that they don't have room to add them 25 second commerical into a slot. Come on! That is clearly a lie, the shows on Fox and ABC are more seductive and racy then the commerical is. I personally find it very offencive that they don't choose to air this yet they openly air Victoria Secret commericals which have more scantly clad women in them then this ad. Many people acted out in outrage that once you have a plus size woman modelling lingerie they pull it yet they openly run size 0 models in lingerie frequently on TV. Dancing With the Stars contestants openly agreed that it was wrong of Fox and ABC to pull the commerical considering the dancers on the show wear less clothes and more skin then the commeical.

I think it is wrong for ABC and FOX to ban this commerical just because the model is a size 16 instead of size 1. FOX and ABC's job should be to to ban content that is racist, gruesome, immoral and unethical, etc. The fact that they did pull the video shows that they are not forward thinking and go along with the image that is popularly and commonly overused of the "perfect girl." It is not fair that they block commericals featuring real women and choose to air ones that feature unrealistic standards for the viewing audience, which is women 20 to 40 years old.

Here is the latest commerical for Victoria Secret. Watch it for yourself and make up your own mind about the above content.

Is there really that big of a difference between the videos? Are not both of the commericals equally sexy and provocative?
