[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 21675"] It's indicative, to me, of the broad shift in media mentality over the last 30 or so years from descriptive to perscriptive. Movie and TV producers used to study the subjects they were portraying, to get the little details about the lives of similar people in similar places convincingly right. Now all imagery is blatant propaganda. Iconic. They apparently figure that if they portray life the way they want it to be, reality will follow suit. So nobody smokes, every woman is a corporate executive (or heads the detective branch of the police force) (at age twenty-three), and every social gathering prominently showcases minority inclusion. Then they all sneak off and screw each other. They're depicting themselves -- not us. :face: [/QUOTE]
