- At least on the Swan they give counseling to the women. They don't do that on Extreme Makeover. At least they're recognizing that they need help mentally too for their self-esteem issues.
- This is an interesting connection between the news and TV shows that I've never seen or thought about. I mean, I agree that these shows humiliating people are wrong, but these people volunteered to come on that show. And the torturing of Abu Ghraib was so extreme and inhumane, it's a ton more extreme than any of those TV shows.
- I definitely think that because the photo from Abu Ghraib showed a woman torturing these men, it made people a lot more critical of the events because it showed a women in power position over a man. I myself was slightly ashamed as woman seeing another woman doing something like this. I had hoped women were better than men in this regard to stoop to something so morally wrong. Maybe that was sexist of me to think though.
- I never heard of this show "I want a Famous Face" but it sounds terrible. I mean, men participate in this too right? So not just women are pressured to have this "perfect" look.
- It also reminds me of the analogy of the caterpillar transforming into a butterfly or the ugly duckling in the swan. This theme is really all throughout our history.
