As Seen Everywhere (Everyday pornography)

There are different extents to pornography, some of which can be seen on mainstream television. Not all pornography is X-rated; some can be softporn, which is aired on HBO or late night cable, others can be subtle sexual innuedos on primetime television. Television shows on MTV air many shows that focus on sex, such as Jersey Shore and The Real World. Sex and the City originally aired on HBO, but the past seasons are now being aired on The CW. This show follows the life experiences of four women while heavily emphasizing on sex.




Tosh.0 is a famous comedy show aired on Comedy Central. The show is centered on videos and pictures that are uploaded to the Internet. Daniel Tosh, the host, is a comedian that isn't afraid to speak his mind on any topic. He makes light and fun of senstive issues, such as pornography. Below is a picture that shows a man protesting pornography claiming "Pornography Harms" while a bystander holds a sign that says "...My Wrist."




The link below is a video of G-rated porn reenactments using children. Many find this to be offensive and crossing the line. I am not sure how I feel about the video clip. The children don't know what they are immiatating. but the parents do and I think that's where I have the problem. Like Tosh said at the end of the clip, “The great thing about doing this show in Hollywood is there's no shortage of awful parents who will let their kids do anything for a SAG* card.”



*SAG is short for Screen Actors Guild
