ABSTRACT Perceptions of Nonconforming Sexualities and Genders on Television Talk Shows by Violeta Oliver Dr. Paul Traudt, Examination Committee Chair Associate Professor of Mass Communication University of Nevada, Las Vegas GLBTQ (Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgendered, Queer/Questioning) people often appear as guests on daytime television talk shows. Using cultivation analysis, the author explored television talk show viewers’ perceived realism of television talk shows and GLBTQ people. This quantitative study tested seven hypotheses. Support was found for the first two hypotheses, indicating that heavy viewers of television talk shows perceived television talk shows to be more realistic or true to life than light viewers. Support was not found for the other hypotheses. There was no significance difference between heavy and light viewers of television talk shows and their perception of the GLBTQ community. There was no significant difference between heavy and light viewers of television in general and their perceptions of the GLBTQ community. Ill Reproduced with permission of the copyright owner.

I performed oral sex on him in the bathroom on the set of my movie "The Cockpit Club". We met through a mutual friend I performed oral sex on Tom Cruise And getting him off was a mission impossible. We met at a party Rebecca Demornay was throwing. He was standing in her living room drinking white champagne. Getting him off was a mission impossible As his cock flossed my teeth. He looked good as shit standing in Rebecca's living room, lips sipping champagne. He noticed me smiling at him over Cuba Gooding Jr's shoulder.

  • Civil Liberty Versus Civil Liability: Robert O'neil Defends the First Amendment
    GANDER.DOC 4/15/2003 11:02 AM CIVIL LIBERTY VERSUS CIVIL LIABILITY: ROBERT O’NEIL DEFENDS THE FIRST AMENDMENT Eric M. Gander* A spectre is haunting First Amendment jurisprudence. It is the spectre of multimillion dollar lawsuits, brought by those who believe themselves to have been harmed by words or pictures, against the mak- ers of those words or pictures. It is a spectre that threatens to result in massive censorship, not by the government (which, as we know, is re- strained by the First Amendment), but rather by private individuals us- ing civil courts to secure what they feel is justice. It is a spectre that strikes at the heart of Justice Brennan’s admonition that, in regard to re- strictions on free expression, “[w]hat a State may not constitutionally bring about by means of a criminal statute is likewise beyond the reach of its civil law of libel.”1 Writing for the Court in the 1964 case of New York Times Co. v. Sullivan, Brennan, referring specifically to an Ala- bama jury’s huge award against the New York Times in a libel suit brought by a citizen of that state, noted: “The fear of damage awards under a rule such as that invoked by the Alabama courts here may be markedly more inhibiting than the fear of prosecution under a criminal statute.”2 He then goes on to stress that in a civil action the defendant does not even enjoy the “ordinary criminal-law safeguards such as the requirements of an indictment and of proof beyond a reasonable doubt.”3 All of this and more lead Justice Brennan, and a majority of his brethren then on the Court, to conclude that Mr.

The most recent rash of school shootings are but one example of the extent to which our culture has become accustomed to senseless - and to some extent random - violent acts. We find ourselves asking: who beyond the individual perpetrator is responsible for these acts? Victims of violent crimes, and families of victims, increasingly point the finger at members of the media - book publishers, television executives, movie producers and the like - and seek to place legal responsibility and liability squarely on their shoulders.

Pointing the Finger of Blame: News Media Coverage of Popular-Culture Culpability By Erica Scharrer (University of Massachusetts Amherst) Lisa M. Weidman (University of Georgia) Kimberly Bissell (University of Alabama) 2 Introduction Throughout the twentieth century, certain segments of U.S. society have blamed the products of popular culture for lowering moral standards and inciting “bad” behavior. After World War I, for example, many blamed movies for bringing the “loose morals” of Europe to America, resulting in women taking up smoking and wearing dresses that exposed their calves.
