Overview_Of_Spike_TV

Overview Of Spike TV The success of male driven magazines like Maxim, FHM, and Stuff ultimately led to the creation of Spike TV. Like these publications, Spike has programming devoted to gadgets, movies, cars, and video games. However, these things alone do not attract men to buy magazines or watch TV shows. On the cover of every issue of Maxim, FHM, or Stuff is a scantily clad, large breasted woman. Spike TV uses the same “eye candy” strategy by using busty models in their commercials, promotions, and programming. The women they portray are flawless and perfect, and by doing this, Spike TV creates an image of the “ideal” woman. As Jean Kilbourne said in the video Killing Us Softly, these women are shown to be merely sex objects and to be used solely as pleasure for men. When Spike TV first came on the air, one of its flagship shows was a cartoon called Stripperella, which starred Pamela Anderson. The show is based on a Marvel comic created by Stan Lee, and it tells the story of a woman named Erotica Jones. By day, Erotica is a stripper at a local club, but by tv, spike, women, woman, shows, sex, shown, programming, perfect, pamela, men, anderson, wwe, video, superhero, stuff, stripperella, stripper, show, portray, one, objects, maxim, magazines, images, huge, fhm, false, every, erotica, day, breasts, appeal, world, willing
