When movies or shows cast a lead female role, they worry about loosing the male viewers. One way to keep the male viewers is cast beautiful women that wears tight clothes. The movie Haywire lead actress is Gina Carano, a professional M.M.A. fighter. You think having an attractive women who is a professional M.M.A fighter as a lead actress in an action movie would be a hit right? Wrong, the movie failed at the box office, only making 9 million dollars on opening night. Who knows why the movie did so bad on opening night? Maybe a M.M.A fighter wasn't meant to be on the big screen.
But there are many other movies with a female lead role that are very popular among the male viewers. The movie Kill Bill has the lead role played by a female which was very popular to male and female viewers. Even though she is wearing a tight biker outfit, she does not show any cleavage and she is not portrayed as an sex object.
If the movie has an attractive female for the lead role, doesn't mean it will be popular for male viewers. I can think of many movies that had an beautiful women as the lead role that were not popular like Halle Berry in Catwomen. The male viewers want to see great acting, special effects, not just an attractive women.
The Bachelor and The Bachelorette are being sued because they have not had anyone of color be the starting role. After 10 years, 17 seasons of the Bachelor and 6 seasons of the Bachelorette, the starting role was white. One of the defendants says that the white applicants were given more time in their interviews. ABC released a statement saying “We have had various participants of color throughout the series' history, and the producers have been consistently — and publicly — vocal about seeking diverse candidates for both programs. As always, we continue to seek out participants of color for both 'The Bachelor' and 'The Bachelorette.”
The lawsuit claims that "minorities in lead roles and interracial dating is unappealing to the shows' audience.” The Bachelor and The Bachelorette have a high percentage of white viewers, after 23 total seasons ABC does not want to change up anything and lose their audience. ABC said that they are looking for minorities but they just don’t apply as much as white people.
The two men are asking the federal court to order the companies to consider people of color as finalists for the leading role in the TV shows. They are also asking that the suit be certified class-action so others could join the litigation.
I agree with the defendants, I think ABC is scared to put on a minority because they think they will lose viewers. I do not watch this show, but after 23 total seasons you have to change something up. This is the first lawsuit dealing with racial discrimination filed against a reality show. Who knows, in a few months there might be a spin off from The Bachelor and The Bachelorette with interracial romance.
A California mother attempted suing McDonald’s because she claims that the fast food giant used toys to market its meals to children. She says that her daughter loves to eat at McDonald’s because of the toy that she receives with her meal. The court dropped the law suit because she hadn’t suffered any financial damage. The CSPI (Center for Science in the Public Interest) backed up the mother and said “Using toys, of all things, to lure young children to fast-food meals is not responsible corporate behavior. It's a predatory practice that undermines parents, causes rifts in families, and harms kids' health.”
McDonald’s Happy Meal items have changed over the years,
now when you order a Happy Meal you have a choice of juice, 1% milk, chocolate milk and it comes with apple slices. One thing has stayed the same, the toys. McDonald’s uses popular toys like Lego, Hot Wheels, Barbie, Beanie Babies and other popular toys to get the children parents to buy them a Happy Meal. If the toy was popular, the kid is going to get his parent to buy many Happy Meals to complete his collection. McDonalds will sometimes have small toys and if you collect all of the parts you will have one big toy. I remember McDonalds had Happy Meal toys for inspector gadget and each body part of inspector was a toy. If you collected all of the pieces you would have a complete Inspector Gadget action figure. I would beg my mom to go to McDonald’s daily so I could complete Inspector Gadget, a lot of Happy Meals later I complete Inspector Gadget. McDonald’s in the United Kingdom started handing out children books to promote childhood education and for the parents to read the story and spend time with their kids. McDonald’s Happy Meal is the most popular kid’s menu item in the whole world!
I think this is one of the reasons why today’s children are obese because they get their parents to take them to McDonald’s to get a cheap toy that they will probably play with for a few hours. McDonald’s now include healthier items for the Happy Meals but you will still receive cheap toy. They also pay movie stars and athletes to promote the new toy. How do you feel about McDonald’s Happy Meals?
