Portrayal of women in the medi


            
             It was a Tuesday afternoon as I perused through the television. I recently heard a few songs on the radio and decided to see what video interpretations were made out of them. I watched MTV during that time to see The countdown seemed to go from more provocative to downright nasty until it got the most requested and usually most perverted masterpiece. Not only were most of the music videos explicit in their content, they represented a negative image of women. Focusing on one video is difficult enough since most of them have the same offensive displays of women in them; However, I choose the video for a song that was at the top of the list entitled hot "Hot In Herre" by the popular rapper Nelly. In this music video, the goal of the focused young woman was to attend the club that the famous rapper Nelly was attending, force her way in through the immense crowd and get close enough to the famous rapper, dance with him. Somehow the dancing throughout the club generates enough heat, to set the roof on fire and forcing the club goers which were entirely female, to start removing articles of their clothing while the sprinkler systems soaks the scantly clad women. Each girl looked similar, exposing her flat stomach, thin waists and pretty faces. During this time and as the lyrics of the song state "I wanna take my clothes off". And showed the men who were more or less fully covered, pulling and submitting the girls to dance with them or in front of them with little or no objection from the women. The videos displayed on this show are objectified and portrayed as sexual objects by the distatsteful attire, unrealistic bodily images of women, and or/ willing to submit thmeselves to a male at any time.
             In the various forms media, women are subjected to being portrayed as sexual objects. However, the perception of women in contemporary music videos have become distasteful. At a In the example of a video for Nelly's, "Hot In Herre" it shows scantly clad women dancing, throughout the club scene portrayed in the video.
