Going abroad to another country really opens your eyes to how our media in the US is so different from other cultures media. When I was abroad in Argentina I started to realize how over sexual everything in there culture was. I was really surprised how skanky there TV hosts were and how provocative there TV shows were. Argentina has a TV show called "Showmatch" which is a spin off of the United States "Dancing With The Stars". Both shows are on prime-time TV, yet Argentina's Showmatch features pornographic choreography, which often includes nudity. When i was reading an article on Showmatch i found this paragraph which really shows how different our dancing shows/ "cultural morals"/ TV rules are:
"When Nancy Grace slipped a nipple on Dancing with the Stars,
it caused a huge uproar. Now imagine if Nancy Grace ripped off her top,
exposed her breasts, humped her partner, took off her G-string, and
appeared completely naked. Oh, and Nancy Grace was a gorgeous model.
That's what happened Sunday on Argentina's version of Dancing with the Stars."
Showmatch is one of many Argentine shows which is a spin off of an American show. Argentina even has there own "Oprah" named Susana Gumenez who hosts her own talk show called "Hola Susana". Susana is a 67-aged former model who is over sexual on her show. She is described as having a "tranny grandma look with a raspy voice" due to her many operations to stay "young".
