The Good, the Bad and the American Beauty

At the American Beauty Forum people ask the question re if the titular [npi] movie "holds up" 10 years later.

Now we see the wonderful boobs of Thorny Bush at the window just holding up and we might well ask how long gravity may be so kind, but maybe that is not the question and maybe the question is if the BEAUTY has held up.

Well in my book [literally] Age 7 says no, per:

Age 6.
American Beauty (circa 2000)
6.1.    American Apple Pie is Melting
6.2.    About Happiness?
6.3.    About Drugs?
6.4.    About Pedophiles?
6.5.    About Gays and Closets?

Age 7.
Pandora (circa 2010)
7.1.    The End
7.2.    Resolve for Apocalypse
7.3.    Post Apocalypse and Survival Genres

The REAL answer rests with HAL as the advertising God, the "whore" Lester was so keen to put behind him [also npi], and his brilliant one-liner summary OF the Beauty "nope, our marriage is just an ADVERTISEMENT for how normal we are".  The movie was about how that HAL totally controlled the American Beauty, even fooling Lester himself who was so much "in it" up to his neck he couldn't distinguish the REAL Angela from his IMAGINARY Angela till it got all "up close and personal", and even the actual boobs were but a shadow of those CLOSETED behind rose petals, with the jingle-jangle music on overtime.

So back to the question of the Beauty today [ie 2013] and the only way to answer is to go back TO the advertising industry as the trillions of dollars made by corporations per annum totally depends on these "whores" getting it "right".

But "right" does not mean accurate but merely the PERCEIVED right that prompts J Doe [Jnr] to actually BUY the product, and sadly that perceived cardboard cutout is nowhere near to the far less perfect J Doe [Jnr] that buys because he/she WANTS to be the boy/girl in the advert - "same old thing since 1916" folks, ie the rules of advertising have not changed in all of the 100 years since they were gestated.

Generally the advert is "closeted", ie you are not TOLD you are the hero in the advert, but you just "gravitate" that way by the sexual triggers, BUT a new series of KIA ads goes the other way and TELLS J Doe Jnr how he/she SHOULD be.

What is more, the adverts are "bookends" where in each one the subjects collide with each other in mid stream, but keep going.  So please watch these adverts to see yourself as the perfect KIA buying profile.

I could spend hours going through the marketing cleverness of each and every perceived attribute of both genders, starting with the fact the 1970 SNAG has shed the [enforced] "S for Sensitive" and is now just a NAG [but has in fact added pram pushing at the other end, so still "under my thumb"], but I will let you ponder on all that.  Then the concession by gal is she is no longer "I am woman hear me roar", but she now "vocalizes" [which is still too noisy for my liking - lol].

Notice that it cops out totally by letting BOTH "wear the pants" but as a concession to the Sisterhood only the bloke "wears the blame" [ie responsibility].

Also note that gal takes a look at the girls passing by and bloke actually nods at a "fellow gay", so as not to put any "gay" people out of the profile [ie buy the car].

The cleverness of the ad is KIA [etc] only needs to make ONE car, and has done that by "burying the hatchet" in the Gender War of 1970 so the car "suits" both genders.

The sad truth is that the very "Twittermania" shown above as good [for the corporations] is in fact killing the Beauty, and here is the gal TRUTH of the matter which, while satire, is very close to the mark.

The guy disaster is even sadder because it was "Carefully Taught" [South Pacific - 1958] once the feminists took over the formerly named "education system" in 1970.  Here is the video:

Although this creep is below the banana slug in personality and cops out on WHY this happened [ie the 1970s feminists {who actually PAY him}], he is basically correct about why boys too may be more likely to suicide than buy the KIA.  And saddest of all is his audience is mostly the so called "Baby Boomers" that CAUSED the problem by not opposing the blatant feminist takeover in 1970.

That endeths the sermon on the American Beauty heading like Lemmings off [of] that TEOTWAWKI cliff.
