...only if you sleep with me
So it's Monday night, 9PM and I'm doing what I'm always doing at that time on those nights. Turning on the TV to watch my all time favorite show, One Tree Hill. Entirely too much happens in this show to even try to catch anyone who doesn't watch the show up on what's happening, but just to make it clear, a male character in the show has written a book and now has the opportunity to turn the book into a movie. With the book and movie being about his life, he is very particular about how the movie is going to be produced and who will be playing each character. As hard as it is to make a perfect movie, it doesn't help that the guy who was hired to direct this movie is a total jerk. This past weeks episode showed the casting for the movie and this episode made me absolutely hate the director of the movie. When casting the roles for the women characters in the movie, he showed high favoritism to the more attractive women with larger chests. Joking around seeing the author of the book upset about how the casting was going, the director gave him some fake advice. He told him to close his eyes and just listen to the women who were trying out for this part. Even know the director was only joking when he said to do this, he did it anyways. When the actress first began explaining who she thought this character was, he thought he had found the perfect girl. But then she said something that made him quite upset and not want to hire her at all. At the end she said "...and I'll sleep with both of you." He opened his eyes and looked at her funny not appreciating at all what she had said. The director however, liked what she had said and wanted to give her the part just because she said that and that she had a large chest. It makes me sick to my stomach to think that a male director or boss or who ever it is would only give a job to a female if she sleeps with him. And how does that make the women who was trying out for the role look? She offered that to both of them without the jerk director even asking for it. That's a slut if you ask me. What kind of role model is that for young girls to look at? It's pretty much telling young girls that they have to put out if they want anything in life. That's a horrible way to raise the next generation, thinking that they are inferior to the male gender.
