What you can learn from TV shows and ads:
White guys are incompetent buffoons
Women are the problem solvers of the nation
Black women are smarter than anyone else
TV black men are are wonderful dads
Most white families mysteriously have at least one black, mulatto, or hispanic child or parent
All families have at least one homosexual
Having a muslim friend is cool
What I learned from TV shows:
1950s. Dad is wise, kids are respectful.
1970s. The children of those 1950s kids are smart mouthed, The 1950s kids have grown into dads that are dumb.
1990s. The children of the smart mouthed 1970s kids are very smart mouthed know-it-alls and the 1970s kids have degenerated into really dumb parents.
2010: Same as above but worse with more deviants now in the family.
It seems that smart kids grow into stupid parents.
