Margaret Cho!

Ohhh goodness, why can’t everyone be like this? I think if every theorist we have dealt with had a comedy skit; it would have made it a million times easier to understand haha.

Well first of all, Margaret Cho is hilarious. I had no idea what she was going to be about before I started watching it but I was pleasantly surprised. I think Margaret Cho does a great job of incorporating her ideas of sexuality with all of her stereotypes and stuff.  As for the theorists that fit with her, I think Jameson fits in very well.  I think it’s safe to say that there were signs of parody and pastiche pretty much everywhere!  Also, Rubin fits in here very well too.  This fits in obviously because Margaret talks about mainly sexuality, gender and stereotypes throughout her skit.  She also mentions the idea that the producers forced her to lose weight and to go on diets.  This fits into the category of women having a specific image that they should fit into.  Sorry this blog is so short and brief; my computers being weird and wont let me type what I want to, argh!
