South Park

In the show south park the main characters that are all white little male boys. This in fact supports Gerbner's theory because in his article he states that most scripts are written for men. There was violence in this episode and I would not call it happy violence because there is this character named kenny that dies in every single episode. The thing thats different about him is that he is the only on that is poor out of all the other charcters. When kenny dies its pretty nasty there is a lot of goar put into the way he dies. Gerbner stated that "most of the violence we see depicted is pretty snitized". So Gerbener is obviously wrong about this show. I think kenny getting killed in every episode is unnecessary but it happens in every episode that you dont think much of it. In this show in particular there were no major roles focused on a female and Gerbner is 100% correct when he stated that "men outnumber women in prime television 2 to 1".
