Cultural Object
A cultural object is Tosh.o. Daniel Tosh has a tv show on comedy central where he shows vulgar clips from the internet. This is bad for our culture. The show is pointless and only displays videos that are either disgusting or where people get injured. People are interested in his show, because they think it is funny. Most of the content is crude, for example he has one segment called "is it racist?" He shows a clip and the audience must decide whether they think the clip is racist or not. Most the time they are. People react to the show by creating their own videos doing stupid things trying to imitate the footage shown on the show. One video showed a person sitting on an airbag when it explodes and the man was shot up into the ceiling. This is negatively influencing children. I don't know how such content is allowed to be put on cable television.
