Amos and Andy footage.

It's extremely objectifying.

Of course, right now, in this day and age, to most young people (and pervy oldsters), it's "sexy" and "cute."

FWIW, I'm not a fan of sackcloth and ashes for all, but I can see that this won't stand the test of time as women rise up in the world. At the very least, you'll see more boy bands making asses of themselves in similar fashion.

The level playing field is still probably decades away, but it'll come, eventually.

Family Guy never shies away, though, do they?
