Modern Lady: Beer Ads

Everybody loves beer – men, women, children with fake IDs. But beer companies don't want one of these groups to enjoy their beer: women. Modern Lady Erin Gibson is on the case of how beer companies like Miller, Budweiser, and Heineken have gone from depicting women in commercials as eye candy hanging out with Spuds MacKenzie to the target of aggression and humiliation. In each episode of Modern Lady, Erin Gibson explores the often-conflicting ways in which today's media tells women to work, love, and be ladies. infoMania is a half-hour satirical news show that airs on Current TV. The show puts a comedic spin on the 24-hour chaos and information overload brought about by the constant bombardment of the media. Hosted by Conor Knighton and co-starring Brett Erlich, Erin Gibson, Ben Hoffman, Bryan Safi and Sergio Cilli, the show airs on Thursdays at 10 pm Eastern and Pacific Times and can be found online at http://current.com/infomania/ or on Current TV.

That’s Gay: Video Games Are Gay

The video game world hasn't always been gay-inclusive. In Nintendo games like “Contra,” “Mike Tyson's Punch-Out,” “Ring King” and “Streets of Rage 3,” you'd have to rely on gay innuendo. But in this week's That's Gay, Bryan Safi finds that gaming has gotten much gayer. “The Sims,” “Fable,” “Dragon Age,” “Bully,” and “Grand Theft Auto: The Ballad of Gay Tony” are all games that let you go gay for play. That's Gay is a recurring segment on the weekly television show infoMania. In each episode of That's Gay, Bryan Safi explores gay issues and stereotypes as they are portrayed by the clueless media.
