Comedy and All His Cohorts

             The article, 5 Old -Timey Prejudices That Still Show Up in Every Movie, to be hilarious because it tells a truth. It explains the rather idiotic conventions of Hollywood. Such as there not being any female sexuality, little to none black male lead characters, and white washing history. These are all inequalities in the movie industry that everyone seems to either ignore or not care about. The article is humorous because it presents the flaws of Hollywood in a sardonic light. They point out the flaws and state the current system, such as a part of the article that reads: If It's A Blockbuster the Actor Better Be White (Or Will Smith). It's funny because it's true. Will Smith is one of the few minorities that can actually star/act in a movie without being killed off half way through it or being someone's best friend. Presenting the issues in a humorous way lets more people understand and relate to the article. If it was in the New York Times or something serious many people wouldn't give it the time of day, but because it both informs and entertains us we like it. It has a very serious message, that prejudice still exists,that is presented in a funny way.
