WOW. I have read many opinions/views on the show Manswers displayed on the Internet. I watched the show for the first time August '08. I will be writing a college paper about a source of media that displays a race/gender issue. I thought Manswers was a perfect topic of discussion considering all the diverse views. This will be very difficult to write from an analytical, versus bias, point of view. It seems like everyone out there either loves the show or hates it! But.... I did read one review from "Chris"about Manswers .... that basically said: 1. People are over-reacting. 2. The show actually made him, himself, feel slightly uncomfortable. 3. It degrades men, portraying them as horny slober-ers. 4. Spike TV channel is equivalent to men, as Oxygen channel is to ________. 5. It is all about varying perspectives, and overall context. In conclusion, that was the only review I liked. On a new topic, in college I am learning about modern stereotypes and I thought you might want to know a little bit about me before i give you my opinion. When reading other people's Manser internet reviews, I couldn't help but wonder if they were old, or young, male or female, where they lived, how much money they made, if they had kids, if they were feminist, if they were married, and how they dressed. FYI: I am 18. F. I just moved near Sacramento from Lake Tahoe. I don't have a job. No kids. 1 brother. 1 boyfriend. Divorced mother & father. Blonde. 5'8". 155. Lbs. College major: Art. Non-racist. I dress plain/girly/chick/surferish/skaterish. ... Now that you 'get the gist' and have naturally created a stereotype in your mind about 'who I am" as a person... I will give you my opinion about the show manswers: I couldn't believe it. I thought it was like the comedy-version of Myth-busters. Some of the questions asked have actually crossed my adolescent girl mind. I wouldn't watch the show with my mom. Maybe my dad. Possibly my brother. Definatly my..

16+
- I rate this title on for age 10 and give it
- My highlights are:
- Good role models
it's just a show.
It's just a funny show about random stuff that you've never thought to ask. Also, a show isn't going to inflluence your kids, you are. So if they screw up, it's your parenting skills.

I scoff at over reacters.
Oh come now, this is for pure entertainment only, people who think this should be banned are people that usually think we should be watching over our kids shoulders when all we got to do is to watch our kids grow,give them support they need, allow them to make their choices, after five or six years old they should be put into a situation of the real world, they should learn that the world isn't there and doesn't live for them, to start working chores, and giving them a fair pay of money for the jobs they do, and after two or three years teach them about wants and needs, be a guide to them to put them on the right path, at the age of ten they should learn about "The birds and the bees" and talk about how to treat their fellow person with respect, and then they should be allowed to watch stuff like this at twelve or so, the modern kid is usually think and act more older than their age, and tell them what you say, and if it is illegal or not. this show isn't bad, it's the parents that try to keep their kids innocent and pure who are, for while they control their lives, when the kid becomes eighteen he or she will go wild with freedom, so in other words a firm grip is good.

i got upset
I just watched the episode for the fisrt time actually and was totally okay with eveything ( as I am an open minded individual when it comes to sex, drugs rock & roll you could say) However, there was segment of the show that pertained to the art or even the atual association with doing this for a living to begging/ soliciting for money as a homeless person or a person challenged in some sort of way!! What a bunch of crap for our nation to watch, is there no morals what so ever? There are so many good people out there even if they do live a little on the edge And taking advantage and or promoting that is something that is totally unforgiven....so get it off your show and draw a line!! Even if you want ot have a tv program that is on the edge this is no way of doing it

DON'T Let you kids watch this warped garbage.
Here are some of the lowlights I saw on MANswers: 1) How much alcohol you can safely binge drink before you die (Miller Beer actually sponsored this episode) 2) How to pass a drugs test even if you are on drugs or intoxicated (which is of course illegal). 3) How to remove a bullet from you body yourself so the hospital won't report you to the police (also illegal and incredibly stupid) 4) How to spot an undercover narcotics officer (they went into great detail about tips drug dealers can use to thwart DEA and law enforcement.) 5) Which animals are best to have sex with (I'm not kidding - this show went into great detail about bestiality.) I think it's meant to be funny but it isn't. It's really just sad that garbage like this makes it onto the airwaves. All I can advise is don't watch MANswers, Spike TV, or their parent company MTV.
