Heroes Strikin' Out

[botias]

I tried to watch Heroes the other night, Episode 1, season 1.

Strike 1: Pritty professor guy talks about how we use only 10% of our brain. Yis, and don't forget that masturbating will make you go blind and you should always forward virus warnings to everyone you know

Strike 2: First female character is a sex worker

Strike 3: Second female character is a cheerleader

If the professor is actually supposed to know not of which he speaks, then my respect for the show will be raised a smidge, but I probably still won't watch. Frankly, too guy porn for my tastes.

I don't have any problem with the female characters of themselves. I don't think there is anything wrong with being a sex worker or a cheerleader. But I think they were given these rather unrepresentative professions purely for guy porn purposes. What's the matter with that? That's a question for another post, but it seemed like a big sign as to what the role of women was going to be on the show.
