Yeah, It Was A Throwback To Less Enlightened Days, But You'd Check It Out Anyway

With "Sabado Gigante" ending after 53 years (first in Chile, later with the familiar Univision Miami-based edition), this article wonders if people should be celebrating the show or celebrating its demise. That's because, yes, the show is a relic of sexism (scantily clad, large-busted women, exaggerated wacky horny guys), even as it's hosted several presidents as guests (including President and Mrs. Obama). Degrading to women? Sort of, but do you give a show like that a pass, like "The Benny Hill Show" or something, or do you say that it's inexcusable in this day and age? (Los Angeles Times)
