Year: 2010 Length: 1:16 Access: Hulu Summary: This SNL commercial parodies one of many actual TV ads in which products that may or may not improve appearance and "health" are targeted towards women of all ages. Sally Field, a spokeswoman for the prescription medication Boniva, is the subject of this specific parody (see original commercial and additional video critique). This spot highlights the important issue of age in gender. The aging and elderly are commonly marginalized in discussions of sexuality and gender, as their age excludes them from being considered "sexual," "desirable," or in some cases, even "able bodied." Viewers interested in discussions of aging and gender may be interested in using this clip to discuss how bodies are subject to economic and social control, regardless of age. Commercialized forms of control, such as the consumption of goods intended to "solve" problems which may not actually exist as "problems," is just one kind of controlling behavior. Women's bodies are especially susceptible to this kind of control, and are regularly used as the site for cultural production (Bourdieu). Fear is another important component in the process of regulating bodies. Fear of women's bodies, or the fear of our own bodies (male or female), can be produced in a culture that misinforms or denies readily available and reliable information on the subject.

I just want to say Thank You to everyone who supported me through the years. My name is Manuel Franco, New Berlin, Wisconsin. My story of how I won the Powerball lottery of $768.4M is a bit of a tale. I have been playing Powerball tickets for 6 years now since I turned 18. I bought my first ticket on my 18 birthday. I was feeling very lucky that day because I had contacted Dr. Odunga Michael to help me with the winning Powerball numbers. I really had that great great feeling that I looked at the camera wanting to wink at it. I only did a tiny part of it and trusted him. He gave me the numbers after I played a couple other tickets along with it for $10. I checked my ticket after the winnings came online and saw the numbers were correct including the Power play. I screamed for about 10 minutes because it felt like a dream. I had won $768.4M. You can check my winning testimony with the lottery officials just with my name search. Thank you Dr Odunga. Well, his email is [email protected] and you can also call or Whats-app him at +2348167159012 so you guys can contact him
