Today, in SOC 101 we were covering Symbolic Interactionism, and we watched a video on weight-training. It featured four high-school boys, and interviews of what they thought of weight-training, what they think the girls look for in a guy, girls’ perspective of what they look for in a guy, as well as people in the fitness business (trainers, supplement store rep, etc.). It was definitely an interesting video, because when people talk about being image conscious most would automatically think of girls — e.g. how the media portrays beautiful women. I haven’t heard a lot of talk about the pressure guys (especially young men) experience in terms of their weight, and appearance in general.

You learn something new on the Internet everyday. I stumbled on this page today. From the article:
“Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo.” is a grammatically correct sentence used as an example of how homonyms and homophones can be used to create complicated constructs.
The article also includes other similar sentences. Quite interesting indeed. :P
