As Messrs Mueller and Stewart point out in another paper, by wildly exaggerating the extent of the threat that terrorists pose, political leaders and security specialists play the terrorists' game by glamorising their squalid enterprise.

Sarah Crompton of The Telegraph found the pilot "compelling" but argued that "the depiction of the army – which became too obviously her surrogate family – would be better suited to a glossy advertising campaign than a television drama, glamorising both its methods and its personnel". Audience reaction on social media website Twitter was overall positive.

Many critics disliked "Baby's Got a Temper" when released. PopMatters commented that the song "doesn’t sound like a great leap forward from the last Flint-fronted tracks, and that's a big disappointment considering that we've been waiting five years for it." In addition, NME panned the song, and called the Prodigy "just total fucking idiots" while unfavorably comparing it to glue. The song was banned from radio stations in the UK due to "glamorising" Rohypnol.

This song caused a scandal as it was accused of glamorising pedophilia and incest. Charlotte, who then was thirteen, sings ambiguous lyrics seeming to refer to an impossible physical love between an adult and his child. In addition, the relationship between the two singers is the same as the protagonists of the song, which led to suspicions on the autobiographical nature of the work. Serge Gainsbourg denied these allegations in the media.

85 Science was to be presented as the most natural area for introducing the "Jewish Question" once teachers took care to point out that in nature, animals associated with those of their own species. Teachers' guidelines on racial instruction presented both the handicapped and Jews as dangers. Despite their many photographs glamorising the "Nordic" type, the texts also claimed that visual inspection was insufficient, and genealogical analysis was required to determine their types and report any hereditary problems.Lynn H. Nicholas, Cruel World: The Children of Europe in the Nazi Web p.

The media was also accused of glamorising Moat with descriptions of him such as "having a hulking physique" and being "a notorious hard man", while providing less coverage about his victims. During some coverage, Sky News had used police-issue body armour and Heckler & Koch semiautomatic carbines as studio props. Belfast Telegraph observed that by 8 July the manhunt was continuing to receive "saturation coverage on radio and television". The Guardian also wrote that, to the news media, Moat had become "a valuable commodity, his actions tracked by millions".

" When asked if she thought the council was overreacting, Hackney MP Diane Abbott insisted: "It is only a music video but it's images like this, with popstars glamorising gangs, which means that some young people... get drawn in. Britney should really know better." Rae Alexandra of the SF Weekly explained that the United Kingdom "is not a place that readily embraces guns. Rather, it's a place where guns are rare, gun licensing is tightly controlled, and the entire establishment has been in a panic about gun use on its streets for the last three years.

Erected outside the show, were 30-foot burning crucifixes. His following show in September 1998 "Cocaine Nights", (named after J.G. Ballard's novel, and also inspired by the film Face/Off ) had the models walking on a catwalk spread with sugar-like cocaine with a model wearing a dress made of razor blades. At the time, Bill Clinton, then President of the USA, had condemned the fashion industry for glamorising drug use, so this was seen as a deliberate provocation. Before Groves launched his eponymous label, he worked as the head assistant to Alexander McQueen for several years.

The film received mixed reviews, with criticism directed at it for glamorising misogyny and toxic masculinity. Nitya Prakash writing for Bombay Weekly rated the film with four out of five stars and finds it "visually compelling" having "haunting performances" and "nuanced writing". Praising cinematography, Kapoor's acting and score, he said, "Kabir Singh" is not a film; it's an experience that’ll stay with you." Ronak Kotecha of The Times of India rated the film 3.5 out of 5 stars, saying,"While Kabir Singh is a welcome change from stereotypical love stories, this kind of love affair needs some getting used to.

Pablo, voiced by David Mitchell, has a wry sense of humour and manages to satirise not only the cocaine trade but also the advert itself, through quotes like "I picked up the phone...somehow..and talked to Frank" and "Ever woken up with a huge gash in your stomach? I've had better mornings". Elements of recreational cocaine use are ridiculed in the campaign's six adverts, from bleeding nostrils being likened to an anus to sob-stories from pound notes used to snort the drug ("I hate being up his nostril!"). Indeed, the use of Pablo in the anti-drug campaign has been met with praise in the media and in the public eye, particularly for the large impact made without glamorising the drug trade.

So Solid Crew were one of the first to draw attention to supposed incidents of gun crime that occurred on the estates in the 1990s and 2000s, although notable members (including Ashley Walters) were also accused of glamorising violence by being convicted or charged with many offences involving firearms. Unfortunately, many teenagers have been shot or stabbed to death in the immediate vicinity of the estates: Fabian Ricketts in 2006, Kyle McDonald in 2013, Matthew Kitwande in 2016 and Mahammed Hassan in 2017. Indeed, Mahad Mohammed in 2011 was 20, Mohammed Hassan in 2016 was 35 and Tesfa Campbell was 38 in 2019. The estate was named as having particularly high levels within Wandsworth of knife crime in the Kinghan Report, but which were still comparatively lower than the Doddington and Rollo and Henry Prince Estates.

British pop singer alt=Close-up colour photograph of Lily Allen performing live in 2007 According to Neil Robinson, NME publishing director, the Cool List often generated a "big reaction" from critics – since its introduction in 2002, it attracted responses from several sources. After naming Pete Doherty as the "coolest" person of 2004, the magazine was criticised by drug charities and accused of glamorising drug abuse, as Doherty was, at the time, fighting addictions to both heroin and crack cocaine. Rebecca Cheshire of drugs charity Addaction explained that "young people are vulnerable to hard drugs and not everyone has the ability to fall back on expensive rehabilitation programmes like rock stars." Needham responded by stating that the magazine did not endorse drug abuse, and that it was "not a heroin addiction which makes Pete Doherty the coolest".

The initial concept for the show by Dan Carr and John C. Ferraro was held in Erie, Pennsylvania, in the USA before being sold to Samuel Goldwyn Productions/MGM where the format was adapted and televised as American Gladiators with the first series airing over 1989–90. As the show progressed, new events were introduced along with new Gladiators, sometimes retiring previous Gladiators. Following the success of American Gladiators, other countries began to produce their own versions of the show with the UK and Finland starting production in 1992. American Gladiators had already picked up a cult following in the UK after being shown on late night TV. The UK, most noticeably adapted the concept into a large arena (the National Indoor Arena in Birmingham), glamorising the show, often adapting events from the American series as well as introducing many of their own, often more high-tech.

121 To make it more ridiculous "comical humours" are added from Ben Johnson's Ghost and the exploits of "Scaramouch" Jack Hall, who here is depicted as escaping Newgate by lowering himself down the privy. Whether Jack Hall actually escaped this way is unknown; there are few surviving records of Hall aside from the sensationalist Memoirs of the Right Villainous John Hall, and the account of Hall in The Newgate Calendar does not mention any escape. It is possible that this was added as another absurdist element, to deride the fashion for glamorising the exploits of criminals. The caption mocks the players further suggesting that in the conclusion to the play the three men will perform the "Hay Dance" while suspended from ropes hanging from the painted depiction of the nine muses above, and concludes: "The Bricks, Rubbish &c; will be real, but the Excrements upon Jack Hall will be made of Chew'd Gingerbread to prevent Offense".

In 2004, the BBC apologised unreservedly and paid £250 in compensation to a Somerset parish council, after Clarkson damaged a 30-year-old horse-chestnut tree by driving into it to test the strength of a Toyota Hilux.BBC News – BBC stumps up for tree stunt, 21 February 2004 In December 2006, the BBC complaints department upheld the complaint of four Top Gear viewers that Clarkson had used the phrase "ginger beer" (rhyming slang for "queer") in a derogatory manner, when Clarkson picked up on and agreed with an audience member's description of the Daihatsu Copen as being a bit "gay". The Top Gear: Polar Special was criticised by the BBC Trust for glamorising drink driving in a scene showing Clarkson and James May in a vehicle, despite Clarkson saying to the camera, "And please do not write to us about drinking and driving, because I am not driving I am sailing" (as they were on top of international, frozen waters).BBC News Top Gear rapped for alcohol use, 2 July 2008 They stated the scene "was not editorially justified" despite occurring outside the jurisdiction of any drink-driving laws.
