(5) Me, My-sex and I

After viewing the clips of “ The Blood”, it took me a while to realize exactly what SEINFELD was trying to suggest about food and sex. I begin to think about what America drives on, sometimes negatively and positively and the answer was very clear SEX! In “The Blood” we see George in the bed with his mate of the week, not only is he not paying attention to her, his mind is engaged in eating and entertainment. This particular section of the episode shows that not only has sex become a chore for some people it has become something that is for self-pleasure only. This is shown especially by George because of his narcissistic-ness, but is humorous because sex is becoming exactly how George portrays it. For yourself, for your own pleasure, and forget about the person you’re suppose to be with.

Lastly, SEINFELD is suggesting that food is becoming a pleasure for people instead of its original use. As seen by George in “The Blood”, he is being very pleasured by the food. He begins to eat it uncontrollably and ask Jerry is he going to eat his food, Jerry goes on to say “I hope that’s all you’re gonna do with it”. This statement was perfect; because it is suggesting that not only does America eat food, we indulge in it to the point were we have a high percentage of obesity. Basically SEINFELD was making fun of America on its takes of food and sex, and there metaphors are exactly correct.
