What Talk Show Hosts Should Not Make Public

Even though talk show hosts talks about anything and everything, I do not think it is appropriate for a talk show host to give birth on camera and make a film about it. I am in a class this semester called "Gender and Sex Roles" and in this class we recently watched a film that was all about Ricki Lake giving birth. It is called The Business of Being Born.

Although she wanted to reveal how much better childbirth is at home as oppose to a hospital, it was just to much to show on TV. Lake even admitted that she knew that none of it would be flattering, it seems like it was just a publicity stunt to gain the attention of viewers that would hopefully attract viewers to her show. Unfortunately, I think that this grossed most people out.
