(9) : The Simpsons (SE5 E14) 'Lisa VS Malibu Stacy' (1994)




The Malibu Stacy is such a big hit in the town. 
It is the name of a brand new doll like Barbie.
Every girl wants it and wants to be like Malibu Stacy. 

But Lisa Simpson is different. 
She thinks the image of the blonde is degrading 
due to the funny comments have been made by the dolls. 
Here, Lisa was an ordinary American kid 
who also plays with the doll 
but thinks the comments aren't fair to women 
and she tries to meet the founder of the Malibu Stacy doll 
and wants to change the comments of the doll.
So she made an action:
Lisa tracks down the company of the Malibu Stacy
 and meets Stacy Lovelle, the founder of Malibu Stacy 
and asks her to create a brand new doll name Lisa Lionheart. 
But during the process, she faces the problem 
that the company tries to make profit ‘only’ no matter what. 
She tries to make a protest against the sexism. 


 I think the main theme of this episode is that 
there are Sexists exist. And  women are not having the equal rights at all.

The main social issue was the sexual harassment 
happening between women and men in the work place. 
And also that companies are only thinking about the profits
 and not considering their image does a big role in the society. 

By watching the episode, 
it was easy to see that how MNCs' or the big companies 
easily deceive the general public and only think about making the profit. 
And thru Lisa, 
I learnt that action and words are really important 
when it comes to kids because they learn quickly, especially the bad things. 
And even nowadays, 
there are many companies shouting for the equality but in reality, sexism still exists.

  1. You've chosen to focus on an important issue affecting Korean society these days. I haven't seen this episode of the Simpsons, but it looks like a good one.

    All the best for the summer.
