Really good account of the making of another video in collaboration with Sut Jhally, titled "Money for Nothing: Behind the Business of Pop Music.  The name of the piece by the video's producer Kembrew McLeod is "Making the Video: Constructing an Effective Counter-Hegemonic Message in Only Forty-Nine Minutes.": http://ir.uiowa.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1002&context=commstud_pubs  Good brief discussion of the way Jhally's use of film clips is supportable by the Fair Use Clause of the Copyright Act of 1976, "which protects the unlicensed re- production of media for the purposes of criticism, commentary and education."


"Women are More Likely to Be Half-Naked on Screen and Other Film Stats": Interesting infographic about a related topic: women in film: http://jezebel.com/women-are-more-likely-to-be-half-naked-on-screen-and-ot-1472083619 (Example of the stats: "Women on screen are way more likely than men to be not-talking and naked or half naked. Using data from Top Ten lists, the highest-earning woman in Hollywood makes about as much as the lowest-ranked men.")
