American Media
Americans have used this on several American anime TV shows like 2005's most popular TV series Avatar: The Last Airbender (Super Deformed shorts only). In the Super Deformed Shorts series all characters are depicted as Chibis, parodying the real series (the deformed shorts where created by the creators of the series) and characters. Like their Japanese counter parts, American anime shares the exaggeration of the characters' looks.

Famous quotes containing the words american and/or media:
“Profound as race prejudice is against the Negro American, it is not practically as far- reaching as the prejudice against women. For stripping away the sentimentality which makes Mother’s Day and Best American Mother Contests, the truth is that women suffer all the effects of a minority.”
—Pearl S. Buck (1892–1973)
“Never before has a generation of parents faced such awesome competition with the mass media for their children’s attention. While parents tout the virtues of premarital virginity, drug-free living, nonviolent resolution of social conflict, or character over physical appearance, their values are daily challenged by television soaps, rock music lyrics, tabloid headlines, and movie scenes extolling the importance of physical appearance and conformity.”
—Marianne E. Neifert (20th century)
