A perverted elderly man who inappropriately becomes involved with his sons
girlfriend. When confronted the initial reaction of the Ken to a perceived humiliation is a conscious rejection of the humiliating input. The Ken tries to ignore it, talk it out of
existence, or belittle its importance. If this crude mechanism of cognitive dissonance fails, the Ken resorts to denial and repression of the humiliating material. He "forgets" all about it, gets it out of his
mind and, when reminded of it, denies it.
