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.
