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.
Ken : Nice
breastsSons uncomfortable girlfriend : Ahh..
thanks.. Ken.
Ken : You know you have lost your looks since you lost weight.
Sons uncomfortable girlfriend : Actually Ken I've not lost any weight, and
thanks for the pep talk.
