Ford’s industry and manufacturing plants give their company a mechanistic structure. As a result, decisions are handed down from the top of the ‘power hierarchy’ and work procedures are mostly standardized and simplified.

Nonetheless, they did secure a "largely unknown singer," who wanted to "sing her new song, 'Like a Virgin, ' to a full-grown, white Bengal tiger" (Tannenbaum).

This became one of the most iconic performances in the awards show 's history and set the standard for other artists preforming on that stage as they tried to "steal the show" (Tannenbaum). This launched MTV 's first "franchise" (Tannenbaum). Needless to say, the network was happy. Others institutions had different reactions: The Canadian government, in particular, was not thrilled. When six years after the infamous performance of the song, they threatened to arrest her if she sang the reinvented version for the Toronto stop of her 1990 Blond Ambition Tour, which found her, once again, simulating masturbation, but this time, it was on a red silk bed in a cone bra. What was it about this song and these interpretations of its female sexuality that made a country 's government threaten legal action? What is about female masturbation that causes a so much panic?
