During the 1960s American society was undergoing a lot of change. People didn't know how to handle it. This really is the only possible explanation for all the odd TV shows which used to flourish in America in those times. You had the Munsters and the Adams Family, shows in which ghouls and monsters were portrayed interacting with ordinary people and the repeating theme was their inability to understand that they were different from average people. The list of such shows is a long one. You had an astronaut who lived with a genie (I Dream of Jeannie), you had a bloke who lived with a witch (Bewitched), you had some backward hillibillies who struck oil and ended up rich, living in Beverley Hills (The Beverley Hillbillies).

The media used the turmoil to create some amusing shows. Currently the SFP more or less occupies a caricature position in the media, much like that of some of the people in those old shows. I imagine that if you had to describe the caricature it might be something like a cross between the Beverley Hillbillies and the Adams Family. Or at least that's how the greens would like it to be. I suspect that it might be a lot harder to completely change a caricature image rather than just alter it a bit. Whilst attempts have been made to show that SFP constituents are normal everyday citizens who fit in , this has never really grabbed the public's imagination. So perhaps some thought could be given to a new stereotype which is one SFP can live with.

I did see one fictional character who I thought encapsulated the personality of the mythical SFP constituent in the remake of "Les Miserables". There was a line delivered by Geoffrey Rush as Inspector Javier, when he finally catches the convict who stole some bread and says to him, " I have always tried to live my life without ever breaking a single rule."
