Brilliant parody of Robin Thicke's 'Blurred Lines'

[Scarletohello]

Just watched the BBC2 doc on sexism, 'Blurred Lines', was so depressing and upsetting but they did show the feminist fight back including this video, a hilarious and clever parody of 'Blurred Lines'

Do have a watch, it made me smile...

Given the nature of rap music, and the plethora of songs promoting bitches, hoes and fisticuffs, why did this song in particular attract so much ire? Is it simply because it became so popular, or is there another aspect to it?

A number of reasons,

Partly the original, uncensored video has completely naked women on it and secondly the lyrics, especially the line, I'm going to give you something to tear your ass in two...

I know the video and lyrics contain certain things many find objectionable. What I am wondering is why this song above so many, many rap songs has been highlighted. The whole genre is packed full of pretty awful stuff.

I think it's because it was so mainstream, Jeebus. It was played on all the radio stations, and started popping up in children's dance classes etc.

because it's almost literally an ode to rape.

And like sanity said a main stream/played at school discos ode to rape.

That was like watching your Mum trying to be cool.
