Caught In a Bad Romance
This is just an update that I finally added the caption contest and you can compete by clicking here.
So, last night I couldn’t sleep so I decided to surf YouTube for something interesting to watch. I decided that since I liked the song Paparazzi by Lady Gaga, I would finally see the video. I know, I’m way off in my timing.
Anyway, as I began to watch it my blood began to boil. I don’t know if her producers are aware of this, but there are young girls (10 year olds) who watch MTV and see the music videos they play. When you put an intense make-out/pre-sex scene in a music video that a ten year old can see whenever she wants on the television, I get a little freaking pissed off.
If you’ve never seen the video and or heard the song, I’ve posted the video below.
Now, is it just me or is that beginning make-out scene a little intense? I’m pretty sure he grabs her ass at one point. Please tell me if I’m going crazy but if I my children were watching this I’d be pretty pissed off. All in all, I think we should leave that shit out and set it aside for porn, not every day music videos. I mean, really, children do as they see because they don’t know any better. Yes, even 10 year olds. They don’t have minds of their own yet (well, some do) or opinions that are really that strong. Imagine, when they see shit like that on tv being done by an artist they idolize they’re going to think that’s how they should act. When really, no, we don’t need ten year olds making out. Come on now.
It’s not just that video. If any of you have seen the video for her other famous song, Love Game, one of her back up dancers strokes her crotch quite obviously while they’re dancing. It’s clear that it’s part of the dance routine and that’s what makes it even worse.
Don’t get me wrong, her videos are interesting and I never get bored when watching them; her songs are pretty catchy as well. I just think they need to cut back on the sex scenes and leave that for porn. I could be going crazy but I’m just saying, this shit drives me nuts.
