Bow Down To The Tarts.

For a while, music videos have been highlighting (for lack of better words) sluttiness and rudeness. I suppose you really should think before imitating stuff you see on TV, but it's getting silly now. It's like a sumbliminal message a minute: "It's okay to curse loudly cuz you want to. It's okay to walk around barely dressed. It's okay to publicly oggle other people. It's okay to make tasteless remarks 80% of the time. It's okay to get drunk and lauch yourself into a brawl."

I suppose they've toned down the whole gang violence and drugs stuff, but now they're really into behavior that normally, one would not put up with and that one should not have to put up with. They show beautiful women wearing bikinis wandering around near general stores. You know, I don't mind if you like your body. But there are places when you kinda should cover up. And then there's the guys leering at these women.

It's always nice to be appreciated, yes. But when there's six or seven guys trying to see down your shirt...that's different. And while I haven't seen it in any videos yet, the same applied for girls. If there is a guy with a very nice body who happens to be wandering around shirtless for some reason, that does not mean it's okay to just stand there and stare.

And then there's the cursing. I curse. I do. But not all the time. No one does. But now some people try to insert as many random curses into their sentences as possible. Why? What purpose does this even acheive? The same goes for tasteless remarks. Just because some stranger has a nice ass, does not mean you should approach said stranger and tell him/her of his endowment. Because get this: it's rude.

Now, we come to Avril Lavigne's new video, Girlfriend. It's a catchy song, isn't it? Even though it's really annoying at first. Anyhoo, those of you who haven't seen the video, you can head on over to Youtube. But it's a mean, mean video. You see a tall skinny guy dressed in black hanging out with his girlfriend, a pretty redhead who's dressed very conservatively. And then you see another girl, dressed in black being rude to the redhead, flirting with the redhead's boyfriend, verbally abusing the redhead, and hitting the redhead with a golf ball. If I were the redhead, I would tear out Avril Lavigne's pretty long blonde hair and stuff it all up her nose. No, not really. But I would at least stand my ground. This has nothing to do with anything does it?

But yeah. People like this kind of behavior. They cheer it on. They support it. But if someone did that to them it's "BITCH!". Don't believe me? Read the comments under the video. Go to another video you can think of that's tasteless or features people being rude and tarty. The comments usually go "Yeah! This video rocks!"

And there's another thing bothers me. In that Girlfriend video, instead of standing up for his girlfriend, the dude lets goth-girl walk all over her and smiles and flirts, etc. I suppose males would flock to the video to see Avril bouncing around in a tight top and short shorts and there, they'd get the idea that it's okay to watch your girlfriend get bullied while the bully flirts with you. It's rather annoying.

And so, my random rant comes to a close. By the way, yes, I did copy this from my thread.
