Thank you Interscope for making domestic violence romantic again.
13 AugI was on CNN.com trying to pretend I care about the news, and I came across this video article:
http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/showbiz/2010/08/13/am.costello.domestic.violence.cnn?hpt=C2
So check out the music video itself before you decide what you really think:
Now…
Are you also pissed as shit? I know all relationships are different. But I think it’s very fucked up to illustrate an abusive relationship as sexy and give it a happy cuddly ending. Ending exactly as it began. Though the ending does show that it will be a cycle of abuse until someone leaves for good. But still…hot sex during abuse…really? Really??
I’m pretty sure being beat about the face doesn’t make one hot. Maybe I’m just weird.
There is much more that can be said about this video. Like why would Rihanna, a known victim of abuse, be cool with illustrating that abuse is a cause and effect type of deal? If you yell at me I hit you and then you yell and I hit again. The fact is that in reality you don’t have to say anything to be hit. You can act as calm as a bunny on a Summer day and get beat to shit because your bunny partner is an abusive prick. Anyway…
Did the hobbit get the temporary tattoos put on for the video to make him look badass? Or did he get them post hobbit to show chicks he was a manly man?
One final thought: How many “wife beaters” aka ribbed tanks does Eminem own? He wears them in almost every music video. And isn’t it funny he wears a wife beater while singing about hitting his girlfriend? HA.
P.S. Mike told me to make it clean that this is not an allegory for our domestic bliss.

Rent Boys: The Musical
4 Aug
I wanna see a musical with the following plot: An old married couple rent a rent boy to pretend he is their son at a family reunion. Hilariousness ensues as he pretends he’s their son and simultaneously tries to pickup future customers (“Johns”) like Uncle Joe and Cousin Phil.
What’s a rent boy? It’s a young man prostitute. Or a male child one. Either way it’s a baby man ho.
I think it’s a genius plot. If I see it anywhere else I’m suing your ass!
Rihanna has ripped off Tank Girl!!

Just to be clear: Rihanna’s video is a glam rip off of the original Tank Girl style from the comic and the film. What do you think?
