If you happens to be a fan of the popular culture, 'Blurred Line' must have came across your path more than once within the past months as a smashing hit on the radio, clubs and guest-houses. The video caused lots of controversy upon its sexism and objectification of women, yet the description of 'artistic integrity' had let the point bypass the mind. This can be seen live in front of lots of minors in the fiasco of Robin Thicke and Miley Cyrus performed the song in the VMA earlier this month.
Individuals have created petition to ask YouTube to remove or ban the video from showing across the internet, See here. LINK
Recently, a parody of 'Defined Lines' by students in Auckland University's Law division has been removed for inappropriate content. The video speaks the exact reverse of what 'Blurred Line' constitute for, even its imagery with reversed roles (naked men while the womens fully clothed). The catchy parody raises awareness upon sex crimes, women exploitation, equality, misogyny.
The video has been re-uploaded from various users, check it out below.
Girls, fight for your equality, power to get men on leash, or not afraid to grab men's behind when you feel like it.
